RESEARCH
Even though research and Biochar usage has gained considerable attention from the 19th century, its application for different purposes such as detoxification of animal feed is acknowledged to have been practiced back in ancient times among different global cultures (Gerlach and Schmidst, 2012).
Also in the mid 20th centuries (The 1940s), it has reportedly been applied in poultry feeding (Totusek and Beeson, 1953).
From the current literature, the benefits that can be obtained by animals are quite diverse which range from detoxification of animal feed, enhancing feed intake and digestion, promoting animal live weight gain as well as improving the quality and quantity of animal products such as milk, eggs and meat (Toth and Dou, 2016)
