Abstract

Fenugreek is an annual leguminous herb with the main components of galactomannan, saponin, flavonoids, trigonelline and 4-hydroxyisoleucine and rich in protein and vitamins. Fenugreek has many biological functions such as improve growth performance, hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory and enhance immunity. This article mainly reviewed the application progress of fenugreek and introduced the biological function of fenugreek and its application in livestock and poultry production.
