“…Research of Mahamba (2018) shows that the supplementary feeding of vermi or earthworms has a potential to increase egg production in village chicken and the diet with 12% CP (earthworm + maize meal) shows the best results for experiment compared to the other diets used. Study conducted by Köse & Öztürk (2017) shows that earthworms have nutrient contents that are close to those of the fish meal and more valuable than those of soybean meal; and for this reason, they may be used as a potential alternative for fish meal and soybean meal. Moreover, it has been reported that the protein content of vermi meal is close to that of Peru fishmeal and higher than that of Chinese fish meal, hen egg, and soybean meal including essential amino acids, especially lysine which is not found in the other feed stuffs, and it has been found that vermi meal contains a large amount of proteins and essential amino acids (Dedeke et al 2013).…”

This study was conducted to determine the growth performance and profitability of broilers chicken with vermi meal supplementation under a total confinement management system. A total of 60 broiler chickens were randomly distributed to four dietary treatments: T1= commercial feed (CF), T2= CF+2% vermi meal (VM), T3= CF+3% VM, T4= CF+5% VM inclusion in a completely randomized design. Feed conversion ratio was not significantly influenced by VM supplementation. However, the highest feed intake was recorded in broilers fed CF supplemented with 2% VM (T2) while control broilers fed only CF (T1) had the lowest feed consumption. Broiler chickens fed CF supplemented with 2% VM (T2) were recorded with the highest values of final body weight and weight gain compared to T1 group and T4 group, respectively. However, broiler in T2 group had similar values of body weights and weight gains compared to T3. Consequently, 2% level of VM had an optimum result in final weight, weight gain, and feed consumption, while comparable to the other treatments in water consumption, feed conversion ratio, dressing percentage, and carcass weight. Cost and return analysis of the dietary treatments with VM showed a negative effect, since the higher concentration of VM supplementation had the higher cost in production, due to the expensive price of imported vermin or earthworm meal.

“…These are then harvested, dried, milled and included in fish and poultry feed rations as protein source (Sogbesan et al, 2007). In nature, insects are a source of food for various poultry birds like local chicken, ducks and turkeys raised under free range system (Öztürk and Köse., 2017). Current studies indicate that, it is scientifically feasible to grow insects and earthworms on large scale (Onsongo et al, 2018; Zegeye, 2020).…”

“…Current studies indicate that, it is scientifically feasible to grow insects and earthworms on large scale (Onsongo et al, 2018; Zegeye, 2020). Many researchers have concluded that insects' protein content is much higher than that of conventional fish and soy-based feed (Istiqomah et al, 2017;Khan, S., Naz, S., Sultan, A., Alhidary, L. and Abdelrahman, 2016;Öztürk & Köse, 2017). The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) also commends insects as an alternative source of protein in livestock feed (Huis et al, 2013).…”

This paper reviews the current state of bio-processing of market waste to poultry feed in Uganda. A focus was put on crop wastes since previous studies have indicated that, they contribute the biggest percentage (about 90%) of the total organic waste generated in markets. These wastes majorly comprise of fruits and vegetables like mangoes, pineapples, jackfruit, watermelon, cabbage among others. They are usually in form of residual stalks, leaves, peels, and damaged/rotten crops. Crop wastes are rich in various bioactive and nutraceutical compounds, like carotenoids, polyphenols and dietary fiber. The wastes are a major worthwhile raw material and present feasible solutions to the problems of poultry feed scarcity and high costs associated with the conventional feed stuffs. This transformation can be achieved by developing appropriate technologies for valorization of wastes by nutrient enrichment. In concern to this, solid state fermentation (SSF) and rearing insects and earthworm using crop wastes are the promising novel technologies. High value added products/feeds can be produced through microbial fermentation of crop wastes. Insect protein can also be produced to replace the expensive silver fish and soybean protein sources. The review indicated that, the technologies have not been fully cherished within the country’s poultry feed industry. All the attempts and work done are still under research and pilot scale level. However, the on-going endeavors are continued widely to better conversion technologies in order to produce products that are safe for poultry feeding. Lastly, the limitations and strategies for processing poultry feed from market waste are reviewed.

“…Due to the high market price of protein sources, and particularly the seasonal variations in price, there is increasing interest in alternative protein sources for broiler chickens. An important novel source is EW (Kose and Ozturk 2017). According to Veldkamp et al (2012) and Khan et al (2016) EW may provide a viable protein source for poultry feed since it can be produced on a commercial scale and have good nutritional composition, up to 73% crude protein (Rumpold and Schl€ uter 2013), and higher levels of essential amino acids (Parolini et al 2020).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of earthworm meal (EW) and vermi-humus (VH) in broiler diets. A total of 225 day-old male broilers were divided into 5 treatment groups with 3 repetitions of 3 birds each. The treatment groups were: T1control (no EW or VH; T2 À 1.0% EW and 0% VH; T3 À 1.0% EW and 1.0% VH; T4 À 1.0% EW and 1.5% VH; and T5: 1.0% EW and 2.0% VH. The birds received (EW) and (VH) for 14 d, and after this period, they received the common diet. The birds were reared for 42 d and, at 42 d, one representative broiler chicken per pen, close to the average body weight, was selected for blood sampling using a sterile needle and heparinised vacuum tube. Performance data, blood results, immunity, ileum morphology and microbiota, the relative weight of carcass components and gastrointestinal organs, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and breast and thigh meat quality were evaluated. EW and VH had a positive effect on the immune response of broilers, as well as producing a reduction in the aerobic bacteria in the birds' intestines. HIGHLIGHTSProtein is a limiting factor for broiler performance, carcass yield, and meat quality; Poultry industry is searching for new protein sources which can be used on broiler diets; Insects meal are good protein sources in broiler nutrition and can be used on diets without compromising its performance.
