It is known that the Brazilian poultry industry is currently in a high growth sector, with the largest portion of the cost of production from the feed components. Thus, it is increasingly common to search for alternative foods to replace some conventional foods, aiming to reduce spending. Therefore, the aim of this review is to gather information about the inclusion of alternative foods exist in semiarid northeast in the diet of birds, from the conclusions of scientific papers published in journals. It has been found that the inclusion of alternative foods in the diet of poultry can be a viable for rural breeders in substitution for conventional foods, corn and soybeans.
