The aim of the present study was to assess effects dietary supplementation with live black soldier fly (BSF) and yellow mealworm (YMW) larvae on Muscovy duck slaughter performance, meat quality (pH, color, water holding capacity, shear force), proximate composition, fatty acid profile. A total 126 female ducks were split into three groups: control (commercial feed only), BSF + larvae), YMW larvae). At 55 days age, weight assessed. results showed absence any differences in performance or traits between groups exception thigh composition. Indeed, moisture content lower two insect-fed compared group, while crude protein higher than birds (P < 0.05). We also observed a proportion C12:0 from birds, C14:0 C16:1 n7 group This confirms that providing insect does not compromise overall these birds.
