The increased cost of fishmeal in compounding fish feed has prompted the use of cheaper and readily accessible animal protein (insect protein). The effects of garlic powder supplement in diets fed to the 3rd nymphal stages of Blattodea germanica and Supella longipalpa on bacterial activities were...

Dairy proteins are commonly used to stabilize oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, which can be replaced by other sustainable sources of proteins, such as insects. This study investigated the potential of lesser mealworm protein concentrate (LMPC) as a sustainable alternative to whey protein isolate (WPI) ...

The black soldier fly (BSF) Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) is a beneficial insect species of great environmental and economic potential. Previous studies showed that providing a suitable pupation substrate can accelerate BSF pupation and increase pupation rate. However, the effect...

Background: In contrast to protein-rich insect meal, the feed potential of insect fat is generally less explored and knowledge about the suitability of insect fat as a fat source specifically in broiler diets is still limited. In view of this, the present study aimed to comprehensively investigate...
