Beyond the Alternative Proteins: How Does Fungal-Insect Bioconversion Reshape Nutrient Quality and Functional Value of Animal Feeds?
Abstract: The growing demand for sustainable animal production has intensified interest in fungi and insects as alternative sources of feed protein; however, their nutritional significance extends well beyond simple replacement of conventional protein ingredients. Fungal-insect bioconversion represents an emerging biological platform in which microorganisms and insects can transform low-value biomass into nutritionally and functionally distinct feed resources. This review examines how sequential or integrated fungal and insect bioconversion can reshape the …
