The animal protein intake of an average individual in most African and Pacific countries falls between 8-15 g per day [9], which is far below the 36 grams per day; which is about 55.3% of the 65 grams per day of protein recommended by FAO [6, 2]
This could partly be as a result of the high cost of finished feeds due to increase in the price of conventional feed ingredients, endemic or pandemic diseases such as Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) and consequent rise in the cost of animal protein beyond the purchasing power of most people [10]
