The ever-growing human population,coupled with the exigent need to meet the increasing demand for poultry meat and egg,has put the onus on poultry nutritionists and farmers to identify alternative feed ingredients that could assure the least-cost feed formulation.In addition,the public desire for non-antibiotic-treated poultry products has also necessitated the ultimate search for potent antibiotic al-ternatives for use in poultry production.While some identified alternatives are promising,their cost implications and technical know-how requirements may discourage their ease of adoption in poultry.The use of plants and/or their by-products,like fruit pomaces,present a pocket-friendly advantage and as a result,are gaining much interest.This is traceable to their rich phytochemical profile,nutritional composition,ready availability,and relatively cheap cost.The fruit juice and wine pressing industries generate a plethora of fruit wastes annually.Interestingly,fruit pomaces contain appreciable dietary fibre,protein,and phenolic compounds,and thus,their adoption could serve the poultry industry in dual capacities including as substitutes to antibiotics and some conventional feedstuff.Thus,there is a pos-sibility to reduce fruit wastes produced and feed-cost in poultry farming from environmental and economical standpoints,respectively.This review seeks to provide reinforcing evidence on the appli-cability and impact of fruit pomaces in poultry nutrition.
