| Abstract | The objective of this research was to study the effects of different proportions of black soldier fly meal (BSFM) and commercial feed on the growth parameters, health, and chemical composition of Nile tilapia (average initial weight 400±0.56 mg), using a completely randomized design (CRD). The experiment was divided into 5 treatments with 3 replications as follows: group 1 was commercial feed (control), group 2 was 25% black soldier fly meal with 75% commercial feed (25%-BSFM), group 3 was 50% black soldier fly meal with 50% commercial feed (50%-BSFM), group 4 was 75% black soldier fly meal with 25% commercial feed (75%-BSFM), and group 5 was 100% black soldier fly meal (100%-BSFM). Samples were collected at 30 and 60 days after feeding. The results showed that feeding Nile tilapia with 50%-BSFM significantly increased growth performance, including body weight (BW) and specific growth rate (SGR), while reducing feed conversion ratio (FCR) (P<0.05), without affecting survival rate (SR) (P>0.05). The group fed a diet mixed with black soldier fly larvae affected increasing cholesterol, triglyceride, and total plasma protein levels (P<0.05), as well as increasing triglyceride levels (fish body, fish muscle, and fish liver) and fish lipids, which were consistent with the increasing proportion of black soldier fly larvae (25%-BSFM - 100%-BSFM) (P<0.05). The use of black soldier fly larvae together with commercial diets from 25%-BSFM to 100%-BSFM increased the population of beneficial microbial groups such as Bifidobacteria spp. and reduced the population of Vibrio spp. compared to the control group without black soldier fly larvae (P<0.05). In conclusion, a 50% inclusion of black soldier fly larvae in the diet was the optimal proportion for improving the growth performance, health, and chemical composition of Nile tilapia. |
