aApparent ileal digestibility of AAs (based on pigs) calculated with digestibility coefficients of AAs in SBM, CAS, DWP, and WGM as listed by CVB (25). Gross AA composition is shown here for YMW-based diet. Here, SBM, soybean meal; CAS, casein; DWP, delactosed whey powder; SDPP, spray-dried plasma protein, WGM, wheat gluten meal; YMW, yellow mealworm; AA, amino acid.
