Table 6.
Yield (g/larvarium) of dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, and residual organic matter for BSFPs reared on the control (C) or experimental diets (TMD1–TMD3).
| Nutrient Yields | C | TMD1 | TMD2 | TMD3 | SEM | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DMY | 2.57 ± 0.36 | 3.08 ± 0.38 | 2.73 ± 0.3 | 2.77 ± 0.23 | 0.155 | 0.732 |
| CPY | 0.87 ± 0.12 | 0.68 ± 0.09 | 0.96 ± 0.14 | 0.95 ± 0.09 | 0.058 | 0.295 |
| EEY | 0.86 ± 0.13 B | 1.45 ± 0.19 A | 0.87 ± 0.1 B | 0.90 ± 0.08 B | 0.081 | 0.012 |
| ROM | 0.61 ± 0.07 | 0.65 ± 0.09 | 0.63 ± 0.06 | 0.63 ± 0.04 | 0.031 | 0.981 |
DMY = dry matter yield per larvarium; CPY = crude protein yield per larvarium; EEY = ether extract yield per larvarium; ROMY = residual organic matter yield per larvarium; SEM = standard error for the mean. A,B values within a row with different superscripts are significantly different at p < 0.01 TMD1: high-nonfiber carbohydrate content total mixed diet; TMD2: high-fiber content total mixed diet; TMD3: high-protein content total mixed diet.
