Abstract

The expansion of Brazilian livestock production and the growing search for more sustainable food have driven research on the use of by-products as an input in animal nutrition. This work addresses the application of açaí (Euterpe oleracea) seeds in the formulation of feeds, emphasizing aspects of sustainability and economic viability. A review of scientific articles was carried out in databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, and Capes Journals, considering publications from 2015 to 2025. The nutritional composition of the seeds was verified, highlighting fibers, tannins, proteins and fatty acids, in addition to the positive impacts on health and zootechnical performance in different animal species. The results point to a promising alternative in the reuse of this abundant waste in the Amazon Region, contributing to cost reduction and environmental preservation.
