Amino acid digestibility of insect meals and effects on key bacterial groups in excreta of caecectomised laying hens

In conclusion, the chemical composition and AA digestibility varied among insect meals based on insect species and life stage. The high level of AA digestibility of insect meals supports the assessment that insect meals are a suitable feed component for laying hens, but differences in AA digestibility should be considered in diet formulation.PMID:37338106 | DOI:10.1080/1745039X.2023.2219178
