Mass Production of Mushroom for Animal Feed

Abstract

Mushrooms are now grown in small numbers by renowned individuals. Formerly, the harvest was from forests, but now farmers are cultivating mushrooms for their nourishment. The Identification and production of mushrooms are necessary for the growth of spawn, substratum, and organic matter. Animal protein is not as easily synthesized as the high-quality proteins found in mushrooms. Besides, mushrooms can be grown on numerous organic wastes. Following the mushroom harvest, spent substratum residue can be utilized as animal feed. Animal farms primarily use feed which is a key for its high price, but the use of mushroom can help reduce the environmental impact by using mushrooms instead. This review provides a view on the mass production of mushrooms for animal feeds, as it highlights the potential benefits of using their superior substratum for food manufacturing.
