Abstract The commercial broiler chicken strains are the result of successful selection programmes. Most problems related to welfare arise from high growth rate and body weight. use environmental enrichments in intensive farming could have a positive effect on birds by increasing animal welfare. aim study was evaluate effects Hermetia illucens (HI) Tenebrio molitor (TM) live larvae diets chickens performance, carcass yield health status.

The use of insect live larvae as environmental enrichment has recently been proposed in broiler chickens, but the concomitant administration black soldier fly (BSF) and yellow mealworm (YM) never tested yet. Therefore, present study aims to evaluate effects BSF YM enrichments for chickens by means plumage status, behaviour, leg health, excreta corticosterone metabolites (CM). A total 180 4-day old male Ross 308 were randomly distributed 3 experimental treatments (6 replicates/treatment, 10...
