“…The laying quails were divided into 2 experimental groups: the first group received the Control diet in mash form, whereas the second group received the Control diet, daily supplemented with live TM larvae (TM10: 10% of the expected daily feed intake, which was calculated based on data from previous trials ( Dalle Zotte et al, 2019 ; Singh et al, 2023 ) on laying quails of the same age). The 8-wk-old live TM larvae were provided by INEF - Insect Novel Ecologic Food (Via Fossetta, 23, 35017 Piombino Dese, Padova, Italy).…”
