Insect and fish by-products as sustainable alternatives to conventional animal proteins in animal nutrition

Italian Journal of Animal Science, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 19(1), С. 360 - 372

Опубликована: Апрель 1, 2020

This paper reviews current knowledge on two feedstuffs, that is, insect meal and fish by-products, as alternatives to conventional animal protein sources. After an introductory part highlights the need for sustainable development of production, alternative sources are discussed. In particular, after providing some indications their production supply focussing EU, a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis was performed identify key factors could help or impair both sectors. Finally, future perspectives presented. The use processed proteins derived from insects in farmed feeding is recognised by EU legislation authorises seven species allowed substrates rear insects.

Suitability of Black Soldier Fly Frass as Soil Amendment and Implication for Organic Waste Hygienization

Agronomy, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 10(10), С. 1578 - 1578

Because of its nutritious properties, the black soldier fly has emerged as one most popular species in advancing circular economy through re-valorization anthropogenic organic wastes to insect biomass. Black frass accumulates a major by-product artificial rearing set-ups and harbors great potential complement or replace commercial fertilizers. We applied from larvae raised on different diets nitrogen-equivalent amounts soil amendment, comparing it NH4NO3 fertilizer control. While properties did not reveal any difference between mineral frass, principal component analysis showed significant differences that are mainly attributed nitrate dissolved nitrogen contents. find growth perennial ryegrass treatments, indicating serves rapidly acting comparable NH4NO3. abundance coliform bacteria increased during maturation, after application soil, they were outcompeted by gram-negatives. thus conclude may serve valuable does impair hygienic soils.

Towards achieving circularity and sustainability in feeds for farmed blue foods

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.

Edible Insect Farming in the Context of the EU Regulations and Marketing—An Overview

Insects, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13(5), С. 446 - 446

Опубликована: Май 7, 2022

Insects are increasingly being considered as an attractive source of protein that can cater to the growing demand for food around world and promote development sustainable systems. Commercial insect farms have been established in various countries, mainly Asia, but Europe, edible insects not yet emerged a viable alternative traditional plant- animal-based sources protein. In this paper, we present interdisciplinary overview technological aspects farming context EU regulations marketing. Based on review literature, concluded be business sector significantly contributes overall sustainability systems if appropriate introduced safety standards guaranteed. However, success industry also requires consumer acceptance entomophagy, which is rather low Western societies. Therefore, targeted marketing strategies indispensable support implementation programs.

Insect-Derived Chitin and Chitosan: A Still Unexploited Resource for the Edible Insect Sector

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(6), С. 4864 - 4864

Опубликована: Март 9, 2023

Chitin and chitosan are biopolymers that frequently found in nature have a broad range of applications the food, biomedical industrial sectors, due to their high biological activity. The primary source chitin is shellfish, however, shortages supply chain, seasonality issues availability, as well ecological degradation only few problems with main resources. Due spectrum for which can be used, demand its derivatives increasing. Therefore, market looking widely available, greener alternatives commercial sources. Insects appear suitable candidate fill this gap. During insect rearing processing, number side streams generated, e.g., exuviae larvae pupae, dead adults, etc. currently mostly discarded waste. However, these could constitute novel long-term applications. Recent research has demonstrated suitability several edible species production chitosan, wherein exoskeleton black soldier fly field cricket rich chitin, making them good extraction purification among other farmed candidates. Moreover, potential uses been identified insect-derived chitosan. Thus, review aims present recent advances from insects, specifically on purification, agriculture, food nutrition, biomedicine bioplastic production.

Insect Farming for Feed and Food Production from a Circular Business Model Perspective

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 12(13), С. 5418 - 5418

Опубликована: Июль 4, 2020

The studies focused on the use of insects have outlined numerous reasons for using as food and feed an important method to increase opportunities consumers. Insects been emphasized a source with low environmental impact due limited requirement arable land water, ecological cost, high-quality protein provision. In Europe Western countries, insect farming is growing business in which, however, some critical economic aspects must be recognized. sector needs adequately promoted rationally exploit huge amount potential. As such, aim this study was analyze recent research related production purpose providing evidence points emerging sector. focus mainly oriented understanding how can foster virtuous circular processes, specifically considering basis literature currently available principles. A model approach proposed address entire insect-based supply chain from perspective. our opinion, findings underline questions that need addressed near future, conceptual individualized help cost- eco-effectiveness
