Abstract

Brazil and one of the main fruit producers in the world, and all this production generates co-products with great nutritional potential to be used in the feeding of birds, however such foods have antinutritional factors such as non-starch polysaccharides (PNA) that can impair performance and therefore the use of exogenous enzymes such as carbohydrases (β-glucanase and xylanase), which can break these polysaccharides by helping to provide nutrients and consequently to improve performance. This literature review aims to highlight the potential of the use of fruit co-products in poultry feed, for which the main fruits used in the diets of broiler chickens, laying hens and quails, as well as the effects of non-commercial polysaccharides starches present in these co-products, as well as the benefits of using carbohydrases such as β-glucanase and xylanase in poultry feed.
