Growth and histomorphological responses of Chindongo socolofi to the long‐term replacement of fish meal with defatted Tenebrio molitor meal

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The long‐term suitability of defatted Tenebrio molitor larvae meal (TM) as a substitute for fish meal (FM) protein was evaluated in Chindongo socolofi over a 170‐day feeding period. Six isonitrogenous (38% crude protein) and isoenergetic (4396 kcal kg−1) diets were formulated, in which TM protein replaced FM protein at 0% (control), 20%, 40 ...

Evaluation of some insects as potential feed ingredients for ruminants: chemical composition, in vitro rumen fermentation and methane emissions

Journal of the Indonesian Tropical Animal Agriculture, 2017
This experiment was aimed to evaluate chemical composition, in vitro rumen fermentation, digestibility and methane emissions of some insects, i.e. Jamaican field cricket (JFC), mealworm (MW) and black soldier fly larvae age 1 and 2 weeks (BSF1 and BSF2).

Determination of yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) nutritional value as an animal and human food supplementation [PDF]

Arthropods, 2018
For many decades insects have been used as food sources and supplementation due to their availability and easiness in rising that is much less burdensome for environment than animal husbandry and breeding.

Composting with mealworms for plastics degradation

Detritus
Recycling plastics is an energy intensive process, but entomoremediation (the use of insects to transform environmental contaminants), and insect-driven plastics degradation (plastivory) may offer a natural, low energy, cost effective approach to plastics waste reduction.

Response Characteristics of Defatted Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) Instead of Fish Meal to the Intestinal Immunity and Microflora of Juvenile Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)

Aquaculture Nutrition
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of varying levels of defatted mealworm as a substitute for fish meal on the growth, intestinal health, and intestinal microflora of juvenile pikeperch (Sander lucioperca).

Octopamine alters yellow mealworm body composition

animal
There is the potential to increase the production yield within the emerging insect industry in order to produce high-quality, sustainable protein. In invertebrates, the monoamine, octopamine (OA), has a similar role to that of noradrenaline in mammals. Beta-2 adrenergic agonists increase protein and decrease fat deposition in mammals, thereby inducing ...
