“…However, the AA profiles of most insects tested in fish diets, which are presented in Fig. 1, show a good correlation with fish requirement values (Hasan, 2001;NRC, 2011;Alegbeleye et al, 2012), and, in some cases, even exceed these requirements (domesticated silkworms, Bombyx mori and yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor) (Hossain et al, 1997;Barker et al, 1998;Finke, 2002Finke, , 2007Longvah et al, 2011;Rumpold and Schluter, 2013;Yi et al, 2013;Barroso et al, 2014). Other species (one orthopterous species, the cricket, Acheta domesticus and 2 hymenopterous species, ants, Atta mexicana and honeybees, Apis mellifera) have also been included in Fig.…”

“…Compared with the AA profile recommended by FAO/WHO, the pupal protein was of high quality due to its high content of EAAs. Longvah et al (2011) reported that the AA scores of Eri pre pupae and pupae protein were 99 and 100 respectively, with leucine as the limiting AA in both cases. Net protein utilization of pre pupae and pupae was 41 as compared to 62 in casein.…”

“…The mineral analysis indicated high K content with a low Na/K ratio and low heavy metal content. Longvah et al (2011) reported that proximate composition of Eri silkworm pre pupae and pupae as a good source of CP (16 g %), EE (8 g %) and minerals on fresh basis. The high CP content in the defatted Eri silkworm meal (75%) with 44% total EAAs makes it an ideal candidate for preparing protein concentrate isolates with enhanced protein quality that can be used in poultry diets.…”

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

Purpose Food production is among the highest human environmental impacting activities. Agriculture itself accounts for 70-85 % of the water footprint and 30 % of world greenhouse gas emissions (2.5 times more than global transport). Food production's projected increase in 70 % by 2050 highlights the importance of environmental impacts connected with meat production. The production of various meat substitutes (plantbased, mycoprotein-based, dairy-based, and animal-based substitutes) aims to reduce the environmental impact caused by livestock. This article outlined the comparative analysis of meat substitutes' environmental performance in order to estimate the most promising options. Methods The study considered Bcradle-to-plate^meal life cycle with the application of ReCiPe and IMPACT 2002+ methods. Inventory was based on literature and field data. Functional unit (FU) was 1 kg of a ready-to-eat meal at a consumer. The study evaluated alternative FU (the equivalent of 3.75 MJ energy content of fried chicken lean meat and 0.3 kg of digested dry matter protein content) as a part of sensitivity analysis. Results and discussion Results showed the highest impacts for lab-grown meat and mycoprotein-based analogues (high demand for energy for medium cultivation), medium impacts for chicken (local feed), and dairy-based and gluten-based meat substitutes, and the lowest impact for insect-based and soy meal-based substitutes (by-products allocated). Alternative FU confirmed the worst performance of labgrown and mycoprotein-based analogues. The best performing products were insect-based and soy meal-based substitutes and chicken. The other substitutes had medium level impacts. The results were very sensitive to the changes of FU. Midpoint impact category results were the same order of magnitude as a previously published work, although wide ranges of possible results and system boundaries made the comparison with literature data not reliable. Conclusions and recommendationsThe results of the comparison were highly dependable on selected FU. Therefore, the proposed comparison with different integrative FU indicated the lowest impact of soy meal-based and insect-based substitutes (with given technology level development). Insectbased meat substitute has a potential to be more sustainable with the use of more advanced cultivation and processing techniques. The same is applicable to lab-grown meat and in a minor degree to gluten, dairy, and mycoprotein-based substitutes.
