The rising cost of fishmeal threatens aquaculture sustainability, necessitating alternative protein sources. Black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) has emerged as a promising candidate, yet evidence regarding the total substitution of minor fishmeal fraction in Nile tilapia diets remains limited. A 50-day feeding trial...

The study evaluated the potential of defatted black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) as a sustainable alternative to fish meal (FM) in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) diets while promoting organic waste valorisation through a circular economy approach. Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) (Hermetia illucens) were reared...

Poultry farming plays a pivotal role in ensuring food security and rural livelihoods across Sub-Saharan Africa. However, extreme reliance on expensive imported protein feeds, particularly soybean meal and fish meal, severely undermines sector sustainability. This study evaluated the effects of the replacement of the so...
