    Abstract : The conventional tube-and-wing aircraft has been around since the 1950s, with little to no innovative progress being made towards redesigning the conventional aircraft.

  4. 3. Feeding the 45 million : substituting soybean protein with insect protein within EU poultry and egg production

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Douglas Hunter; [2019]
    Keywords : insects; insect production; livestock feed; entomophagy; land use; futures research; food security; energy security; black soldier fly; mealworm; house cricket; sustainable development;

    Abstract : A global population increasing both in number and in resource consumption per capita has resulted in food, livestock feed and energy crop demands that are increasingly difficult to meet on rapidly degrading soils within a diminishing available area of arable land. With further expansion of agricultural land infeasible and yield increases through further intensification insufficient to meet the scale of predicted crop demand, the use of insects as an animal feed has gained traction as a method of not only reducing competition for arable land, but also some of the detrimental environmental consequences of livestock and conventional feed production.

  6. 5. Nutritional value of some insects and their impact on post weaning diarrhoea caused by Escherichia coli

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Therese Schönborg; [2017]
    Keywords : black soldier fly; house cricket; mealworm larvae; chitin; chitosan;

    Abstract : Insects like Black soldier fly (Hermetia Illucens), Mealworm larvae (Tenebrio Molitor) and House cricket (Acheta Domesticus) are of interest as possible sources of protein to be fed to monogastic animals like pigs and poultry, as they are all thought to have nutrient compositions similar to soybean- or fish meal. This is of interest as the demand for high quality protein is increasing in time with the growing world population. READ MORE
