Utilization of the earthworm, Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826) as an alternative protein source in fish feeds processing: A review

Aquaculture Research, Volume 50, Issue 9, Page 2301-2315, September 2019., 2019
Abstract Use of fish meal in aquaculture is gradually becoming unsustainable due to competition, cost and ecological challenges hence the need to expand the alternative protein sources. The earthworm, Eisenia fetida is among the non‐conventional protein sources, which have been tested with relatively promising results, thanks to its high protein levels,

Insects as sustainable source of feed for poultry

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 9, Page 370-383, September 2025.
Abstract Production of animal feed in an environmentally effective way is the key point for the development of sustainable agriculture. The livestock farming industry is increasing globally to meet the demand for animal protein, resulting in higher food–feed competition while rationing animal diets. In addition, it creates increased pressure on natural
