Resumo: | Insects represent a promising alternative source to more expensive components of the feeding regimen of farm animals for meat production. With this aim in mind, we conducted this experiment to investigate the effects of dried larvae of darkling beetles (Zophobas morio L.) and larvae of wax moths (Galleria mellonella L.) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and blood profiles in growing piglets. A total of 27 crossbred piglets ((LWхL)хD), 39 days of age and 14.39±0.19 kg of body weight) were randomly divided into three groups (n=9 per group) based on gender and body weight. We substituted part of a fishmeal and a grain with 2.5% of dried larvae of darkling beetles (Zophobas morio L.) or with 3.0% of dried larvae of wax moths (Galleria mellonella L.). The replacement of fishmeal with insect biomass in the feeding regimen of the pigs did not change growth rate among groups and did not altered the digestibility of dry matter, crude protein and crude fiber (p ˃ 0.05). At the same time, the digestibility of the fat has increased in the experimental groups with dry larvae (p ≤ 0.05). Blood counts in all groups were within the physiological norm. As compared to control group, piglets of the experimental groups had an increase in bactericidal, lysozyme activity of the blood serum and phagocytic activity of neutrophils. Thus, supplementation of dry larvae of superworm or waxworm in the ration didn’t affect negatively growth performance of experimental piglets while improving their parameters of non-specific immunity. |

Com este objectivo em mente, realizámos esta experiência para investigar os efeitos das larvas secas de escaravelhos escuros (Zophobas morio L.) e larvas de traças de cera (Galleria mellonella L.) no desempenho de crescimento, digestibilidade dos nutrientes e perfis sanguíneos em leitões em crescimento. Um total de 27 leitões cruzados ((LWхL)хD), 39 dias de idade e 14,39±0,19 kg de peso corporal) foram divididos aleatoriamente em três grupos (n=9 por grupo) com base no sexo e peso corporal. Substituímos parte da farinha de peixe e grãos por 2,5% de larvas secas de escaravelhos escuros (Zophobas morio L.) ou por 3,0% de larvas secas de mariposas cera (Galleria mellonella L.). A substituição da farinha de peixe por biomassa de insectos no regime alimentar dos porcos não alterou a taxa de crescimento entre grupos e não alterou a digestibilidade da matéria seca, proteína bruta e fibra bruta (p ˃ 0.05). Ao mesmo tempo, a digestibilidade da gordura aumentou nos grupos experimentais com larvas secas (p ≤ 0,05). A contagem de sangue em todos os grupos estava dentro da norma fisiológica. Em comparação com o grupo de controlo, os leitões dos grupos experimentais tiveram um aumento na actividade bactericida, lisozima do soro sanguíneo e actividade fagocitária dos neutrófilos. Assim, a suplementação de larvas secas de supervermesas ou lombrigas de cera na ração não afectou negativamente o desempenho de crescimento dos leitões experimentais, melhorando ao mesmo tempo os seus parâmetros de imunidade não específica.EDUFU2022-08-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/5957210.14393/BJ-v38n0a2022-59572Bioscience Journal ; Vol. 38 (2022): Continuous Publication; e38054Bioscience Journal ; v. 38 (2022): Continuous Publication; e380541981-3163reponame:Bioscience journal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/59572/34445Russian Federation; ContemporaryCopyright (c) 2022 Roman Vladimirovich Nekrasov, Magomed Gazievich Chabaev, Elena Yurievna Tsis, Darya Alexandrovna Nikanova, Gennady Anatolyevich Ivanovhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNekrasov, Roman VladimirovichChabaev, Magomed GazievichTsis, Elena YurievnaNikanova, Darya AlexandrovnaIvanov, Gennady Anatolyevich2022-09-23T14:36:36Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/59572Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournalPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/oaibiosciencej@ufu.br||1981-31631516-3725opendoar:2022-09-23T14:36:36Bioscience journal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
