Abstract

|
|
To study the domestic and foreign status of insects in animal feed, we summarized the productivity and possibility related to the utilization of insects as alternative protein feed in livestock production and aquaculture. Insects are reported to have high nutritional value and are rich source of proteins, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and fibers. In addition, they are low-cost and environmentally friendly, and can replace imported expensive resources such as fish and soybean meal. Furthermore, insects can be fed animal manure and food waste, including kitchen and agricultural waste, for breeding. These factors make insects an attractive source of animal feed. Since 2011, research on insects as products for animal feed increased rapidly but has recently shown a steady decline. However, the insect industry is steadily developing. Moreover, the ‘Control of Livestock and Fish Feed Act’ is being revised to revitalize the insect industry, and insect-based feed products are being released. This review will provide the current status of insects as an alternative resource in feed products, and ongoing research and projects. We will further discuss the prospect of the insect industry with these inputs.
