Advance of Applications of Hermetia illucens L.Larvae as Feedstock in Pig Production
As the scale of pig farming continues to expand,the sustained growth of meat products is driving the rising demand for animal feed ingredients,especially protein-based feed ingredients.The production of traditional protein feedstocks,including soybean meal and fish meal,requires a lot of natural resources.As a kind of nutrient-rich edible insect,the Hermetia illucens L.larvae is rich in protein,fat and calcium,and the amino acid composition is balanced,rich in glutamate,lysine and valine and other amino acids,which can be used in pig diets instead of protein feed such as soybean meal and fish meal.Hermetia illucens L.larvae show great potential as feed ingredients in pig rearing,which can improve production performance,reduce feed costs,and are environmentally friendly at the same time.The author reviewed the nutritional characteristics of Hermetia illucens L.larvae and its effects on the performance and health of pigs as feed ingredient,so as to provide reference for the application of Hermetia illucens L.as feed materials in pig breeding in the future and provide new ideas for promoting the sustainable development of pig breeding.
