Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the feasibility of using black soldier fly larva meal in the diet of layer chickens. A total of 480 healthy 1-day-old Hailan brown layer chickens were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates in each group and 20 replicates in each group. Layer chickens in G0, G3, G6 and G9 groups were fed diets contained 0, 3%, 6% and 9% of the black soldier fly larval meal (made by 15 instar larvae that fed with kitchen waste), respectively. The 4 diets were isonitrogenous and isoenergetic. The experimental period was 42 days. The average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI) and feed/gain(F/G) of each group were measured at 1 to 21 days of age and 1 to 42 days of age, respectively, the tibia length (TL) was measured at 21 and 42 days of age, and the blood samples were collected to measure serum biochemical and antioxidant indexes at 21 and 42 days of age. The results showed as follows:1) the ADG of G3 group at 1 to 21 days of age and 1 to 42 days of age was significantly higher than that of G0 group (P<0.05), the F/G of G3 group at 1 to 21 days of age was significantly lower than that of G0 group (P<0.05). The ADFI at 1 to 21 days of age and 1 to 42 days of age and TL at 21 and 42 days of age were not significantly different among groups (P>0.05). Serum total protein (TP) and globulin (GLOB) contents of G3 and G6 groups were significantly higher than those of G0 group (P<0.05), and serum urea (UN) content of G3 group was significantly higher than that of G0 group (P<0.05), while serum triglyceride (TG) content of G3 and G6 groups was significantly lower than that of G0 group (P<0.05). 3) Serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) at 21 and 42 days of age of G6 and G9 groups was significantly higher than that of G0 group (P<0.05). Compared with G0 group, the activity of serum glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) at 21 and 42 days of age of G3, G6 and G9 groups was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the content of serum malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no significant difference in serum total superoxide dismutase activity at 21 and 42 days of age among groups (P>0.05). In conclusion, under the conditions of this experiment, when equal energy and nitrogen are used to optimize the formula, it is feasible to replace protein feed materials such as soybean meal with the black soldier fly larvae meal to make the diet of layer chickens, and 3% of black soldier fly larvae meal is the best additive.
