Description
Yuri Katagiri Dalmoro, Carolina Franceschi, Catarina Stefanello, and Enrico Gugliandolo wrote a 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis on feeding insect meal to poultry. Larvae of the black soldier fly and the mealworm are rich in protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals. They could make chicken feed more sustainable than standard sources.
The team gathered trials from 2016 to 2023 that fed these insect products to broiler chickens. Beyond nutrition, insect meal carries chitin, lauric acid, and antimicrobial peptides that may help gut health and immunity. The review found positive effects on health measures, above all on gut microbe balance in the small and large intestine. The meta-analysis also weighed effects on growth performance. The authors judge insect products a promising feed ingredient at low inclusion levels.
