Review on the use of insects in the diet of farmed fish: Past and future (2015, background): “Oven-drying is usually recommended over sun-drying, as the latter usually yields a 601 fattier maggot meal (with an increased risk of lipid oxidation) that is poorer in proteins (Aniebo and Owen, 2010).”
State-of-the-art on use of insects as animal feed. (2014, background): “Older larvae contain less CP and more lipids (Inaoka et al., 1999; Aniebo et al., 2008; Aniebo and Owen, 2010) (this is not reflected in average values due to the high variability of larvae composition).”
Effect of using insect larvae meal as a complete protein source on quality and productivity characteristics of laying hens (2016, methodology): “Aniebo and Owen (2010) reported an increase in protein content and a decrease in fat content in oven-dried maggot meal compared with sun-dried maggot meal.”
