Insects are potential substitute for animal proteins considering the current expensive raw feed materials, particularly the protein-based ingredients. These can be grown on agricultural wastes that are in line with circular economy strategies with high reproduction rates, short life cycles, and fast growth rates. Black soldier fly (Hermetica ilucens) larvae (BSFL) and Superworm (Zophobas morio) larvae (SWL) are two insect larvae species that can be grown in different agricultural wastes. The choice as to which substrate can these insect larvae yield a high nutrient quality larva for animal feeding was investigated. Performance of livestock and poultry are also evaluated when given insect larvae as supplement or as part of their diet. Moreover, this study also includes consumer’s perception and acceptability toward consumption of animal-derived foods with inclusion of insect larvae in the animal’s diet.
