A meta-analysis: Protein level of the substrate affect nutrient, macromineral, and amino acid profiles of maggot

Abstract Protein content of the substrate affects nutritional composition maggot ( Hermetia illucens ). This study aimed to summarize and confirm a wide range findings about effect protein on composition, macrominerals, amino acids maggot. meta-analysis data was acquired from papers indexed by Scopus throughout past decade. The substrate’s concentration used define fixed factor, whereas several studies were incorporated as random factor. selection compilation followed PRISMA-P. high resulted in significant (p<0.05) increase dry matter decrease neutral detergent fiber, but had no macrominerals. predominant characteristics essential non-essential significantly whenever quantities are added substrate. finding implies that improvement nutrient (DM NDF) acid profiles (alanine, aspartic, arginine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, valine)
