Résumé

This book offers a comprehensive scientific overview of three promising non-conventional resources for broiler nutrition: faba beans, triticale, and bentonite. It examines their origins, agronomic characteristics, chemical composition, nutritional value, antinutritional factors, processing methods, and practical applications in poultry feeding. Particular attention is given to their effects on growth performance, feed efficiency, meat quality, gut health, litter conditions, and detoxification. By bringing together dispersed scientific knowledge, the book highlights how these locally available resources can help reduce dependence on imported maize and soybean meal, lower feeding costs, and support more sustainable poultry production. It is intended for researchers, veterinarians, animal nutritionists, agricultural engineers, students, and poultry professionals seeking a reliable reference on alternative feed ingredients.
