Applying nutritional ecology to optimize diets of crickets raised for food and feed

Applying nutritional ecology to optimize diets of crickets raised for food and feed

Increasing yield is a primary goal of mass insect rearing for food and feed, and diet impacts insect life-history traits that affect yield, such as survival, development time and body size. However, experiments rarely test the nutritional requirements of insects from hatch to adulthood, and so littl...
