Nutritional Composition of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens L.) and Its Potential Uses as Alternative Protein Sources in Animal Diets: A Review

SIMPLE SUMMARY: With the increasing global population, the shortage of protein feed resources is becoming more and more serious, and human beings urgently need to find new protein sources to replace traditional soybean meal and fish meal. Black soldier fly larvae are rich in fatty acids, proteins an...

description SIMPLE SUMMARY: With the increasing global population, the shortage of protein feed resources is becoming more and more serious, and human beings urgently need to find new protein sources to replace traditional soybean meal and fish meal. Black soldier fly larvae are rich in fatty acids, proteins and minerals. Numerous studies have shown that adding black soldier fly larvae powder to monogastric animals has no negative effects on animal growth performance, meat quality and immunity. However, black soldier flies are still subject to legal constraints and consumer acceptance when they are used as feed. ABSTRACT: The rapidly growing population has increased demand for protein quantities and, following a shortage of plant-based feed protein sources and the prohibition of animal-based feed protein, has forced the search for new sources of protein. Therefore, humans have turned their attention to edible insects. Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) (Hermetia illucens L.) are rich in nutrients such as fat, protein and high-quality amino acids and minerals, making them a good source of protein. Furthermore, BSFL are easily reared and propagated on any nutrient substrate such as plant residues, animal manure and waste, food scraps, agricultural byproducts, or straw. Although BSFL cannot completely replace soybean meal in poultry diets, supplementation of less than 20% has no negative impact on chicken growth performance, biochemical indicators and meat quality. In pig studies, although BSFL supplementation did not have any negative effect on growth performance and meat quality, the feed conversion ratio (FCR) was reduced. There is obviously less research on the feeding of BSFL in pigs than in poultry, particularly in relation to weaning piglets and fattening pigs; further research is needed on the supplementation level of sows. Moreover, it has not been found that BSFL are used in ruminants, and the next phase of research could therefore study them. The use of BSFL in animal feed presents some challenges in terms of cost, availability and legal and consumer acceptance. However, this should be considered in the context of the current shortage of protein feed and the nutritional value of BSFL, which has important research significance in animal production.
