Effects of dietary replacement of fish meal by defatted black soldier fly larvae on growth performance, blood profiles, immune response, and diarrhea incidence in weaning pigs
In weaning pig diets, defatted BSF larvae can substitute up to 50% of FM without negatively affecting immunological response, blood metabolites, or performance. These encouraging results imply that BSF larvae may be a viable and efficient substitute for FM in pig diets.
