YMM = yellow mealworm meal; SBM = soybean meal; IgM = immunoglobulin M; C3 = complement 3; C4 = complement 4; ACP = acid phosphatase; AKP = alkaline phosphatase.

Different superscripts were used to show statistical differences at P < 0.05.

SBM was substituted by YMM at 0% (SBM), 25% (H25), 50% (H50), 75% (H75) and 100% (H100), respectively.
