“…Furthermore, lipid extracts from A. crispa fruits were shown to have properties protecting against lung and kidney diseases in mice (Mena et al 2019;Oyarzábal-Yera et al 2019). The use of kernel and pulp cakes as animal feed is still under exploration, e.g., with regard to rumen degradability in sheep and inclusion of pulp cake in the diets of broilers and rabbits (Ferreira et al 2019a(Ferreira et al , 2019bNeta et al 2019).…”

Acrocomia spp., a genus of wild-growing palms in the neotropics, is rapidly gaining interest as a promising multipurpose crop. Diverse products can be derived from various components of the palm, the oils being of highest interest. Acrocomia shows similar oil yield and fatty acid composition to the African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). It is, however, able to cope with a wider range of environmental conditions, including temporary water scarcity and lower temperatures, thus potentially a more sustainable alternative to its tropical counterpart. Acrocomia’s research history is recent compared to other traditional crops and thus knowledge gaps, uncertainty, and challenges need to be addressed. This review attempts to assess the acrocomia’s preparedness for cultivation by highlighting the state-of-the-art in research and identifying research gaps. Based on a systematic literature search following a value web approach, it (a) provides a comprehensive overview of research topics, (b) shows the development of publication activities over time and the drivers of this development, and (c) compiles main findings to assess the acrocomia’s preparedness for commercial cultivation. Our results confirm its multipurpose characteristic as a potential feedstock for manifold sectors. Research has continued to increase over the last decade, especially on A. aculeata and is driven by the interest in bioenergy. Increasing knowledge on botany has contributed to understanding the genetic diversity and genus-specific biology. This has enabled applied research on seed germination and propagation toward domestication and initial plantation activities, mostly in Brazil. Main research gaps are associated with genotype–environment interaction, planting material, crop management, and sustainable cropping systems. Overall, we conclude that acrocomia is at an early phase of development as an alternative and multipurpose crop and its up-scaling requires the integration of sustainability strategies tailored to location-based social-ecological conditions.

“…Leaves (fresh leaves and dried leaves), young branches, and seed residues after oil extraction have been used to feed farm animals (24). In recent years, Moringa leaves have been widely used as substitutes for traditional protein feeds for monogastric animals (e.g., pig, rabbit, chicken), ruminants (e.g., cattle and sheep), and aquatic animals (24,52,53).…”

“…Studies on the growth performance of broiler chickens demonstrated that M. oleifera leaf meal can significantly improve bowel health by balancing intestinal microflora, thus promoting weight gain (52,54). Alabi et al (55) verified that broilers fed with diets containing aqueous M. oleifera leaf extracts had increased body weights, low total feed intake, and improved feed conversion ratio compared with the control group.…”

The increased consumption of livestock, poultry, and fish products in people's diet threatens to drive production toward the use of more and more conventional crops in animal feeds. In this context, alleviating the tightening grain crop supply and ensuring the healthy development of animal husbandry through innovations in protein feedstuff production remain considerable challenges. Moringa oleifera is a miracle tree species with abundant nutrients, high protein biological value, and good feeding effect. As a new protein feedstuff, M. oleifera has great potential in alleviating the feeding crisis. Here, we review available literature regarding the characterization of M. oleifera in the field of animal husbandry in terms of nutrient content, digestion, and absorption characteristics, and feeding effects and present current challenges in using M. oleifera as animal feed.

“…The use of an enzymatic method in this trial was also dictated by the need to avoid being dependent on animals. We measured the precision of a method (ENZ) that used only commercial enzymes, avoiding the use of cecal content in the last step of the digestion trial, as described by Ferreira et al [ 14 ]. According to Pascual et al [ 7 ], using only enzymes for in vitro digestion of single feeds, the results showed a higher correlation with in vivo values (R 2 = 0.95).…”

“…This instrument has been used by De Blas et al [ 12 ] to determine the digestibility of co-products derived from olive cake in rabbit diets. Ferreira et al [ 13 , 14 ] modified the procedure described by Abad et al [ 15 ] and measured the digestibility with the Ankom Daisy II Incubator using the cecal content for the last multienzyme step. The Daisy II Incubator was also tested by Kovitvadhi et al [ 16 ] for the estimation of the in vitro apparent dry matter digestibility, with positive results using crude enzymes extracted from the digestive organs of rabbits.…”

The apparent dry matter digestibility of diets for rabbits was measured in vivo (ADMDvv) and in vitro with the Ankom DaisyII Incubator. Four diets were tested: low fiber (LF), LF + 5% of pregerminated fenugreek seeds (PGFS) (LF5), LF + 10% PGFS (LF10), and high fiber (HF). For the ADMDvv, feces samples were collected from 56 White New-Zealand × Californian rabbits fed the 4 diets; animals were randomly allocated into 4 groups and housed in individual cages. For the in vitro trial, 3 methods were tested: fecal inoculum (FA) with Kansans State buffer; fecal inoculum with artificial saliva (FB); and multienzyme (ENZ). Fecal inocula were collected at slaughtering from the distal colon of rabbits fed ad libitum the LF diet. For FA and FB methods, the digestibility was measured at 36 and 48 h. The in vitro methods ranked the apparent dry matter digestibility of diets in the same order as in vivo, but ENZ values were always higher than FA and FB at 36 and 48 h. The prediction equations of in vivo digestibility with the ENZ method showed higher coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.69) and lower SE (0.190) than FA and FB; also, reproducibility was higher with ENZ (CV = 3.1%). In conclusion, different methods can be applied to the Ankom DaisyII Incubator to study the digestibility in rabbits. In our trial, the better reproducibility was observed with the multienzyme method than FA and FB were probably related to the variability of inocula.
