Use of insect protein in poultry feeding

The following is a review of the use of some insect species as a promising way of solving the protein supply problem. The use of conventional proteins in animal feed such as fishmeal is now challenged. Marine over-exploitation has reduced the abundance of small pelagic forage fish from which fishmeal and fish oil are derived. The production of other protein sources such as soybean is also limited globally due to the limited land availability for soy cultivation. The growing scarcity of resour
