Effects of meal processing of black soldier fly on standardized amino acids digestibility in pigs

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect incorporating black soldier fly (BSF) larvae and its processed form as an alternative source protein fish meal on digestibility amino acids (AA) in weaned pigs. Four cannulated pigs with initial bodyweight 13.25 ± 0.25 kg aged 30 days were subjected a 4 × Latin square design three treatments, well nitrogen-free treatment. diets used for each treatment consisted diet (FM), containing BSF (BSFM), extruded (BSFE). conducted over four stages, total duration 28 days. apparent ileal (AID) higher FM compared BSFM. Among essential AA, AID Arg, His, Leu, Thr BSFM BSFE. A greater Ile Phe observed average AA did not show any difference between treatments. non-essential Ala (<italic>p </italic>= 0.054) Glu (<italic>p</italic> = 0.064) tended be increased standardized (SID) Ile, Leu SID Cys 0.074) In conclusion, processing thermal conditioning techniques utilized showed tendency digestibility. Therefore, when formulating diet, it is important take into account meal.
