Abstrakt: The cost of feed is the major factor in farm animal framing. The cost of feed and environmental damage may be decreased by using agro-industrial waste as an alternative feed ingredient. Reducing the usage of antibiotics in animal production is something that is in demand. As a result, there is now more interest in adopting nutraceuticals as an option for healing and illness prevention. The polysaccharides of filamentous fungus and yeast, such as β-glucans, may stimulate the animal immune system and increase ruminants' efficiency in using nutrients. The β-glucans and vitamin D can be naturally incorporated into the animal's diet by mushrooms. Mushroom cultivation substrate can be used as an animal feed. Compost made from mushroom waste has a high mycelium content, which increases the antioxidant capacity and may benefit animal health. Mushroom compost waste has been advised because it increased adipolysis, had a comparable antioxidant capacity and improved feed conversion rate. Supplementing the diet with vitamin D2-enriched mushroom powder increased food transporter gene expression, overall volatile fatty acid concentrations, gastrointestinal morphology and anti-inflammatory cytokine expression while downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression.
