Summary in the original language of the document
Effects of live larvae provision on poultry chemical blood parameters have been poorly investigated.
This study aims to evaluate the changes in blood chemistry parameters in medium-growing chickens
supplemented black soldier fly (BSF) live larvae. Two hundred and forty 21d old sexed Label Naked
Neck birds were divided into 4 experimental groups: females fed basal organic feed (BOF), males fed
BOF, females fed BOF + 10% BSF live larvae supplementation based on the expected daily feed
intake (DFI) and males fed BOF + 10% BSF live larvae supplementation based on the DFI (6
replicates/diet, 10 birds/replicate). Blood samples were collected at slaughter (82d old) from 2
birds/pen (12 birds/treatment). Serum samples were used for biochemical analysis. A compact liquid
chemistry analyzer system (BT 1500 vet–Futurlab) was used to determine the concentrations of
alanine aminotransferase (U/I), aspartate aminotransferase (U/I), creatinine total proteins (mg/dl), uric
acid (mg/dl), cholesterol (mg/dl), triglycerides (mg/dl), gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT, U/I),
phosphorus (mg/dl) and magnesium (mg/dl). Data were analyzed by GLMM (SPSS software, P<0.05).
Overall, the blood parameters were not affected by the live larvae supplementation (P>0.05) in both
sexes, thus being indicative of a good health status of the birds. Moreover, the GGT was detected in
lower concentrations in the supplemented groups than in the control groups (P<0.05), suggesting a
positive effect on the hepatic function. In conclusion, the live BSF larvae provision did not negatively
affect the blood parameters of medium-growing chickens and could be beneficial for bird hepatic
activity.
