Nutritional value of Tenebrio molitor larvae meal for broiler chickens: metabolizable energy and standardized ileal amino acid digestibility

Summary: Two experiments were conducted to determine the nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) (experiment 1) and the standardized ileal digestibility coefficients (SIDC) of amino acids (AA) (experiment 2) of Tenebrio molitor larvae meal (TM) for broilers. In experiment 1, 48 21-da...
