Comparative evaluation of Acheta domesticus and Hermetia illucens as alternative protein sources for the growth, health, and meat quality of the broiler by Farwa Mustafa, Asif Sajjad, Muhammad Sajjad, Mudssar Ali, Hafiza Sehrish Bashir, Muhammad Ghazanfar Abbas, Muhammad Binyameen, Raimondas Mozūratis, Raimondas Mozūratis

“…ResultsThe broilers fed 12% A. domesticus, or 12% H. illucens had significantly higher ((p 0.05) live weight, average daily weight gain, and improved feed conversion ratio than the broilers fed basal (SBM) diet throughout starter, grower, and finisher phases. Hematology (complete blood count and serum biochemistry traits) and intestinal morphology (villus height, villus width, crypt depth, and villus height-to-crypt depth ratio) of the broilers improved when fed on 12% A. domesticus and 12% H. illucens meals as compared to the control group (p < 0.05). …”
