“…After deduplication and screening for inclusion criteria, 41 studies [2,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51] and 174 trials were selected for the MA (Appendix A). Insects mostly represented were black soldier fly larvae (29.89%), mealworms (20.11%), maggots (14.37%), grasshoppers (12.64%), and others (22.99%), such as crickets, silkworms, or locusts.…”

We investigated and summarized results from studies evaluating the effects of feeding poultry with insects on their growth performances. After a systematic review of studies published since 2000, two independent reviewers assessed the eligibility of each one based on predefined inclusion criteria. We extracted information on the study design, insects, avian species, and growth performances, i.e., average daily gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio. Next, we estimated pooled differences between performances of poultry fed a diet with vs. without insects through random-effects meta-analysis models. Additionally, these models evaluated the effects of potential sources of heterogeneity across studies. Of the 75 studies reviewed, 41 met the inclusion criteria and included 174 trials. With respect to diets without insects, pooled differences in growth performances were statistically not different from the null, but heterogeneity was marked across studies. Average daily gain decreased with increasing inclusion rates of insects, going below the null for rates of 10% and more. Grasshoppers were negatively associated with the average daily gain and positively associated with feed intake. The country of publication was another source of heterogeneity across publications. Overall, our results show insects should substitute only partially conventional protein sources and not be grasshoppers to guarantee the appropriate growth of birds.

“…In one work, the incorporation of silkworm pupae meal into broiler diets at 5%, which replaced one-half of the fishmeal, significantly depressed growth rate and final body weight at 6 weeks old (Sudhakara Reddy et al, 1991). In all other studies reviewed, no differences in growth rate or egg production were observed, and some authors even suggest significantly better growth of broilers (Gawaad and Brune, 1979;Ocio et al, 1979;Dhaliwal et al, 1980;Joshi et al, 1980;Virk et al, 1980;Sujatha and Rao, 1981;Gado et al, 1982;Nakagaki et al, 1987;Chrappa et al, 1990;Chrappa et al, 1990;Kumar et al, 1992;Atteh and Ologbenla, 1993;Despins and Axtell, 1995;Pro M. et al, 1999;Hwangbo et al, 2009;Aigbodion et al, 2012;Sun et al, 2012;Jadalla et al, 2014;Bovera et al, 2015). Similar results were observed for malabsorption risk.…”

In recent years, researchers have shifted their focus from the possible use of edible insects in animal feed to their use as possible nutrient sources for humans. The results suggest that, if properly treated and preserved, products derived from insects are safe and efficient sources of nutrients for animals. Further studies are needed to evaluate the possible effects of prolonged insect consumption on human health.

“…En la práctica, generalmente no hay aves que se alimenten solo de materiales vegetales, debido a que la mayoría de esas aves necesitan proteínas, por lo que se las consideró entomófagas y por lo tanto el consumo y producción de insectos es de mucho beneficio (Vidotto-Magnoni & Carvalho, 2009). Para mostrar la importancia que han logrado los insectos en la nutrición de las aves, se presentan algunos estudios y sus resultados: Aigbodion et al (2012), realizaron un experimento con pollos de engorde donde se utilizaron cucarachas americanas (Periplaneta americana L.) en las dietas, con el objetivo de evaluar el crecimiento de los pollos a las ocho semanas de edad. Por lo tanto, los investigadores observaron que pollos alimentados con las dietas que incluían la harina del insecto presentaron los mejores resultados en cuanto a desempeño en comparación al tratamiento control que fue básicamente una dieta con ingredientes convencionales.…”

La producción de insectos como fuente de nutrientes representa una alternativa de producción sostenible, atrayente y adecuada para satisfacer la creciente demanda de alimentos, especialmente para la nutrición animal. Estrategia nutricional que puede ser considerada principalmente por la industria alimentaria, ya que en comparación con otros alimentos de uso común como las harinas de origen animal y la harina de soja, puede aportar cantidades significativas de proteínas, lípidos, minerales, entre otros nutrientes. Estos insectos pueden ser alimentados con residuos agrícolas y desechos orgánicos, siendo esta una de las principales ventajas que refuerzan el uso de este ingrediente en la alimentación animal. Además, disminuyen costos de producción e intervienen en el desenvolvimiento de la microbiota benéfica, reducen la competencia por recursos alimenticios y actúan como inmunomoduladores. Actualmente, algunos estudios resaltan el uso de diversas harinas de insectos con la inclusión o sustitución total de las fuentes convencionales de proteína. Un ingrediente que ofrece resultados significativos de interés zootécnico, generando un impacto positivo en el sistema productivo, por lo cual merece destacarse. El objetivo de esta revisión de literatura es resaltar el uso de insectos en la nutrición animal, principalmente en la avicultura, como una alternativa económicamente viable para el productor en términos de reducción de costos sin afectar el desempeño productivo de los animales. En este sentido, destacar esta temática como una nueva perspectiva en la industria de la alimentación animal y el sector pecuario.
