The aim of this study was to investigate the impact incorporating black soldier fly meal (BSFM) into diet brooding laying hens, with a focus on growth performance, serum biochemical markers, nutrient digestibility, intestinal morphology, and immune responses. A total 480 one-day-old chicks (Hy-Line Brown, commercial flock) were randomly divided four dietary treatment groups, each consisting six replicates 20 birds per pen. One group fed basal control (control/G0 group), while remaining three groups 3% (G3 6% (G6 9% (G9 group) BSFM, respectively. lasted for 42 days. At both 21 days age, several parameters measured, including average daily gain (ADG), feed intake (ADFI), conversion ratio (FCR), tibia length. Blood samples also collected assess antioxidant indicators. Results showed that ADG in G3 significantly higher than G0 during 1-21, 22-24, 1-42 day periods (p < 0.05). F/G lower 1-21 period However, there no significant differences ADFI or length across > protein globulin levels G6 those Additionally, blood urea nitrogen Conversely, triglyceride compared Total activity G9 treated exhibited glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) malondialdehyde (MDA) superoxide dismutase In conclusion, indicates BSFM can serve as high-quality raw material process hen breeding, highlighting its potential viable insect source poultry industry.

This study examined the impact of expanded black soldier fly (EP-BSF) meal on laying hens' reproductive hormones, gap junction proteins, cytokines, and performance. Over 12 weeks trail period, 400 Hy-Line brown hens procured at 24 age underwent a completely randomized design with 5 treatments, 8 replicates, 10 birds per replicate. The received control diet (CON) or diets 3 %, 6 9 % EP-BSF. Results demonstrated that lower EP-BSF levels showed linearly higher (p < 0.05) hen day egg production (HDEP) from 30 to 33 mass (EM) in cumulative comparable CON. Tendencies towards average weight (AEW) was observed when incorporated CON during 34-37 = 0.079), as well 0.056). Yolk color quadratically 0.024) 30-33 weeks, tendency 0.050) level increases. Albumin supplementation 26-29 0.062) weeks. Eggshell thickness increased increased. Serum estradiol (E2) were groups, correlating expression connexins GJA1 GJA4 oviductal tissues tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). In conclusion, incorporation had similar HDEP, AEW, EM, albumin We attributed this E2 resulting TNF-α, GJA chicken oviduct. Our findings also strongly indicate estrogen plays role modulating connexins. These suggest layer may serve an alternative protein source for poultry feed.
