The full fat mealworms meal as a broiler chicken's feed
Original language description
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether mealworms meal is appropriate feed for fast growing chickens. The experiment was carried out with 96 Ross 308 male chickens. The trial was performed from day 12 to day 38 of chick's age. Broilers were divided into three equal groups. The two experimental groups received feed mixtures containing 2% (MM2; n = 32) and 5% (MM5; n = 32) of yellow mealworms (Tenebrio molitorL.) meal (MM). The third group (MM0; n = 32) was a control group which had 0% of mealworms meal in diet. The broilers from mealworms meal free group achieved higher live weight at the end of trial, higher feed consumption and higher breast meat yield compared to groups with 2% and 5% mealworms in diet. From the chicken growth point of view the inclusion of mealworms meal does not seem to have a positive effect on their growth.
