Abstract: Insect larval meal is an increasingly common protein source in poultry systems. In this study, the effect of replacing soybean meal with Tenebrio molitor larval meal on the performance of slow-growing chickens was assessed. A total of 128 one-day-old chickens (Colorield) were randomly divided into a control group (C) (n = 64), fed with soybean meal, and an experimental group (TM) (n = 64), fed with T. molitor larvae meal. The chicks were slaughtered after 95 days. Three different isoenergetic and isoproteic di… Show more

“…The results obtained in this study revealed that the inclusion of a high percentage of insect meal in the diet of slow-growing chicks during their first month of life negatively affects their productive performance, contrary to what occurs from the second month onward. These results agree with those of Nieto et al (2022) in their work with Tenebrio molitor meal, but contrast with those found by Nakagaki et al (1987) , who showed no difference in the BWG of the birds caused by the substitution of soybean meal for cricket meal during the first 14 days of life.…”

“…Similarly, Wang et al (2005) argued that the use of cricket meal in isoproteic and isonergic poultry diets was more productive and beneficial at low inclusion levels. This result could be extrapolated to other insect species, as it is the case of Tenebrio molitor larval meal ( Biasato et al, 2017 , 2018 ; Nieto et al, 2022 ).…”
