Pleurotus ostreatus Mushroom: A Promising Feed Supplement in Poultry Farming

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 663 - 663

Published: April 25, 2024

Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. ex Fr.) P. Kumm mushrooms are cultivated on diverse by-products based substrates that hold promise for mitigating antibiotic usage in the poultry industry and reducing environmental pollution. By incorporating agricultural into mushroom cultivation, functionality of products can be increased, then final product a more effective feed supplement. After spent substrate (SMS) valorized, due to presence huge amounts bioactive compounds like β-glucan, chitin, polyphenols, flavonoids related mycelia. As prebiotic antimicrobial supplement, these positively influence gut microbiota, intestinal morphology, thus overall well-being. This article underscores potential solid-state fermentation (SSF) enhance bioactivity oyster their derivatives, offering cost-effective efficient strategy transforming unconventional feeding materials. Moreover, it emphasizes broader implications, including reduction dependence farming, highlighting promising integration derivatives sustainable environmentally conscious production.
