Abstract The structure and functionality of digestive system gastrointestinal microbiota composition play a crucial role in the development tract gut morphology. A well-developed will have proper balanced proportion between beneficial harmful microbes; therefore, this balance promote nutrient utilization stimulate immune system. living an animal’s can be modulated through feeding prebiotic or probiotic compounds which effects on humoral immunity, hence improving thus growth performance overall health condition animal. Therefore, review aimed to provide comprehensive understanding recent reports insect meal poultry feed at status production. literature search was performed with electronic database Directory Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Research gate, Web Science, Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed. In addition, recently published manuscripts were selected, citations included articles from databases used for other relevant articles. studies evaluated, level evidence varied types, inclusion levels, supplementing method. Extensive research has shown that insects safely feeds modulate without compromising production parameters quality produce. Insects directly fed chickens processed into meals supplemented diet. Nonetheless, most literatures done are focused commercial chicken breeds little attention is given species; more recommended ascertain these findings.
