Abstract: Insects are currently being considered as a novel protein source for animal feeds, because they contain a large amount of protein. The larvae of Tenebrio molitor (TM) have been shown to be an acceptable protein source for broiler chickens in terms of growth performance, but till now, no data on histological or intestinal morphometric features have been reported. This study has had the aim of evaluating the effects of dietary TM inclusion on the performance, welfare, intestinal morphology and histological featu… Show more

“…Results on chicken broilers were consistent with our findings: when free-range chicken fed either a control diet or a diet in which gluten meal was replaced with T. molitor meal, the same average daily feed intake was observed (Biasato et al, 2016). Similar results were found when a T. molitor meal replaced soya bean meal with hulls in the diet for broiler chickens (Bovera et al, 2015).…”

“…It is already raised on an industrial scale, but there are few data in literature on its use in animal feeding. Tenebrio molitor larvae meal (TM) has been used in broiler De Marco et al, 2015;Biasato et al, 2016) and laying hens (Giannone, 2003;Wang et al, 2005). In fish, TM was used in African catfish (Ng et al, 2001), rainbow trout , and European sea bass , black bullhead (Roncarati et al, 2015) with encouraging results.…”

“…Moreover, no limitations are reported for the use of insect oil in animal feeds. Among insect species, black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), and common housefly (Musca domestica) are the most evaluated and results on their inclusion on animal feed are promising (Barroso et al 2014;Makkar et al 2014;Belforti et al 2015;Veldkamp and Bosch 2015;Biasato et al 2016;Gasco et al 2016;Schiavone et al 2017;Piccolo et al 2017;Renna et al submitted). EU regulation authorises among other insect species, both H. illucens and T. molitor.…”

“…defatting procedures), the feed formulation (level of IM inclusion and conventional protein substitution), and, of course, the animal age and species. Generally speaking, dietary inclusion up to 35% to 40% seems feasible in freshwater species, without worsening the performance parameters, while in marine species, 25% inclusion results to be the maximum acceptable amount especially in fingerlings (Gasco et al 2016;Piccolo et al 2017). As far as poultry is concerned, inclusion levels of up to 15% lead to promising results.…”
