Protein and amino acids digestibility of two black soldier fly larvae meal forms in broilers

A trial was conducted to evaluate the protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) digestibility of two types dehydrated Black Soldier fly (i.e. Hermetia illucens) larvae meal: a defatted meal (DF) and a full fat meal (FF) in broilers. These insects were all fed with agri-food by-products. A total of 140 male...

Description
Summary:A trial was conducted to evaluate the protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) digestibility of two types dehydrated Black Soldier fly (i.e. Hermetia illucens) larvae meal: a defatted meal (DF) and a full fat meal (FF) in broilers. These insects were all fed with agri-food by-products. A total of 140 male broilers of 21 days of age were used. Five experimental feeds were formulated to calculate standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP and AA using the regression method. After 7 days of receiving the experimental diets, animals were slaughtered and the terminal ileum content was collected to determine CP and the individual AA digestibility.
