Fish Meal Replacement

Fish farming faces the challenge of the high cost of feeds because of the cost of high-quality protein like fish meal required in food formulations. Therefore, the need for alternative protein sources is much needed. Black soldier larvae (Hermetia illucens) are alternative feed containing high protein. BSF larvae contain high protein levels (42.7% dry matter; DM). Fish diets should contain 32% to 45% protein content. Therefore, it can be a substitute for a fish meal. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of freshwater fish meal replacement with black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) on the growth rate of Clarias gariepenus fingerling.  The effect of freshwater fish meal replacement with black soldier fly larvae (BSFLM) was investigated. This study involved the cultivation of Clarias gariepenus fingerling given BSFLM and a commercial diet. The results showed a difference between the weight gains of C. gariepenus, which were 6.46g in BSFLM, while the commercial diet was 1.9g during 28 days of experiments. There was also  no significant difference (p <.05) in the mean weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), and survival rate. Using BSFLM as an alternative source of protein in fish farming can reduce costs in the aquaculture industry without changing its quality.

Abstract Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) meal-based diet is an innovative strategy for sustainable 24 aquaculture. In the present study, black soldier fly larvae meal has shown a promising 25 alternative as a fish meal (FM) replacement in diets for common carp fry. Black soldier fly 26 larvae; a protein, fat and minerals containing non-pest insect, when used as fish feed ingredient 27 minimize feed cost, boost up fish production and tackle environmental hazards. Five feeds were 28 formulated where fish meal was replaced by BSF larvae for nursing of common carp fry. Feeds 29 were prepared by 100 (T1), 75 (T2), 50 (T3), 25 (T4) and 0% (T5) replacement of fish meal with 30 BSF larvae as a protein and minerals supplement. Among the feeds T3 performed better than 31 T1. Most of the common carp fry were healthy and robust in treatment T1 and T3 where %weight 32 gain was 417.70% and 427.95%, respectively. The lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) was also 33 obtained in treatment T1 (3.54) and T3 (3.42) whereas, higher FCR was found in T4. However, 34 at harvest, the highest fry production was obtained with T1 (3.10 tons/ha/60 days) where 100% 35 fish meal was replaced by BSF larvae. Therefore, 100% fish meal can be replaced by BSFL 36 easily to address the protein scarcity, adulteration and environmental hazards.

Abstract Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) is an alternative protein source for animals, including dogs and cats. The larval diet may affect their nutrient composition and overall nutritional value. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) are common Ca sources, but differ in solubility (CaCO3 is insoluble; CaCl2 is soluble), so their intestinal absorption may differ. In addition, the Ca form and concentration may decrease mineral utilization and nitrogen digestibility, thereby affecting feed conversion efficiency. Our objective was to determine the effects of different forms and concentrations of Ca on true nutrient and amino acid (AA) digestibility of BSFL intended for use in animal feeds using the precision-fed cecectomized rooster assay. All animal procedures were approved by the University of Illinois Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee prior to experimentation. 16 cecectomized roosters (4 roosters/substrate) were randomly assigned to test substrates. All contained 0.2% Ca in the commercial diet and additional Ca in these amounts and forms: BSFLA: 1.33% CaCl2; BSFLB: 1.0% CaCO3; BSFLC: 0.6% CaCO3; BSFLD: 0.5% CaCO3 + 0.7% CaCl2. After 24h of feed withdrawal, roosters were tube-fed 20g of test substrates. Following crop intubation, excreta was collected for 48h. Endogenous corrections for AA were made using 5 additional cecectomized roosters. All data were analyzed using SAS 9.4. True macronutrient and AA digestibilities were not different among substrates. Digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS)-like values were calculated to determine protein quality according to AAFCO and NRC recommended allowances for dogs and cats. Although AA digestibilities did not differ among groups, those containing CaCO3 generally had higher DIAAS-like values than the diet containing CaCl2 alone (BSFLA). Threonine, methionine, and arginine were often the first-limiting AA. Our results suggest that Ca source fed to BSFL did not affect AA digestibility and protein quality, despite affecting total calcium content of the BSFL.

Abstract New ingredients need to be characterized both chemically and in vivo, then compared to commonly-used protein ingredients before they can be considered for use in feeds. The objective of the present study was to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID, %) of amino acids (AA) of partially defatted black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) (49.7% CP; 14.4% crude fat as fed). Subsequently, these results were compared to the SID AA of common protein ingredients in swine feed, fish meal (FM) and soybean meal (SBM) (NRC 2012), and to published full-fat (FF) BSFLM SID values. Six ileal-cannulated barrows (18.03 ± 0.67 kg BW) were used in a 2x2 Latin square design and fed either a nitrogen-free diet (NFD) or BSFLM-containing diet over two 11-d experimental periods. In each period, barrows were adapted for 7 days to the diet and ileal digesta collection was conducted on day 10 and 11 for 8h per day. Basal endogenous AA losses (EAAL) were calculated from pigs fed the NFD and as expected, the ileal AA content were significantly higher for pigs fed the BSFLM diet than NFD (P &lt; 0.05). SID for AA were then calculated based on the obtained EAAL values following Stein et al., 2007. For essential AA, the SID of BSFLM were all above 82%, the highest being Arg (93.76%), followed by Met (91.32%), and Phe (89.80%). The SID of essential AA were on average 5.0% higher in BSFLM than FM, but 2.7% lower than SBM. When compared to the FF BSFLM, SID of essential AA of BSFLM were 1–5% higher, except for Phe and Thr. These results suggest that partially defatted BSFLM is a promising alternative protein ingredient in growing pig diets, which has a more digestible AA profile than FM, only slightly lower than SBM, and comparable to the FF BSFLM.
