Nutrient digestibility and availability of mealworms (Tenebrio molitor), poultry by-product meal, and poultry viscera in female mink (Neogale vison) diets: insights on the nitrogen-to-protein conversion factor

Stephanie A. Collins

Abstract: This study measured the digestibility of crude protein, crude fat, and dry matter in three protein sources: poultry by-product meal (PBPM), poultry viscera, and crushed mealworms using diatomaceous earth as an indicator. A control diet was made, and test diets were mixed in a 70:30 control diet:test ingredient ratio. Forty-four female mink housed in individual cages were fed experimental diets for 5 days, and fecal samples were collected and analyzed for nutrient residues compared to the diet composition to de… Show more
