Nutritional Composition of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens L.) and Its Potential Uses as Alternative Protein Sources in Animal Diets: A Review

Insects, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 13(9), P. 831 - 831

Published: Sept. 13, 2022

The rapidly growing population has increased demand for protein quantities and, following a shortage of plant-based feed sources and the prohibition animal-based protein, forced search new protein. Therefore, humans have turned their attention to edible insects. Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) (Hermetia illucens L.) are rich in nutrients such as fat, high-quality amino acids minerals, making them good source Furthermore, BSFL easily reared propagated on any nutrient substrate plant residues, animal manure waste, food scraps, agricultural byproducts, or straw. Although cannot completely replace soybean meal poultry diets, supplementation less than 20% no negative impact chicken growth performance, biochemical indicators meat quality. In pig studies, although did not effect performance quality, conversion ratio (FCR) was reduced. There is obviously research feeding pigs poultry, particularly relation weaning piglets fattening pigs; further needed level sows. Moreover, it been found that used ruminants, next phase could therefore study them. use presents some challenges terms cost, availability legal consumer acceptance. However, this should be considered context current nutritional value BSFL, which important significance production.

Edible crickets are among the praised insects that gaining recognition as human food and livestock feed with a potential of contributing to security reduction malnutrition. Globally, sustainable use or is undermined by lack information on number edible crickets, country where they consumed, developmental stages consumed.

Bioavailability of nutrients from edible insects

Current Opinion in Food Science, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 41, P. 240 - 248

Published: Aug. 8, 2021

Edible insects are high value alternative protein sources, exhibiting quality nutrient compositions along with potentially health-promoting constituents. Insects rich in (35–61%), lipids (13–33%) and also contain a significant amount of 'animal' fiber form insoluble chitin. Apart from macronutrients, some known for their minerals vitamins profiles. However, the vary species, diet, developmental stage, sex growth environment insects. Bioavailability bioaccessibility insect nutrients sparsely researched topics, while most studies focus on content characterization. Similar to any other food, type preparation processing has effect bioaccessible nutrients. This article provides an overview bioavailability present factors affecting variability.

Towards achieving circularity and sustainability in feeds for farmed blue foods

Reviews in Aquaculture, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 1115 - 1141

Published: Nov. 23, 2022

Abstract The aims of this review are to describe the role ‘blue‐food production’ (animals, plants and algae harvested from freshwater marine environments) within a circular bioeconomy, discuss how such framework can help sustainability resilience aquaculture summarise key examples novel nutrient sources that emerging in field fed‐aquaculture species. Aquaculture now provides >50% global seafood supply, share is expected increase at least 60% next decade. an important tool for reducing resource consumption protein production increasing climate change other disruptions (i.e. pandemics, geo‐political instability). Importantly, blue foods also provide essential nutrition growing human population. Blue helping goal ‘zero hunger’ (United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal 2) while dependency on finite natural resources but further refinement new solutions needed make industry more ‘circular’ sustainable, particularly with respect sourcing raw materials aquafeeds. This describes feed available or may be created bioeconomy framework, their ultimately, these contribute de‐risking establishing resilient chain.

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

Animal Bioscience, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 35(2), P. 317 - 331

Published: Jan. 3, 2022

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