“…The results of in vivo studies confirmed the possibility of insect meal usage in pet nutrition. Lisenko et al. (2018) suggested the possibility of Nauphoeta cinerea , Gromphadorhina portentosa , and Zophobas morio larvae meal usage in beagle diets up to 15% without a negative effect on nutrient digestibility, fecal metabolites, or the excreta microbiota.…”

AbstractThe present study was carried out to evaluate the hematology, serum biochemistry, immune responses and oxidative damage of growing beagles fed a diet supplemented with housefly (Musca domestica) maggot meal (MM). Weaning beagles (initial body weight 2.69 ± 0.17 kg) were fed a control diet (0% MM) or experimental diet (5% MM) for 42 days. The results indicated that the diet supplemented with 5% MM had no significant effects on the hematology and serum biochemistry of growing beagles (P>0.05). Meanwhile, neither the serum concentrations of lysozyme and C-reactive protein nor the serum antibody responses to canine distemper virus and canine parvovirus were influenced by dietary MM supplementation (P >0.05). However, dogs in the experimental group had lower serum levels of malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl than those in the control group (P<0.05). These findings demonstrated that MM could be used as an alternative protein source in growing beagles without any adverse effects on hematology, serum biochemistry and immune responses. Furthermore, dietary MM could alleviate oxidative damage in growing beagles.

The world population is increasing swiftly and expected to reach 109 billion by 2100. As compared to population increment, food resources to feed a huge population are not increasing. Similarly, in the future country having enough food to feed its inhabitants will be considered more powerful. There are two main protein sources used by living beings which are from plant origin and animal origin. Furthermore, animal protein sources are more crucial for humans due to the presence of essential amino acids. It is a need of the hour to find alternative sources to fulfill the requirements. The insect protein source is one of them especially for animal feed leading to the usage of that protein being consumed by animals in human food. Especially pets food companies use hygiene meat of human consumption standards which can be replaced with an insect-based protein source. Insects are a rich source of proteins (40-60%), lipids (14-37%), energy, vitamins and minerals having variation with species (black soldier fly, mealworm, cricket and locust) and developmental stage of life (larva, pupa, nymph and adult one). Many trials have been conducted by using insect meal as an alternative protein source in pet’s food (dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, sugar gliders, birds, and ornamental fishes, which has been explained in this study. It can be concluded that insect-derived products can be used in pet food as an alternative source of protein to conventional protein sources (soybean meal, fish meal) with improved performance.
