“…In addition, the same authors found that the EAAs composition (g/16 gN) for the EW they analyzed as arg (2.83%), hist (1.47%), isoleu (2.04%), leu (4.11%), lys (6.35%), meth (5.30%), phy (6.26%), thr (4.43%) and val (4.43%). Istiqomah et al (2009) reported that proximate analysis of earthworm meal on DM basis (EWM; Powdering method of EW was done by using 3% formic acid addition) was found as 63.06% CP, 18.5% EE, 0.19% CF, 12.41% NFE and 5.81% ash. They also compared the EAAs profile of EW and EWM.…”

Insects are considered as a potential substitute for fishmeal (FM) and soybean meal (SBM) in feeding mixtures for poultry diets. The intent of this paper is to appraise the current work relating to the use of insects as alternative protein in poultry feeding and the potential of large production of insects for the poultry feed industry. Certainly insects have a mammoth prospective as a protein source and other active substances (i.e. polyunsaturated fatty acids, antimicrobial peptides) for poultry. On the basis of numerous studies, insects meal belonging to the orders Diptera (black soldier fly, housefly), Coleoptera (mealworms), Megadrilacea (earthworm), Lepidoptera (silkworm and cirina forda) and Orthoptera (grasshoppers, locust and crickets), may be fruitfully used as feed ingredient in poultry diets. Information regarding their nutritional composition and biological evaluation was collected and compared it to SBM and FM.ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Since Lawrence and Miller irst reported the protein content of earthworm in 1945, many nutritional evaluations of the earthworm have been published [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. From the literature, it can be concluded that earthworms contain high levels of protein and that this protein is rich in the amino acids, considered essential for food of domesticated animals and humans.…”

Earthworms have been a traditional medicine in China for at least 2300 years. Because of medicine food homology in China, people have been using earthworms as a food for several centuries. Earthworms are rich in protein and various amino acids; the protein content of earthworm meal was 54.6-59.4% on dry weight. Their protein content and amino acid composition are beter than those of ish meal, cow milk and soybean meal. The crude fat content of earthworm meal was 7.34%. Earthworm protein is easily hydrolyzed into free amino acids. The hydrolyzed body luids contain 9.34% protein and 78.73 mg of free amino acids per liter of raw luid and are rich in vitamins and minerals. By the fast development of molecular biological techniques, more Verm pharmaceuticals and functional components were isolated from earthworms. An antibacterial peptide and a functional earthworm powder were introduced in this paper. In short, based on its nutrient content and functional components, earthworms could be an excellent raw material source as homology of medicine and food for human use, especially as functional food in the future.

The research was performed to determine the nutritive value of raw earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) and dried earthworm powder, or earthworm meal (EM). In addition, the effects of a diet in which fi sh meal was substituted with EM or fresh earthworms on the health and productive performance of broilers were monitored. The experiment, which lasted 42 days, was conducted on one hundred Hybro G broilers divided into four equal groups. The control group was fed a standard feed, whereas, the fi rst and the second one were given diets in which 50% or 100% of fi sh meal had been substituted with EM. The third experimental group received no fi sh meal but was given fresh earthworms ad libitum. The results of chemical analyses showed that earthworm meal contained 41.42% proteins (in dry matter) and satisfactory amounts of amino acids. Microbiological examination and tests for heavy metals suggest that earthworm meal and fresh earthworms did not contain heavy metals and harmful bacteria. Therefore, these feeds may be considered suitable for chickens. In the experiment as a whole no statistically signifi cant difference (p>0.05) was observed in the productive performance between the experimental groups of broiler chickens. These results suggest that dehydrated earthworm meal can be an adequate substitute for fi sh meal in the broilers' feed.Key words: broilers, earthworm meal, nutrition, performance INTRODUCTIONOrganic waste processing with earthworms -vermicomposting -has become very popular lately. During this process, besides a high-quality organic fertilizer (humus), a great amount of earthworm biomass is obtained. Either fresh or dried, this can serve as an alternative source of high-quality proteins for non-ruminants (fattening poultry, Unauthenticated Download Date | 5/10/18 2:23 PM Acta Veterinaria-Beograd 2015, 65 (2), 271-286 272 pigs and fi sh) [1][2][3][4][5][6]. By means of extraction as much as 25 to 50% of their need in proteins can be satisfi ed with EM.The red earthworm, Lumbricus rubellus, contains more protein per unit of dry matter than soy bean or sunfl ower pellets, but less than fi sh meal [1,7], dehydrated housefl y larvae [8] and maggot meal [9]. The dominant essential amino acid in fresh earthworms was histidin and in earthworm meal isoleucine [10]. Among the non-essential amino acids the most common was glutamic acid both in fresh earthworms and earthworm meal.Due to their relatively high fat content compared to other feeds, red earthworms represent a rich source of energy if dry matter content is taken into consideration [4,7,11,12]. Research revealed that the lipid content in earthworms varies between 1% and 20% in dry matter and is of a composition similar to that of fi sh oil. More than 70 fatty acids can be extracted from earthworm meal [13]. Earthworms lipid fatty acid composition depends on their nutrition and season when they were collected.Fresh earthworms and EM are readily consumed by broilers [2,6,7]. Feeding experiments confi rmed that EM is a good source of protein for chickens [4...
