Abstract Feeding cost is among the main drivers in price competitiveness of intensively‐fed‐aquaculture (IFA) products. As soaring energy prices increase costs technologies used to digestibility plant protein feeds, there an urgent call for comprehensive knowledge on mass use insects as fish feed. This review identifies key aspects insect incorporation into established IFA practices and puts them a commercial context. Larvae Black soldier fly (BSFL) identified most versatile terms (a) variety biowaste usable its rearing, (b) automatization scaling up, (c) nutritional value (d) circular environmental aspects. Furthermore, modifications diets can levels valuable compounds such omega‐3 fatty acids fish. Other ants or mealworms have potential meet requirements various species. While today production BSFL (mostly around 3.5 € kg −1 ) are mostly determined by labour costs, it predicted that intensified industrialization rearing could reduce below 2 . In addition, multiple positive economic impacts, well spillovers, been identified. It proposed further research should be directed towards refining valorization byproducts from farming which dissolve cost. Bringing compliance with principles economy increases reducing improving public opinion.

Abstract Frass, a byproduct of insect rearing, has become popular for its potential use in sustainable agriculture. The rapid growth production results an increased frass output. This study examined the effects as soil amendment on plant and resistance to herbivory. In greenhouse experiments, Brassica rapa L.

Food waste (FW) contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, burdens management systems, worsens food insecurity, and reduces biodiversity. Consequently, upcycling strategies must be refined efficiently convert FW into valuable products. The utilization of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) nutrient-rich insect meal for use in poultry diets is one such nascent strategy. This strategy has the potential address security challenges while reducing environmental impacts both production systems. Indeed, innovations BSFL abundance means that this a high adoption scaling up, despite regulatory framework lags several countries. We analyse suitability various streams insect's nutraceutical value poultry. can resolve global problem contributing towards sustainable systems with minimal recourse additional planetary resources.

Abstract This study investigated the potential of insect-based diets to mitigate heat stress impact on broiler chickens, focusing growth performance and antioxidant stability. Four dietary groups were examined, including a control three treated with Tenebrio molitor (TM), Hermetia illucens (HI), Zophobas morio (ZM) larvae, respectively, at 5% replacement ratio. Temperature relative humidity poultry house monitored. Under conditions, HI-fed group consistently exhibited highest body weight, demonstrating their remarkable growth-promoting potential. TM-fed broilers also displayed commendable compared control. Insect larvae inclusion in diet improved feed intake during early stages, indicating positive influence nutrient utilization. Regarding stability, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels liver, an oxidative lipid peroxidation marker, significantly lower group, suggesting reduced stress. While specific did not affect MDA thigh breast tissues, variations total phenolic content (TPC) observed across HI increasing it breast. However, capacity (TAC) 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) differ among examined tissues. Results suggest that enhance potentially reduce stress, particularly liver. Dietary presence bioactive compounds may contribute these benefits. Further research is required fully elucidate mechanisms underlying findings. Insect-based seem offer promise as additives addressing multifaceted challenges enhancing health resilience under conditions.

Abstract The aim of this study is to determine what extent the addition chitinase black soldier fly (BSF) larval meal enriched or not with long-chain PUFA (LC-PUFA) could improve growth, protein digestion processes and gut microbial composition in Nile tilapia. Two different types BSF were produced, which larvae reared on substrates formulated vegetable culture substrate (VGS) marine fish offal (FOS). raised VGS was α -linolenic acid (ALA), while that FOS ALA + EPA DHA. Six BSF-based diets, chitinase, compared a control diet based fishmeal oil (FMFO). doses (D) from Aspergillus niger (2 g 5 g/kg feed) added diets (VGD0 FOD0) obtain four additional diets: VGD2, VGD5, FOD2 FOD5. After 53 d feeding, results showed BSF/FOS-based induced feed utilisation, efficiency digestibility, as well growth comparable FMFO diet, but better than BSF/VGS-based diets. supplementation BSF/FOS increased intestine relative abundance beneficial microbiota such those Bacillaceae family.
