A Review on the Use of Mango (𝑀𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑖𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑎 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑎) by-Products in Animal Nutrition

The growing global population has increased competition for cereal crops like maize, sorghum, and barley, while the demand for animal protein continues to rise. This has prompted animal nutritionists to explore alternative feedstuffs to reduce the high cost of animal feed. One promising alternative is the use of reject mango fruits in animal nutrition, which has shown positive effects on feeding economics, nutrient digestibility, milk yield, animal health, growth, and laying bird performance. However, mango by-products such as peels, pulps, leaves, and kernels contain anti-nutritional factors, including saponins, lectins, tannins, trypsin inhibitors, and cyanogenic glycosides, which can limit their use in animal diets. These anti-nutrients can be mitigated through simple detoxification methods such as drying, boiling, fermentation, soaking, and leaching, allowing higher inclusion levels of mango by-products in animal feed without adverse effects. This review highlights the nutritional composition of various mango by-products and examines their impact on different animals, analyzing relevant studies on their use in animal diets.
