INSECT PROTEIN AS A STEP TOWARDS ZERO-WASTE PRODUCTION OF ANIMAL FEED

The article discusses the possibility of using insect proteinbased feeds for monogastric farm animals. The author describes the course of the experiment on adding flour from Hermetia illucens larvae to the diet of dogs and concludes that objective animal observation data (assessment of health, feed consumption, body weight, skin turgor and hair quality) indicate the safety and prospects of using insect protein to produce zero-waste feed.
