Abstract:The growing human population, changing dietary habits and intensifying competition between food and feed production underline the urgent need to explore novel sustainable production chains. In the past, the poultry sector has gained popularity due to its superior environmental and economic benefits compared to other livestock production systems. Therefore, it is of special interest to focus on refinement and innovation along the value chain to further improve the sector’s sustainability. One major issue is the… Show more

An overview is given of the special issue on edible insects covering a number of aspects along the value change. The articles presented cover topics about producing insects both as food for humans and feed for animals, ranging from environmental impact, facility design, (left-over) substrates, the role of microbes, genetics, diseases, nutrition, to insect welfare. Possible health benefits of insects for humans and animals are discussed as well as the potential dangers in terms of allergies and chemical/biological contaminants. Regulatory frameworks are examined and assessed for remaining obstacles. The technologies dealing with the processing and extraction of proteins, lipids, and chitin were also reviewed. Consumers’ perception of insect-derived food products is discussed as well. A unique aspect of this special issue within the ‘Journal of Insects as Food and Feed’ is a first attempt to discuss the economics of the industry. The special issue concludes with a discussion of policy and challenges facing the sector.

The study aimed to determine the effect of daily body weight gain (PBBH) in mice given feed containing commercial feed mix maggot flour. The material used in the study was 60 mice that were not differentiated by gender. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with unidirectional pattern. The provision of maggot flour in commercial feed was divided into four types of treatment. Each treatment level received three replications, with each replication consisting of 5 mice. If there was an influence on the treatment, the Duncan Multiple Range Test was performed. The followings were the treatments used in the study: P0: 100% commercial feed without maggot flour, P1: commercial feed 95% + 5% maggot flour, P2: commercial feed 90% + 10% maggot flour, P3: commercial feed 85% + 15% maggot flour. The research lasted for approximately 30 days, starting from September 4 to October 6, 2020, at the Basic Laboratory of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Islamic University of Lamongan. The results showed a significant effect between treatments (P <0.05) and (P <0.01). The best treatment resulted in the increase of daily body weight gain (PBBH) was P1 (0.35 gr / head / day ± 0.10), P0 (0.29 gr / head / day ± 0.05), P3 (0.20 gr / head / day ± 0.08) , P2 (0.10 gr / head / day ± 0.05). This study concludes that the application of mixed maggot flour as feed to the growth of mice's body weight is the addition of 95% of commercial feed and 5% of maggot flour.
“…One of the major advantages of using edible insects is the possible health effects for humans (Stull, 2021) and animals (Gasco et al, 2021). Then, what is the effect of using insects as feed on the target animals: fish (Liland et al, 2021), poultry (Dörper et al, 2021), pigs (Veldkamp and Vernooij, 2021) and pets (Bosch and Swanson, 2021). Food safety deals with biological (Vandeweyer et al, 2021) and chemical (Meyer et al, 2021) contaminants.…”
In 2017, a book was published entitled 'Insects as food and feed: from production to consumption' (Van Huis and Tomberlin, 2017). However, the sector of insects as food and feed is developing so quickly that an update seems appropriate. There has been an exponential increase in publications dealing with the topic. For example, using the words 'edible insect' as key words in 'Web of Science' scored 421 hits during the last two years (2019 & 2020), an amount which equals the number recorded for the previous 20 years (1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018). We did consider publishing a new edition of the book, but concluded that the disadvantages outweighed the short-term results. We identified the following limitations: (1) it must be bought which limits its distribution; (2) the review process is less transparent and rigorous; and (3) the turnaround time for a book is much longer than for research articles. Thus, we felt that given the rate at which the industry is growing and diversifying, a second edition would possibly not be as up to date. In addition to the benefit of publishing up-to-date information quickly, we also concluded that the peer-review system would enhance its quality. Furthermore, publishing open access provides immediate engagement by parties globally in learning more about the industry or by enhancing their current facility. Fortunately, the authors and sponsors of such work were able to cover the open access costs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
