In order to expand with validated scientific data the limited knowledge regarding potential application of insects as innovative feed ingredients for poultry, present study tested a partial substitution soya bean meal and oil defatted black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (H) in diet growing broiler quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) on growth performance, mortality, nutrients apparent digestibility, microbiological composition excreta, choice, carcass meat traits. With this purpose,...

The present research studied for the first time potential application of fat derived from black soldier fly larvae (BSLF) in substitution to soybean oil diet broiler chickens: growth performances, feed-choice, blood traits, carcass characteristics and meat quality were considered this study. A total 150 male chicks (Ross 308) at one-day age randomly allotted 3 dietary treatments (5 replicates 10 birds/pen): a basal control (C group), same which was replaced by 50% (CH group) or 100% (H BSLF....

The objective of the present study was to evaluate effects partial or total replacement finisher diet soybean oil with black soldier fly (Hermethia illucens L.; HI) larva fat on growth performance, carcass traits, blood parameters, intestinal morphology and histological features broiler chickens. At 21 days age, a 120 male chickens (Ross 308) were randomly allocated three experimental groups (five replicates eight birds/pen). To basal control (C; 68.7 g/kg as fed oil), either 50% 100%...

The aim of the research was to study impact white striping and wooden breast myopathies on technological quality, mineral, sensory profile poultry meat. With this purpose, a total 138 breasts were selected for control group with normal (N), characterised by (WS) myopathy, having both (WSWB). Data revealed that simultaneous presence two myopathies, respect WS lesion individually considered, had further detrimental effect pH (6.04 vs. 5.96; P < 0.05), yellowness (11.4 10.3; 0.01), cooking...

In the perspective of improving sustainability meat production, insects have been rapidly emerging as innovative feed ingredient for some livestock species, including poultry. However, at present, there is still limited knowledge regarding quality and sensory traits derived meat. Therefore, present study tested effect a partial substitution soya bean meal oil with defatted black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (H) in diet growing broiler quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) on...

The purposes of the study were to investigate effects Wooden Breast (WB) myodegeneration on poultry meat quality and give a contribution in typing lesions morphology. At cutting facility, 474 carcasses high-breast-yield hybrid chickens inspected for WB condition, 30 normal (N) affected breast fillets (Pectoralis major) randomly selected. condition represented 53.2% examined carcasses. Weight, cross sectional area (CSA), pH, L*, a*, b* colour values, water-holding capacity, Warner-Bratzler...

At present, there is limited knowledge about the possible utilization of fat fraction derived from Hermetia illucens (HI) larvae processing. The objective present study was to evaluate replacement soybean oil with HI in broiler finisher diet, on quality and sensory traits their meat. 21 days age, 120 male chickens were randomly allocated three experimental groups (5 replicates 8 birds/pen): a basal control diet (C), two which either 50% or 100% replaced (the HI50 HI100 group, respectively)....

House cricket (Acheta domesticus; AD) and yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor; TM) are two promising insect species for possible novel food applications. In this research the protein fractions were extracted, characterised, used in manufacturing of pasta by replacing semolina with 14% powdered proteins. Pasta samples then analysed to evaluate technological quality aspects. Results showed that inclusion resulted a darker (L* value: 76.7, 53.4, 59.9 control, AD TM, respectively) firmer (12.4,...

Insects are promising candidates as alternative sustainable sources of protein for poultry species. The present research studied the effect a dietary inclusion defatted black soldier fly (BSF) larvae meal an source in diets laying quails, on productive performance, egg physicochemical quality, fatty acid profile, sensory traits and storage stability. A total 225 quails were divided into 3 groups (5 replicates/each). conventional soybean meal-based diet was formulated (Control group), two...

This research aimed at improving the fatty acid (FA) profile of Hermetia illucens larvae (HI) and evaluating effects their inclusion in growing broiler quails’ diets on meat physicochemical quality, including detailed amino (AA) FA profiles, sensory traits, retail display. HI were reared two different substrates: layer mash (HI1) 50:50 mash/fish offal (HI2). A total 300 10-day-old quails allocated to three dietary groups (five replicates/each): a soybean meal-based diet was formulated...

The present experiment compared the proximate composition, amino acid content, and profile of breast meat a commercial broiler hybrid (Hybrid-Normal) vs. affected by simultaneous presence white striping (WS) wooden (WB) myopathies (Hybrid-WSWB) Italian purebred Polverara chicken (Polverara). To this purpose, total n = 30 cuts from male chickens/group were subjected to quality evaluations. Chickens slaughtered at their age. breed showed highest protein (P < 0.0001) lowest lipids contents,...

The increased demand for chicken meat products has led to chickens with growth rates and heavier slaughter weights. This had unintentional negative effects on the genetics of these animals, such as spontaneous, idiopathic muscle abnormalities. There also been a shift in customer preference towards from alternative farming systems organic free-range. Indigenous purebred chickens, Polverara, show potential they are adapted more extensive systems. aim present study was characterize quality...

The present study compared certain quality features and sensory attributes of the meat obtained from three different chicken genotypes: two endangered slow-growing indigenous breeds (Padovana: PAD, Polverara: POL) a commercial broiler (Hybrid). Chickens (n = 42/genotype) were slaughtered at their slaughter age: 183 days for PAD POL chickens, 35 Hybrid. Breast leg dissected used qualitative evaluations. Results highlighted that genotype significantly affected final breast weight, with Hybrid...

The present research studied the effect of dietary inclusion 3 different camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz) cakes on live performance, slaughter traits, and breast meat quality broiler quails (Coturnix japonica). With this purpose, a total 480 fifteen-day-old both sexes were allocated to 48 cages (12 replicates/treatment, 10 quails/replicate) received 4 treatments: control diet (Control), diets containing 15% 1 commercial cultivar (Calena), 2 improved lines (Pearl: low linoleic acid;...

This research is aimed at improving the fatty acid profile of Hermetia illucens larvae and evaluating effect its inclusion on apparent nutrient digestibility, feed choice, growth performance slaughter traits growing broiler quails ( Coturnix coturnix japonica ). H. (IM) were reared two different substrates: layer mash (IM1) 50:50 mash:fish offal (IM2). For digestibility choice trials, a total sixty 16-day-old assigned to three dietary groups: commercial diet (Control=C), including 10% IM1...

Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) pupae are a by-product derived from silk production, which is often treated as waste and thus discarded: this can cause serious environmental problems loss of nutrients. rich source protein lipids, the resulting meal provide promising outcomes livestock feed, notably for monogastric species. However, one possible issue that needs to be considered implication 1-Deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ), bio-compound silkworm impairs glucose absorption, in poultry nutrition....

The present study investigated the in vitro digestibility of diets for broiler chickens (Ross308) and laying Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica). contained unconventional feedstuffs such as silkworm (Bombyx mori) meal (SWM) meals obtained from different Camelina sativa lines (Pearl Alan, characterized by reduced linoleic acid glucosinolates content, respectively). An technique was tested order to assess its potential replacing vivo studies. To test this, digestive tracts fifty four hundred...
