“…After deduplication and screening for inclusion criteria, 41 studies [2,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51] and 174 trials were selected for the MA (Appendix A). Insects mostly represented were black soldier fly larvae (29.89%), mealworms (20.11%), maggots (14.37%), grasshoppers (12.64%), and others (22.99%), such as crickets, silkworms, or locusts.…”

We investigated and summarized results from studies evaluating the effects of feeding poultry with insects on their growth performances. After a systematic review of studies published since 2000, two independent reviewers assessed the eligibility of each one based on predefined inclusion criteria. We extracted information on the study design, insects, avian species, and growth performances, i.e., average daily gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio. Next, we estimated pooled differences between performances of poultry fed a diet with vs. without insects through random-effects meta-analysis models. Additionally, these models evaluated the effects of potential sources of heterogeneity across studies. Of the 75 studies reviewed, 41 met the inclusion criteria and included 174 trials. With respect to diets without insects, pooled differences in growth performances were statistically not different from the null, but heterogeneity was marked across studies. Average daily gain decreased with increasing inclusion rates of insects, going below the null for rates of 10% and more. Grasshoppers were negatively associated with the average daily gain and positively associated with feed intake. The country of publication was another source of heterogeneity across publications. Overall, our results show insects should substitute only partially conventional protein sources and not be grasshoppers to guarantee the appropriate growth of birds.

“…The inclusion of GHM into the diet of chickens has enhanced feed conversion and protein digestibility. Adding GHM to the diet did not change the meat’s physical properties, but the sensory properties appear to improve with vision [ 30 , 31 ]. On the other hand, the following is an alternative to eating a fish meal with grasshoppers at rates of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 of in the broiler diet during the early and growing period.…”

Nutritional composition of various insects and potential uses as alternative protein sources in animal diets

The aim of the present investigation is to determine the nutritional composition of various insects and their potential uses as alternative protein sources in animal diets. The aim of the feeding industry is to develop a production system that uses accessible resources, such as feed resources, and to addressconcentrate on their potential impacts on production yield and nutritional quality.Invertebrate insects, such as black soldier flies, grasshopper mealworms, housefly larvae, and crickets, have been naturally as human food and as nonruminants and aqua culture while for ruminants are of limitations. Insects can be mass-produced, participating in a circular economy that minimizes or eliminates food-and feed-waste through bioconversion. Although the model for formula-scale production of insects as feed for domestic animals has been explored for a number of years, significant production and transformation of conventional protein resources remains to be deeply investigated. This review will focus on the nutritional composition of various insects and their potential uses as alternative protein sources, as well as their roles for potential use to promote and support sustainable animal production. Furthermore, nutritional compositions, such as high protein, lauric acid omega 6, and omega 3, and bioactive compounds, such as chitin, are of great potential use for animal feeding.

“…Sementara itu, T. molitor dilaporkan dapat menggantikan 100% bungkil kedelai dengan tingkat penggunaan T. molitor sebesar 29,65% dalam ransum ayam pedaging tanpa mengurangi kinerja pertumbuhan dan efisiensi penggunaan pakan (Bovera et al 2016). Sebaliknya, terdapat laporan berbeda, dimana dilaporkan bahwa penggunaan insekta sebagai pengganti tepung ikan atau bungkil kedelai dalam ransum ayam pedaging, mengakibatkan penurunan kinerja pertumbuhan dan efisiensi penggunaan pakan, seperti yang dilaporkan oleh Brah et al (2018), yang melaporkan bahwa penggunaan Ornithacris cavroisi belum dapat menggantikan posisi tepung ikan (25-100%), karena menyebabkan penurunan kinerja pertumbuhan dan efisiensi penggunaan pakan pada ayam pedaging. Hal tersebut terjadi akibat tidak dilakukannya proses pemisahan kitin.…”

<p>Insect meal is an unconventional feedstuff and is expected to be an alternative protein source in broiler diet in the future, as an impact of high price and a limited supply of a fish meal. The objective of this paper is to describe the potency of insects as a feedstuff in broiler diet. Some types of insects, i.e., bees, flies, crickets, grasshoppers, termites, ants, and cockroaches have the potential to be a feedstuff protein source. Several studies reported that insect has high protein content (10.3-76.2%). The use of insects as feedstuffs in broiler diet is constrained by several limiting factors, i.e. the presence of chitin, high crude fat content, and the presence of contaminants. Processing insects before being used as feedstuffs is necessary. Separation of chitin and crude fat content are highly recommended before using insect as protein source feedstuff in broiler diet. The use of insects in a broiler diet ranges from 4 to 29.65% depending on the type of insect, life phase of insect and the type of processing. Research and development to increase insect utilization in broiler diet are still needed.</p>
