“…Responses in terms of animal weight increase and/or feed use efficiency vary based on the animal species and physiological stage, as well as the length of the feeding trial, the type of FW, and the substitution rate [ 125 ]. A number of studies found no difference when comparing diets with substitution with diets without substitution [ 126 , 127 , 128 ]. On the other hand, other studies found that diets with substitution caused poultry [ 129 ] and pigs [ 130 ] to gain less weight.…”

The growing population and healthy food demands have led to a rise in food waste generation, causing severe environmental and economic impacts. However, food waste (FW) can be converted into sustainable animal feed, reducing waste disposal and providing an alternative protein source for animals. The utilization of FW as animal feed presents a solution that not only tackles challenges pertaining to FW management and food security but also lessens the demand for the development of traditional feed, which is an endeavour that is both resource and environmentally intensive in nature. Moreover, this approach can also contribute to the circular economy by creating a closed-loop system that reduces the use of natural resources and minimizes environmental pollution. Therefore, this review discusses the characteristics and types of FW, as well as advanced treatment methods that can be used to recycle FW into high-quality animal feed and its limitations, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of using FW as animal feed. Finally, the review concludes that utilization of FW as animal feed can provide a sustainable solution for FW management, food security, preserving resources, reducing environmental impacts, and contributing to the circular bioeconomy.

“…G. bimaculatus is a frequently cultured (van Huis 2020) edible cricket species (Hanan et al 2022;Hwang et al 2019) with a high nutrient value (Ngonga et al 2020). Notably, the applicable species has been frequently researched to nd the replacement potential of the shmeal in aquafeeds with encouraging results (Fan et al 2023; Perera and Bhujel 2022; Peh et al 2021;). However, the scope of the above studies has been limited to a few sh species.…”

Insect meal has been identified as one of the cutting-edge alternatives to substitute fishmeal (FM) in aquafeeds. However, the potential of FM replacing with field cricket meal (FCM) related to Calta catla fry stage has yet to be researched. Therefore, an eight-week experiment was designed to evaluate the performance of C. catla fry (0.22 ± 0.04 g/fish). The protein content of the FM of the control feed (0FCM) was replaced with 35% (35FCM), 70% (70FCM), and 100% (100FCM) of FCM. All the fish were hand-fed by respective research diets 5% of the body weight twice daily. Results showed that FCM could replace wild-caught fishmeal (67.1 % crude protein) without adversely affecting growth performance, carcass composition, liver functions, and disease tolerance. Though in vivo protein digestibility significantly decreased (P<0.05) when the FCM percentage increased in the feed, it did not affect the performance of the fish. Therefore, FCM could be used to prepare fish-free feed in the C. catla fry stage. However, optimum technical know-how should be identified to certify the accessible and economically viable mass-scale production of FCM.
