Abstract

This review was commenced to high spot the potential of insect based protein rations in monogastric livestock and consumers as technical substitute for the increasingly expensive fish based protein diets. A systematic literature review was carried out targeting original articles evaluating the utilization of insect based diets for livestock taking broiler poultry as a case study. The authors performed a systematic search using Pubmed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases (published in a period from 1994 to January 2023 to identify the studies that reported the association between performance parameters and levels of substituition of insects based proteins for fish.
