This study investigated the effects of supplementing diet a slow-growing autochthonous chicken breed with dehydrated or live Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) on meat quality and sensory attributes. The research, conducted at University Turin, Italy, involved 144 male birds distributed in three experimental groups. control group (C) was fed basal which soybean meal completely substituted alternative ingredients. two groups were administered identical to but supplemented either whole black...
Although camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] is a good source of protein, antioxidants, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, its antinutritional compounds limit use in animal feeding. The aim this study was to verify the effect feeding laying hens with up 20% cake from breeding line containing low level glucosinolates on performance, welfare, eggshell quality. Two hundred forty Hy-Line® 18 51 weeks age were divided into three treatments: control (C), 10% (CAM10), (CAM20). Egg number recorded...
Abstract Background The inclusion of sustainable protein sources in poultry feed has become essential for improving animal welfare livestock production. Black soldier fly larvae are a promising solution due to their high content and However, most research focused on fast-growing breeds, while the effects native such as Bianca di Saluzzo, less explored. This study aimed evaluate impact BSFL supplementation diet slow-growing chickens, with focus growth, intestinal health meat quality final...
Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] is an emerging oilseed crop that attracting interest because of its high environmental adaptability and oil protein quantity quality. Seventeen camelina varieties different geographical origins, sown in the same locality on two sowing dates, were compared for oil, protein, antinutritional compounds meal. ANOVA showed time significantly affected content main fatty acids, whereas 1000-seed weight, glucosinolates (GLSs), trypsin inhibitor (TI),...
The present study explored the effects of substituting maize gluten meal with increasing levels partially defatted black soldier fly larvae (BSFLM) in Muscovy ducks' diets on their caecal microbiota and organic volatile compounds. ducks were divided into four groups, each receiving a diet containing 0%, 3%, 6%, or 9% BSFLM (HI0, HI3, HI6, HI9, respectively). At slaughter (50 days age), samples collected analysed. alpha diversity indexes lower HI9 than HI0 HI3 treatments that did not differ...
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Hermetia illucens (Black soldier fly-BSF) and Tenebrio molitor (Yellow mealworm-YMW) live larvae as a new nutritional model on duck’s gut health, considering histomorphometry, mucin composition, cytokines transcription levels, microbiota. A total 126, 3-days-old, females Muscovy ducks were randomly allotted three dietary treatments (6 replicates/treatment, 7 birds/pen): (i) C: basal diet; (ii) BSF: C + BSF larvae; (iii) YMW: YMW...
Cultivated cardoon (Cynara cardunculus var. altilis L.) is a promising candidate species for the development of plant cell cultures suitable large-scale biomass production and recovery nutraceuticals. We set up protocol Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation, which can be used improvement in frame biorefinery. As high lignin content determines lower saccharification yields biomass, we opted biotechnological approach, with purpose reducing content; generated transgenic lines...
