“…There are some reports concerning maximal inclusion level of SM in chicken diets, and most of them found that the level ranged from 4% to 15% (Islam et al, 1994;Fanimo et al, 1996;Gernat, 2001;Khempaka et al, 2006a;Khempaka et al, 2011). Interestingly, Rosenfeld et al (1997) showed that as high as 32% of SM could be included, but this looks to be an unusual case.…”

“…In this connection, we measured nutritional values and in vitro digestibilities of different SM, such as heads and hulls of white leg (Litopenaeus vannamei) (WL), black tiger (Penaeus monodon) (BT) and Argentine red (Pleoticus muelleri), and suggested that heads of WL were among the most nutritious source in poultry diets and heads of BT were among the second most nutritious (Rahman and Koh, 2014). Considering the practical use of these SM as a poultry feed ingredient, in vivo data, such as growth performance and feed efficiency, should be needed, but information about them is quite limited (Islam et al, 1994;Oduguwa et al, 2004;Khempaka et al, 2006a;Khempaka et al, 2011).…”

The present study was conducted to measure the growth performance in growing broilers given shrimp meal (SM) made of heads of black tiger (Penaeus monodon) (BT) and white leg (Litopenaeus vannamei) (WL) shrimps. Forty-two male broiler chicks (8 days old, Ross 308) were randomly divided into 7 dietary groups (control, 5% BT, 10% BT, 15% BT, 5% WL, 10% WL and 15% WL) having similar body weight (6 birds per diet). Metabolisable energy and CP were adjusted to about 3, 180 kcal/kg and about 235 g/kg, respectively, and other nutrients were formulated to meet or slightly exceed the requirements. Diet and water were provided ad libitum during the experimental period (8 to 21 days old). The results revealed that body weight gain decreased in BT groups with increasing level of SM (P＜0.05), and feed intake decreased slightly with increasing level of SM in diets. As the result, feed conversion ratio also deteriorated with increasing level of SM. Similar trend was observed in WL groups, but the adverse effects of SM were milder comparing with BT groups. Nitrogen retention in both BT and WL groups tended to decrease with increasing level of SM. Chitin digestibilities in WL groups were greater than the corresponding values in BT groups. In conclusion, it is suggested that WL heads can be more nutritious SM for broiler diets than BT heads.

“…In fish fed TM25 diet, VSI was not different from that of TM0, but the intestinal length was higher. This effect could be ascribed to the prebiotic effects of chitin that can increase the production of butyric volatile fatty acid in caeca (Khempaka et al, 2011;Bovera et al, 2016). Butyric acid is considered the prime enterocytes energy source (Bovera et al, 2010) and it is also necessary for the suitable development of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (Mroz, 2005).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of Tenebrio molitor larvae meal in practical diets for gilthead sea bream on growth performance, nutrients digestibility, somatic and marketable indexes. Two separate trials were carried out: in the first a total of 153 gilthead sea bream (105.2 ± 0.17 g average initial body weight) were randomly allocated in 9 fiberglass 220 liter tanks (17 fish per tank) in an indoor water recirculating system. The fish were fed three isoenergetic and isoproteic diets formulated to contain increasing levels of TM meal inclusion and precisely: a control diet (TM0), in which fish meal was the main protein source; TM25 and TM50 diets, in which 25% and 50% of Tenebrio molitor larvae meal was added to the diet, respectively. These inclusion rates corresponded to 30% and 60% of inclusion on protein bases and 35% and 71% of fish meal substitution on protein bases for TM25 and TM50 diets, respectively. Each diet was randomly assigned to 3 tanks and the trial lasted 163 days. In the second trial the apparent digestibility coefficients of the 3 diets were measured on 72 fish randomly distributed to 3 digestibility tank-units (24 fish per unit, average body weight: 86.97±2.3 g) using an indirect method (acid insoluble ash).The group fed TM25 showed a higher (P < 0.05) final weight, specific growth rate, weight gain %, protein efficiency ratio, and a lower feed conversion ratio compared to the other 2 groups. The estimated apparent digestibility coefficients of crude protein and ether extract of the diets were lower (P < 0.01) in TM50 than in the other 2 groups. No significant differences have been found between TM0 and Tenebrio molitor larvae meal groups in morphometric and commodity-related characteristics, except for dressed yield and viscerosomatic index (VSI), that resulted the lowest and the highest, respectively, in TM50. The skin colour resulted to be affected by dietary inclusion of insect meal, especially at 50% of inclusion. The general evaluation of the results demonstrates that Tenebrio molitor larvae meal can replace fish meal up to 25% of inclusion in the diet for Sparus aurata without negative effects on weight gain, crude protein and ether extract digestibility, marketable indexes after 163 days feeding. On the contrary, when Tenebrio molitor larvae meal was included at 50%, nutrient digestibility, dressed yield, VSI and skin colour were penalized.

“…Black soldier fly larvae are notably rich in key nutrients such as CP with a high biological value, fat and minerals (Makkar et al, 2014), thus our positive findings were expected. In addition, chitin which is a polysaccharide constituting insects and crustaceans exoskeleton, was reported to act as prebiotic by improving the immune response of birds (Bovera et al, 2015) and by increasing the caecal production of butyric acid (Khempaka et al, 2011), which is considered the prime energy source for enterocytes. The latter would result in an enhanced intestinal blood flow through the intestine, thus ameliorating tissue oxygenation and nutrient transport and absorption (Mahdavi and Torki, 2009).…”

In order to expand with validated scientific data the limited knowledge regarding the potential application of insects as innovative feed ingredients for poultry, the present study tested a partial substitution of soya bean meal and soya bean oil with defatted black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal (H) in the diet for growing broiler quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) on growth performance, mortality, nutrients apparent digestibility, microbiological composition of excreta, feed choice, carcass and meat traits. With this purpose, a total of 450 10-day-old birds were allocated to 15 cages (30 birds/cage) and received three dietary treatments: a Control diet (C) and two diets (H1 and H2) corresponding to 10% and 15% H inclusion levels, respectively (H substituted 28.4% soya bean oil and 16.1% soya bean meal for H1, and 100% soya bean oil and 24.8% soya bean meal for H2, respectively). At 28 days of age, quails were slaughtered, carcasses were weighed, breast muscles were then excised from 50 quails/treatment, weighed, and ultimate pH (pHu) and L*, a*, b* colour values were measured. Breast muscles were then cooked to assess cooking loss and meat toughness. For the digestibility trial, a total of 15 28-day-old quails were assigned to the three feeding groups. The excreta samples were subjected to chemical and microbiological analysis. The same 15 quails were then simultaneously provided with C and H2 diets for a 10-day feed choice trial. Productive performance, mortality and carcass traits were in line with commercial standards and similar in all experimental groups. With the exception of ether extract digestibility, which was lower in H1 group compared with C and H2 ( P = 0.0001), apparent digestibility of dry matter, CP, starch and energy did not differ among treatments. Microbial composition of excreta was also comparable among the three groups. Feed choice trial showed that quails did not express a preference toward C or H2 diets. Breast meat weight and yield did not differ among C, H1 and H2 quails. Differently, the inclusion of H meal reduced meat pHu compared with C. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that H. illucens larvae meal can partially replace conventional soya bean meal and soya bean oil in the diet for growing broiler quails, thus confirming to be a promising insect protein source for the feed industry. Further research to assess the impact of H meal on intestinal morphology as well as on meat quality and sensory profile would be of utmost importance.
