“…Fish and broiler dietary meal has been integrated with various levels of silkworm pupae without adverse effects on animal growth, performance, and survival parameters [12,13,14]. Silkworm pupae are recognized to be rich in proteins and their amino acid composition is comparable to that of fish meal [15,16].…”

The overexploitation of fishmeal and soy for the feedstuff industry has provided an opportunity to employ insects as an unconventional and more environmental friendly protein source. The evaluation of the nutritive properties of different insect species has consequently become a priority. The present study compares the pupal nutritive composition of two silkworm strains (White Cocoon Polyhybrid and Golden Yellow Cocoon Nistari) fed on two different rearing media (fresh mulberry leaves and a commercial artificial diet). Our results provide evidence that the composition of the feeding substrate strongly influences the fat and protein content of silkworm pupae. The two tested strains had higher fat and lower protein contents when fed with silkworm natural food (mulberry leaves) with respect to the commercial artificial diet. The analysis also showed that the n3/n6 ratio was affected almost exclusively by the feed substrate factor. On the contrary, the carotenoid content in pupae was specifically determined by the strain. The study identifies the interesting opportunity offered by silkworm pupae, which are usually a waste product of the silk-reeling process, to be used as alternative animal protein sources in a fully-closed circular production.

“…Similar to the findings of this study, no significant alterations were observed in haematocrit values in rainbow trout fed with graded levels of SWP included diets. Nevertheless, RBC and Hb values were decreased significantly with increasing levels of SWP, while MCH, MCV and WBC values were increased with increasing levels of SWP meal in the diets of rainbow trout (Shakoori et al, 2015). These changes may due to the presence of some unknown compounds in SWP and they were raising the immunity level or may inhibit the hematopoietic organs (Ijaiya & Eko, 2009).…”

“…Additionally, fish meal was substituted entirely with SP in the fish diet by Shakoori et al [ 79 ], with good results. The results showed that SP could stimulate the immune system in rainbow trout while inducing some anaemia-related symptoms.…”

Bombyx mori is an ideal lepidopteran species representative of many scientific studies, a model of studies for medicine and a significant insect from an ecological standpoint. This review was performed to summarize the fatty acids (FA) composition of silkworm pupae (SP) that are associated with other important compounds that could add value to SP, diversifying the ways of valorization. The proposal to complete plant-based feeds with insect-based feeds represents a viable option to beneficially impact human and animal health and the environment. The quality and quantity of fats consumed significantly impact the aetiology of certain diseases. The key compounds of fat named essential FA (EFA) substantially influence the prevention and treatment of several diseases through their nutraceutical functions. Due to its excellent profile in nutrients such as protein and fat, amino acids and fatty acids composition, SP has become an important alternative feed ingredient and source of EFA. SP is a by-product that was discarded in large quantities. Following the need to act to improve human health and reduce climate change impact, many researchers focused on studying SP applications in the medical and agricultural industries. Several authors noticed an improvement in the health markers by using SP. The feed cost for the animal was reduced with economic implications. Minimization of environmental impact was recorded. Few precautions were recommended regarding SP use, although they should not be ignored. The composition of SP and its potential for use in various industries provides us with persuasive arguments for continuing to develop the sericulture industry.
