Abstract

The last 60 years have seen an increase in the world's meat consumption. The FAO reports that since the 1960s, the world's meat production has expanded fivefold. According to FAO, 2023estimates, 364 million tons of meat will be produced. Meat output needs to rise to 498 million tons by 2050 to keep up with the growing global population. Conversely, the FAO recommended that a daily minimum of 29.3g of animal protein per capita be consumed. Regretfully, 19.2 grams of animal protein are consumed per day/person in Egypt. One of the most important elements limiting the growth and profitability of animal production is the feeding redients. Feed ingredients are one of the most critical factors that limit the development and profitability of animal production. Over 80% of the expenses associated with producing animals are related to feed. Nonetheless, agricultural techniques in Egypt generate 27.683 million tons of agricultural leftovers, which have low nutritional content. Thus, there are numerous ways to make use of such massive agricultural wastes sustainably. These wastes can provide numerous high-energy and useful products, such as compost production (bio-fertilizers), food production (growing mushrooms), energy production (Biogas, biodiesel, and bioethanol), multitudes of bio-chemicals and animal feed production. This review tries to throw some light on the different methods of utilizing agricultural wastes as alternative feed resources in the desert and marginal environmental conditions of Egypt
