TOPICS
ABSTRACT
The feedstock market is changing in response to the increasing
demand for lipid and protein sources, alongside the pursuit of more sustainable
agriculture. As a result, alternative nutrient sources are being extensively
studied. Insects have gained attention as a promising feed material due to
their high protein digestibility, favourable amino acid and lipid profiles, as well
as nutraceutical potential. However, studies on their utilisation often neglect
the health status of insects, which may influence feed quality and the health
of animals consuming it. This review examines the potential of insects as
a feed material considering their fat and protein content, amino acid profiles,
potential application in bioconversion, controversies surrounding their
consumption, regulatory frameworks, and the potential of synanthropic species
as bioindicators. Regarding the lack of standardised methods for monitoring
the health and welfare of these ‘small livestock’ and experimental models,
we assessed the applicability of biochemical assays commonly employed in
toxicological studies. Based on our evaluation, we identified and selected most
suitable parameters for the purpose under discussion.
