Risk profile related to production and consumption of insects as food and feed (2015, background): “Larvae of the common housefly (M. domestica) contain 54 % crude protein in dried matter and could successfully replace fishmeal in broiler diets (Teguia et al., 2002; Awoniyi et al., 2004; Hwangbo et al., 2009).”
Recent advances in role of insects as alternative protein source in poultry nutrition (2018, background): “pupae of HF to rear broilers chicks (Akpodiete and Inoni 2000; Téguia et al. 2002; Awoniyi et al. 2003; Adeniji 2007; Adesina et al. 2011; Okah and Onwujiariri 2012), layers (Dankwa et al.”
State-of-the-art on use of insects as animal feed. (2014, background): “…level of maggot meal in the diet increased from 1% to 2% (50 to 100% substitution of fishmeal; weight basis), suggesting potential toxic effects (Téguia et al., 2002), but a later experiment reported that housefly larvae meal included at up to 50% to replace fishmeal in broiler soybean-maize…”
Edible insects: future prospects for food and feed security (2014, background): “Studies have shown that maggot meal could replace fishmeal in the production of broiler chickens (Téguia et al., 2002; Hwangbo et al., 2009).”
