Abstract

Harnessing the transformative potential of leguminous seeds presents a sustainable and nutrient-rich approach to optimizing poultry diets and enhancing overall flock performance. These seeds offer a wealth of beneficial compounds, including high-quality proteins with well-balanced amino acid profiles for robust growth, diverse lipids with essential fatty acids for critical physiological processes, dietary fiber for gut health, and antioxidants to mitigate oxidative stress. Strategic incorporation of leguminous seeds can promote efficient feed conversion, bolster immune resilience, and improve disease resistance. While challenges like anti-nutritional factors and variability in nutrient bioavailability exist, ongoing research focuses on developing advanced processing techniques, enzyme supplementation, and targeted cultivar selection to maximize utilization. Responsible integration necessitates evaluating environmental sustainability, economic viability, and ethical considerations surrounding animal welfare and food security. By overcoming these hurdles, the poultry industry can fully unleash the transformative power of leguminous seeds, propelling sustainable and efficient protein production for a food-secure future.
