“…These values are higher than that found by Silva, which was 8.0%. The fibre contents obtained in this study were low, with 0.14% and 0.24% in the moringa from Cubal and Sumbe, respectively, in comparison to the studies by Moyo et al [21], which presented a fibre content of 11.4% in moringa, and Almeida et al [14], whose findings indicated the existence of 14.4% crude fibre in this plant, that is considered an excellent source for obtaining this nutrient. With regard to vitamin C, the findings point to 0.22% in Cubal moringa and 0% in Sumbe's, whereas data about the moisture content of moringa leaf powder of both locations was similar, having presented values estimated in 5.9% and 6%, respectively.…”

“…Another extraordinary finding in the study is related to the great variability in fat content, whose values indicated 5% in the moringa from Sumbe and 10.54% in that from Cubal, both representing rich amounts of fat. A study by Marinelli [15] conducted with moringa leaves flour resulted in the obtention of 4.49% fat content, a low value when compared to this study, while studies by Moyo et al [21] revealed 6.50% fat content which is similar to that found in the moringa from Sumbe and lower than that from Cubal. Both Sumbe and Cubal moringa have high ash content, since 11.54% were found in the sample from Sumbe and 13.8% from Cubal, what demonstrates the amount of minerals contained in these leaves.…”

With the aim of determining some bromatological parameters of moringa from two different locations and at the same period of the year, fresh leaves were collected and air-dried, and then ground to be converted into powder. This was passed through a sieve, packaged and sent to the Central Laboratory for Food and Agriculture in Luanda in order to determine the content of crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract and vitamin C. The evaluation of dry matter, moisture, ashes and carbohydrates was carried out at the Centre for Research and Agro-Food Technology of the Faculty of Veterinary. Both samples showed promising and varied bromatological contents, having the moringa from Cubal presented the following values: crude protein-22.33%, crude fibre-0.14%, ether extract-10.54% and carbohydrate 47.43%, while in the moringa from Sumbe the crude protein was 24.72%, crude fibre 0.24%, ether extract 5% and carbohydrate 52.65%.

“…Several insect species have been evaluated for their potential as feed for domesticated animals, including black soldier fly larva, mealworm, grasshopper, locust, house fly maggot, silkworm, and cricket [5]. Worms are readily available, easily accessible, and widely accepted as a source of high-quality protein (55%) in the form of food or feed [7]. Marareni and Mnisi [8] reported that mopane worm (Imbrasia belina) showed potential to replace soybean meal in Jumbo quail feed without compromising their performance and health status.…”

The aim of this work was to conduct the effects of cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) meal (CM) as a protein supplement on in vitro gas production, rumen fermentation, and methane (CH4) mitigation. Dietary treatments were randomly assigned using a completely randomized design (CRD) with a 2 × 5 factorial arrangement. The first factor was two ratios of roughage to concentrate (R:C at 60:40 and 40:60), and the second factor was the level of CM to replace soybean meal (SBM) in a concentrate ratio at 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100, respectively. It was found that in vitro DM degradability and the concentration of propionic (C3) were significantly increased (p < 0.05), while the potential extent of gas production (a + b), acetate (C2), acetate and propionate (C2:C3) ratio, and protozoal population were reduced (p < 0.05) by lowering the R:C ratio and the replacement of SBM by CM. In addition, rumen CH4 production was mitigated (p < 0.05) with increasing levels of CM for SBM. In this study, CM has the potential to improve rumen fermentation by enhancing C3 concentration and DM degradability, reduced methane production, and C2:C3 ratio. The effects were more pronounced (p < 0.05) at low levels of roughage.

“…Mopane worm ( Imbrasia belina ) is a caterpillar of mopane month ( Lepidoptera ) that grows on mopane trees ( Colophospermum mopane ) in Southern Africa ( Gondo, Frost, Kozanayi, Stack, & Mushongahand, 2010 ). This worm is locally available, accessible and acceptable as source of food and feed ( Moyo, Masika, & Muchenje, 2019 ), and can be used as a source of high-quality protein (55%) ( Moreki, Tiroesele, & Chiripasi, 2012 ). Mopane worm (MW) is a rich source of carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and minerals ( Potgieter, Makhado, & Potgieter, 2012 ; Chiripasi, Moreki, Nsoso, & Letso, 2013 ; Kwiri et al., 2014 ).…”

Alternative protein sources such as mopane worm ( Imbrasia belina ) meal (MWM) are essential for sustainable poultry production. To date, no studies have attempted to investigate the effect of replacing soybean products with MWM in Jumbo quail diets. Thus, this study was designed to investigate the optimum inclusion level of MWM in place of soybean products on feed intake, physiological and meat quality responses of Jumbo quails. A total of 384 two-week-old mixed-gender quails (71.2 ± 5.40 g live-weight) were allotted to four isoproteic and isocaloric dietary treatments formulated by replacing soybean products with MWM at 0 (MWM0), 50 (MWM5), 100 (MWM10), and 150 (MWM15) g/kg. Neither linear nor quadratic effects ( P > 0.05 ) were observed for feed intake, physiological responses, carcass traits and internal organs except for large intestines, which linearly decreased ( P < 0.05 ) with MWM levels. There were significant quadratic trends for meat redness ( a *), yellowness ( b *) and chroma values in response to MWM levels. No dietary influences ( P > 0.05 ) were observed on feed intake, physiological responses, internal organ weights, and carcass and meat quality parameters, except on b *, chroma and shear force. Diets MWM5 and MWM10 promoted higher ( P < 0.05 ) b * and chroma values than MWM0. Whereas diet MWM5 promoted the highest ( P < 0.05 ) shear force (2.39 N) than diets MWM0 and MWM10. We concluded that MWM has the potential to replace soybean products in quail diets without compromising their performance, health and meat quality. An optimum MWM inclusion level could not be determined suggesting that higher levels of MWM should be further investigated.
