Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the sixth-largest food crop in the world, nearly 700 million people in the world tropical regions take it as the primary food source, and it is also an important raw material for the production of starch, modified starch, fuel ethanol and other chemical products and feed in China. It plays an important role in eradicating hunger, poverty alleviation and rural revitalization in tropical areas. Cassava root is rich in starch, which can provide energy for livestock and poultry growth. Cassava stems and leaves are rich in protein, cellulose and vitamins and other nutrients, thereby becoming a high-quality protein feed resource. Energy value of cassava is similar to that of corn, thus boasting great development potential as the feed. In recent years, it has achieved good results in the breeding of livestock and poultry such as pigs, sheep and chickens. Therefore, it is of great significance of using cassava as energy feed and replacing corn and other raw materials to mitigating competition for food between human beings and livestock and improve the economic benefits of breeding. This article comprehensively analyzed the nutritional value of cassava and the research progress of its feed application, and put forward specific suggestions for further research and utilization to provide reference for the development of cassava feed industry in the future.
