Effects of dietary protein and carbohydrate on life‐history traits and body protein and fat contents of the black soldier fly Hermetia illucens (2019, result): “Barragán-Fonseca, personal observations) and in previous experiments (Spranghers et al., 2016; Barragan-Fonseca et al., 2018).”
Effects of feedstock on larval development and process efficiency in waste treatment with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) (2019, background): “This varies with the nature of input materials and may range from as little as 3% for biogas digestate to 23% on awet-weight basis when working with fresh human excreta (Banks et al., 2014; Lalander et al., 2015; Newton et al., 2005; Spranghers et al., 2016).”
Insect meals in fish nutrition (2018, background): “This fatty acid is more abundant in HI than in the other meal types, and its abundance seemed to be conditionate on the type of feed, not the stage of development, as concluded by Spranghers et al. (2017) and shown in Table 6.”
Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Meal as a Promising Feed Ingredient for Poultry: A Comprehensive Review (2020, background): “It is now well established from a variety of studies that edible insects have a high content of protein, essential amino acids, minerals, and vitamins [13].”
Review of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) as Animal Feed and Human Food (2017, methodology): “In every case, nutrients were concentrated from the substrate, which always had less fat and protein than the insects [97].”
Larvae Mediated Valorization of Industrial, Agriculture and Food Wastes: Biorefinery Concept through Bioconversion, Processes, Procedures, and Products (2020, background): “Similar results were achieved where diets with protein content ranging from 9 to 25% had a relatively equivalent larval protein content, which was between the range of 40 and 43% dry matter [26].”
Can diets containing insects promote animal health (2018, background): “The possible antimicrobial effects of fat (C12:0) of the black soldier fly could provide an important added value when complete larvae/prepupae are used as a protein source in the feed of monogastrics (Spranghers et al., 2017).”
