The global drive towards sustainability and improved animal health
means there is a greater need for development of novel functional
ingredients for the feed industry. As the requirements for protein
for livestock feed and human consumption grows, the use of insect
products as animal feed has gained increasing attention. Covering
global production systems of insect protein, oil and chitin, as
well as co-products from this industry, this book: - Considers
in-depth nutritional and safety aspects of insects for feed. -
Reviews suitability of insects as feed for different animal species
and life stages. - Examines current knowledge of the value of
insect-rearing residues as biofertilizers for crop health. -
Identifies the challenges related to regulation, legislation,
consumer perception and acceptance, and commercialization of
insects. - Provides interviews with established and early-stage
innovative companies producing insect protein for feed. Including a
focus on practices such as waste valorization, this book takes a
holistic look at how insects could contribute to the sustainability
of livestock production on a global scale. Providing an up-to-date
reference for research scientists, nutritionists, and
veterinarians, as well as prospective insect farmers, it will also
be of interest to those with a broader curiosity towards climate
change, sustainability, and the circular economy.
