Interest in incorporating insect meal in piglet feed

All livestock sectors are seeking to reduce imports of raw protein materials. Insect meals belong to the category of concentrated protein sources, but their nutritional characteristics are poorly documented and attempts to incorporate them into swine feed have been the subject of few publications.

Figure 1. Graphical example of the meaning of a limiting amino acid based on Liebig's law. The protein is the barrel and the amino acids are the individual staves that make up the barrel. The capacity of the barrel is limited by the shortest stave just as the growth of the pig is limited by the least available amino acid.
