Article Synopsis
- - Modern aquaculture needs to reduce fish meal (FM) usage in aquafeeds, but substituting FM with alternatives can lead to issues like poor nutrient absorption and metabolic disturbances in carnivorous fish.
- - This study tested three diets for rainbow trout, including a control with high FM and two experimental diets using insect meal and poultry by-products meal as substitutes.
- - The findings indicate that as long as diets are well-balanced nutritionally, substituting FM with sustainable alternatives does not negatively affect the metabolism or health of rainbow trout, with minimal histological changes observed.
Background: Recent investigations highlighted that Hermetia illucens (BSF) larva meal can be a valuable alternative protein source for aquafeed production. In this study, in substitution of fishmeal, we used increasing inclusion levels of a partially defatted BSF larva meal in low fishmeal-based diets for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) and we evaluated the related implications in terms of growth performance, physical characteristics, proximate and fatty acid (FA) compositions of the fillets, gut and liver histology, and diet digestibility. In a 131-day trial, 576 fish (100.

A total of 192 female 3-day-old Muscovy ducklings (, Canedins R71 L White, Grimaud Freres Selection, France) were divided into 4 groups, assigned 4 different dietary treatments (6 replicates/treatment and 8 birds/replicate) and reared from 3 to 50 days of age.
