The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) strives to develop new methodologies (quantitative and qualitative) for assessing animal welfare of food-producing animals by 2027 start collecting standardised good quality (AW) data 2030.In light its vision, EFSA identified the need an action Roadmap More Welfare project: towards risk assessment harmonised in EU.This maps existing methods, tools, collection activities different species through literature review, desk research, online surveys, workshops.It identifies knowledge gaps as well challenges blockers prevalent AW assessment.In doing so, roadmap points research areas that require further development (i.e., working areas), but also highlights collaboration opportunities priority strategies (actions project proposals) necessary achieving EFSA's vision.Seven were discussed with external experts during virtual workshops, touching upon definition welfare, indicators tools assessment, frameworks assess and/or prioritise issues.Finally, formulates five proposals, each them presenting high-level recommendations on multi-annual multipartner projects experts, supported a SWOT analysis.

The use of alternative proteins is becoming more common in pet feed, and insect-based dog foods (IBDFs) are widely available. However, little research has been conducted to date respect the drivers for consumers’ acceptance IBDF. This study aimed investigate IBDF among adult UK owners factors influencing decision try buy such products. A theoretical model was developed following a review existing literature. An online survey 280 participants carried out results were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) test model. constructs all had significant impact on attitudes towards and/or intentions IBDF: food preferences animal welfare, health environment; uses animals; beliefs about insect sentience; disgust; perceptions benefits risks; social norms. Social norms strongest influence any single construct. Consumer multi-faceted including social, cultural ethical components, it likely that better availability information opportunities consumers familiarise themselves with would help drive consumer acceptance. In order allow make informed decisions line their preferences, further needed establish overall welfare implications animals involved production, as well companion animals, who ultimate consumers.

Abstract Insect production for food and feed presents a promising supplement to ensure safety address the adverse impacts of agriculture on climate environment in future. However, optimisation is required insect realise its full potential. This can be by targeted improvement traits interest through selective breeding, an approach which has so far been underexplored underutilised farming. Here, we present comprehensive review breeding framework context production. We systematically evaluate adjustments techniques realm insects highlight essential components integral process. The discussion covers every step conventional scheme, such as formulation objectives, phenotyping, estimation genetic parameters values, selection appropriate strategies, mitigation issues associated with diversity depletion inbreeding. combines knowledge from diverse disciplines, bridging gap between animal quantitative genetics, evolutionary biology entomology, offering integrated view research area uniting previously remained scattered across fields expertise.

Insect farming for animal feed production is considered a promising alternative to the traditional manufacturing sector, because of its low ecological footprint and circular use required resources. However, treating insects as mini-livestock accompanied by various questions on suitable rearing conditions needed achieve high-quality products, while considering insect welfare. Although there are concepts which have long served compass welfare regulations, these been under increasing criticism. Also, they drawn up vertebrate animals are, therefore, not entirely applicable insects. We hold that development commonly accepted methods keeping demands deep knowledge biology dynamic discussion plead an evaluation relevant ethical empirical aspects establishing criteria based evaluations. By addressing several uncertainties from interdisciplinary perspective entomology, ethics philosophy mind, we argue taking into account current could aid in emergence novel, well-informed integrated Ultimately, our goal trace necessary biological factors designing implementable appropriate conditions, order avoid mistakes historically made systems.

The large-scale insect rearing sector is expected to grow significantly in the next few years, with Hermetia illucens L. (black soldier fly, BSF) playing a pivotal role. As traditional livestock, it essential improve and ensure BSF welfare. A starting point can be an adaptation of Five Freedoms framework. Feed availability must optimized meet larvae nutritional needs (freedom from hunger) while maximizing substrate conversion efficiency. Similarly, density well-being, particularly operations. In this study, Control (commercial laying hen feed) Omnivorous substrates (vegetable meat) were used as dietary regimes. first trial, three feeding rates tested: 50, 100, 200 mg feed/larva/day; second densities evaluated: 5, 10, 15 larvae/cm2. Performance parameters, including final larval weight, frass biomass, growth rate, reduction, feed ratio, length, survival chemical composition, process optimization, studied. Our results show that rate approximately 90 feed/larva/day diet 175 diet, along 5 7.57 larvae/cm2, respectively, diets, produced optimal performances ensuring well-being. This outcome offers valuable insights for implementing good welfare practices farming optimizing management

Temperature is an important abiotic factor influencing the survival and fitness of pathogens as well their hosts. We investigated effect three temperatures (18 °C, 27 °C 37 °C) on performance black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), Hermetia illucens L., upon infection by entomopathogenic Gram-negative bacterium, Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5. The different pathogen was both in vivo vitro. Pathogen under exposure to insect antimicrobial peptide cecropin at using radial-diffusion plate assays. Higher rearing resulted higher larval survival, increased weight, inhibitory activity against P. At temperature, bacterial growth, vitro, reduced, resulting BSFL survival. These observations collectively indicate temperature host-pathogen interactions possibility apply treatment reducing entomopathogen effects BSFL.
