Abstract

Biochar is a kind of carbon-rich substance which is produced by using waste biomass of agro forestry as a primary material pyrolyzed under the condition of hypoxia. Recently, extensive concerns have been given on the functions of improving the health of intestinal tract, promoting growth performance, improving efficacy of diet utilization, reducing pollution of feces in livestock production with the global strengthening research on biochar. This paper reviewed the latest research findings on the application in livestock production.
