Lalev, M., Mincheva, N., Oblakova, M., Hristakieva, P., Ivanova, I., Atanassov, A. & Petrova, A. (2021). Insect-based diets effects on turkey meat quality. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 27 (5), 980–989 Data on the effects of insect-based diets on turkey meat quality is limited. To address this, the current study aimed to assess the effects of 10% inclusion of insect meals from Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) and Silkworm (Bombyx mori) on turkey meat quality by analyzing physicochemical (pH, water holding capacity, cooking loss, color) and nutritional parameters (protein, amino acids, lipid and mineral content). Hybrid female turkeys at 56 day of age were divided into five dietary treatments: Control (soybean meal), Silkworm meal (SW), Silkworm meal with probiotic mix ‘Zoovit’ (SWpro), Black soldier fly defatted (BSFd) and Black soldier fly whole larvae (BSFw) meals. The experiment lasted for 74 days, from 56-130 days of a turkey’s age. Overall results suggest that 10% inclusion of ins...

Meat Quality and Sensory Traits of Finisher Broiler Chickens Fed with Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens L.) Larvae Fat as Alternative Fat Source
Antonella Dalle Zotte

Animals, 2019

At present, there is limited knowledge about the possible utilization of the fat fraction derived from Hermetia illucens (HI) larvae processing. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the replacement of soybean oil with HI larvae fat in broiler finisher diet, on the quality and sensory traits of their meat. At 21 days of age, 120 male broiler chickens were randomly allocated to three experimental groups (5 replicates and 8 birds/pen): a basal control diet (C), and two groups in which either 50% or 100% of the soybean oil was replaced with HI larvae fat (the HI50 and HI100 group, respectively). At day 48, 15 birds (3 birds/pen) per group were slaughtered, and breasts and legs were excised and used for meat quality evaluations. Breast and leg physical meat quality, nutritional composition and sensory profile remained substantially unaffected by the dietary treatments. In contrast, the dietary incorporation of HI larvae fat modified the fatty acid (FA) profile of both the b...

Journal of Environmental Science, Computer Science and Engineering & Technology, 2020

The unceasingly growing human population and the concurrent decline of agricultural production begets a serious demand for quality protein sources. A 35 days trial was initiated to evaluate the carcass quality and proximate composition of broiler chicken meat supplemented with increasing levels of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) as feed protein sources. There were five tested diets; T0 (100% Commercial Feeds) as control, T1 (75% CF + 25% BSFL), T2 (50%, CF + 50% BSFL), T3 (25% CF + 75% BSFL) and T4 (100% BSFL) using one hundred twenty (120) unsexed day-old Cobb-500 broilers grouped into 8 birds per replicate in three replications under five treatments. The data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) in a completely randomized design (CRD) to determine which treatments significantly differ. The performance results showed that there was no significant difference between treatments in the carcass recovery of meat as well as its organoleptic tests. The crude protein, crude fat and crude fiber of the tested chicken meat was highest in T0, T4 and T3 having 13.03%, 10.40%, and 0.77% respectively. The levels of moisture were high under T2 with 72.12% and ash was 1.22% high on both T0 and T2. The carcasses of broiler chicken supplemented with BSFL can be marketed and acceptable to the consumers. Moreover, the BSFL can be a valuable feed protein supplement to broilers without detrimental effects on the quality of meat.

Evaluation of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Larvae Meal as an Alternative Protein Source in Broiler Chicken Diets: Effect on Carcass and Eating Quality of Broiler Chicken
Dr. Mohammed Alhassan

An experiment was conducted using broiler finishers to determine the effects of black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) in broiler rations on the sensory and carcass characteristics of the birds. A total of eight broiler chickens were randomly selected from 40 birds fed diets containing 0% (control) and 33% replacement of fish meal with BSFLM. At 56 days of age, eight birds were slaughtered after 8-hour feed withdrawal, dressed, eviscerated and chilled for 24 h. The cold carcasses were also sectioned into various carcass joints and weighed. The breast muscles were used for sensory analysis while the thigh muscles were used for laboratory analyses. The results indicated that BSFLM inclusion up to 33% replacing commercial fish meal did not (P>0.05) adversely affect the carcass and sensory characteristics of the meat. However, proximate composition results indicated higher (P<0.001) protein content in birds fed BSFLM-based diet than their control counterparts. Dry matter, fat and ash contents were similar (P>0.05) between the control birds and the birds fed BSFLM-based diet. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that replacing fish meal with BSFLM up to 33.3% had no adverse effects on eating quality and improved protein content of the meat.

Effects of Using Black Soldier Fly Larvae Meal (Hermetia illucens L) as a Source of Protein on Boosting Performance, Carcass Quality, and Nutrient Digestibility of Village Chicken
Asmuddin Natsir

Journal of Animal Health and Production

T here is a continuous increase in the growth of the animal husbandry industry in Indonesia, especially the poultry sector, due to the increasing demand for related products and population growth. The local village chicken plays an essential role in the lives of Indonesian and is associated with cultural development, especially in rural areas, where it is a major source of meat and eggs to fulfill the nutritional demands of the people. However, the development of local poultry in the country, especially village chicken, is still very slow compared to commercial chicken breeds. This condition is due to the relatively low genetic potential, inadequate management, and the use of traditional feeds with low quality (Nataamijaya, 2017). According to Budiansyah (2010), approximately 70-80% full-scale fabrication value of livestock business depends on the feed. Therefore, the optimal quality and quantity of feed are needed to improve growth. One of the effects of Covid-19 is the disruption in the supply of mostly imported protein source feedstuffs, such as fish and soybean meal. These ingredients are required to formulate a ration containing balanced nutrition to meet the needs of poultry for optimal production. Consequently, the price of these feed ingredients is increasing. According

Dietary Inclusion of Defatted Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) Pupa Meal for Broiler Chickens at Different Ages: Growth Performance, Carcass and Meat Quality Traits
Yazavinder Singh

Animals, 2023

The present study was conducted to assess the effects of a 4% defatted silkworm (SWM-DEF) meal dietary incorporation into chickens’ diet at different growth stages on growth performances, carcass, and meat quality traits. A total of 90 Ross 308 one-day-old male broiler chickens were randomly allocated into 3 dietary groups of 5 replicated pens/diet (6 chickens/pen). One group was fed a standard soybean-based diet (C); group SWM1 consumed a starter diet (1–10 days of age) including 4% SWM-DEF and then the C diet up to slaughter (11–42 days of age); group SWM2 was fed with the C diet in the starter phase and the 4% SWM-DEF diet up to slaughter. Individual live weight and pen feed intake were determined at the end of each feeding phase: starter, grower, and finisher. Weight gain and FCR were then calculated. At 42 days of age, chickens were slaughtered and carcass traits determined. Leg and breast physico-chemical meat quality was also evaluated. Results confirmed that SWM-DEF could be a possible alternative feed source for chickens since growth performance, carcass, and meat physical traits were overall comparable in the three treatment groups. The feeding stage seemed to play a relevant impact on the sole meat protein content (SWM1 < SMW2 and C; p < 0.001). Concluding, the results available to date indicate that 4% SWM-DEF can be provided to chickens in different growth phases, and the choice of the inclusion period is more an industrial cost-benefit evaluation. From the scientific point of view, however, an administration in the grower-finisher phase rather than in the starter one provided the best meat nutritional quality. Further investigations should focus on the impact on meat fatty acids profile and sensory traits, which are of utmost importance for consumers.

The effect of yellow mealworm larvae meal supplementation in broiler diets on meat quality
Eva Mrkvicova

Acta Veterinaria Brno, 2021

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Tenebrio molitor larvae meal supplementation in chicken diets on the chemical composition and sensory quality of meat. The experiment was conducted on 120 Ross 308 male broilers from day 12 to day 38 of their age. Broilers were divided into three equal groups with 5 replicates per treatment. The two experimental groups received feed mixtures containing 2% (TM2; n = 40) and 5% (TM5; n = 40), respectively of yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor L.) meal. The third group (TM0; n = 40) was control, receiving 0% of mealworms in diet. The addition of mealworm meal to diets in this trial do not worsen the chemical composition or sensory characteristics of the thigh meat of broilers. The control chickens had a higher live weight (P &lt; 0.05) compared to the experimental groups at the end of the trial. The lowest live weight and feed intake was determined in group TM2 (P &lt; 0.05). The highest feed intake (P &lt; 0.05) was found in the contr...

An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of yellow mealworm larvae (Tenebrio molitor) meal inclusion in diets of indigenous chickens. A total of 160 mixed-sex indigenous Boschveld chickens were randomly divided into four categories: control soybean meal (SBM) and yellow mealworm with percentage levels of 5, 10 and 15 (TM5, TM10 and TM15, respectively). Five replicate pens per treatment were used, with eight birds per pen/replicate. On day 60, two birds from each replicate were slaughtered and eviscerated. Meat quality parameters were measured out on raw carcass and cooked breast meat. The carcass weight, breast weight and gizzard weight of the control group was higher (p &lt; 0.05) than the treatment group (TM15). The cooking loss was lower (p &lt; 0.05) in the SBM control group but higher in the TM15 group. Colour characteristics of breast meat before cooking was lighter in the TM10 and TM15 group, ranged from 61.7 to 69.3 for L* and was significant (p &lt; 0.05). The TM1...

Effect of Dried Mealworm Larvae Probiotics on Quality and Oxidative Stability of Meat in Broilers
A.B.M. Rubayet Bostami

2016

The study was conducted to evaluate the dry mealworm larvae probiotics (DMLP) on meat quality and oxidative stability in broilers. A total of 320 day-old Ross 308 male broiler chicks were randomly assigned into four dietary treatments: control (basal diet); 0.2% DMLP (basal diet + 0.2% DMLP); 0.4% DMLP (basal diet + 0.4% DMLP); and 0.8% DMLP (basal diet + 0.8% DMLP) on DM basis in a completely randomized design. Results showed that crude protein content decreased (quadratic, P&lt;0.004) and crude ash content increased (linear, P&lt;0.05) in breast meat. A linear decrease in myristic acid (P=0.01) and dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA) (P&lt;0.002) and increased nervonic (P&lt;0.004) and eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) (P=0.07) in breast meat, while fatty acid content in thigh meat remain unchanged except reduced myristic acid (P=0.003). The cholesterol content and oxidative rancidity were reduced linearly (P&lt;0.05) both in breast and thigh meat. Therefore, DMLP can be supplemented as an al...

Effect of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) meals on the meat quality in broilers
Evgeni Petkov

Agricultural and Food Science, 2020

The experiment aimed to assess the effect of dietary inclusion of meals derived from Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae on the meat quality in broilers. The birds were divided into three groups according to the formulated diets: control (CON)– receiving standard diet, Т1 – receiving 5% partially defatted and Т2 – receiving 5% full fat BSF meal during the finishing period (14–35 d). At the age of 35 days, 10 broilers from each group were slaughtered for meat quality evaluation. The dietary inclusion of the BSF meals was associated with decrease of pH and lighter colour of the meat. The total amount of the saturated fatty acids (SFA) and atherogenic index (AI) were increased, while polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), the ratios between PUFA and SFA (P/S), n-6/n-3 PUFA and hypo/hypercholesterolemic fatty acids (h/H) were decreased in the meat of the broilers consuming insect meals. The results of the study suggest good prospective for further research with the examined BSF meals for broile...

Do insects as feed ingredient affect meat quality?
Antonella Dalle Zotte

Teoriâ i Praktika Pererabotki Mâsa, 2021

The development of sustainable feed ingredients for monogastric livestock is nowadays considering insect meals and oils to replace or supplement conventional feedstuffs. Although the regulation on the use of insect products differs among countries resulting in restrictions on use in the diets of monogastric meat producers, global research is exploring all the strengths and weaknesses of their inclusion. Therefore, whereas the scientific literature has extensively studied both the relationship between insect farming systems and safety (potential health risks), and between the dietary use of insects and the nutritional value of diets and production performance of farm animals (fish, poultry, swine, rabbit), the relationship between insect-containing diet and meat quality has only recently been considered. The present review therefore aims to collect the results of the studies that have related the dietary use of some insect species, such as the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), the yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) and the silkworm (Bombyx mori), on the physicochemical and sensory traits of the poultry, swine and rabbit meat. The variable that has been most affected by the inclusion of insects as feed on livestock meat quality is the fatty acid (FA) profile, which, as is well known, in monogastrics tends to reflect that of the diet. Therefore, the black soldier fly inclusion has always originated meats with a more saturated FA profile, the yellow mealworm a more monounsaturated fatty acid profile, whereas the silkworm a more unsaturated fatty acid profile and rich of valuable omega-3 FA, but rarely changed the related physicochemical variables, or the sensory profile of the meat.

The aim of this study was to compare selected growth performance parameters and slaughter characteristics in broiler chickens fed diets with a different content of full-fat Hermetia illucens L. (HI) larvae meal. The experiment was performed on 384 male broiler chickens (Ross 308) reared to 42 d of age and assigned to four dietary treatments (HI0—control diet and diets where soybean meal protein (SBM) was replaced with HI protein in 50%, 75% and 100%, respectively). The final body weights of chickens were as follows: 3010.0 g (HI0), 2650.0 g (HI50), 2590.0 g (HI75) and 2375.0 g (H100, p &lt; 0.05). The carcasses of chickens from the experimental groups contained less meat and more abdominal fat. The feed conversion ratio for the entire experimental period was similar in groups HI0, HI50 and HI75 and more desirable than in group HI100 (p &lt; 0.05). The meat of broiler chickens from groups HI75 and HI100 was characterized by significantly (p &lt; 0.05) lower juiciness and taste intens...

Technological Quality, Amino Acid and Fatty Acid Profile of Broiler Meat Enhanced by Dietary Inclusion of Black Soldier Fly Larvae
Manisha Kolakshyapati

2021

We evaluated the effects of full-fat black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) on broiler carcass composition, cut yield, and breast meat quality. Broilers were fed for 42 days with up to 20% dietary inclusion of BSFL (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%). On day 42, 120 broilers were slaughtered, and images were taken using computed tomography. Breasts, drumsticks, and thighs were collected for cut yield determination. The pH, color, lipid oxidation, cooking loss, shear force, amino acid profile, and fatty acid profile of the breast meat were assessed. There was no dietary effect on carcass composition or meat quality parameters except for fatty and amino acids compositions. When 20% BSFL was included in the diet, individual fatty and amino acids, such as lauric and myristic acids, aspartic acid, glutamine, and lysine, increased by 22.0-, 5.50-, 1.08-, 1.06-, and 1.06-fold, respectively (p &lt; 0.05).
