References	Inclusion level (%)	Replacement/Alternative of	Percentage in diet	Poultry type	Results
[82]	0 5 10 15 20	Soybean meal	32%	Ross male commercial broiler chickens	5% HFM improved dressing percentage (p≤0.05) 10% HFM improved breast muscle yield (p≤0.05) 15% HFM improved live weight (p≤0.05), FCR (p≤0.05) and thigh muscle yield (p≤0.05) Muscle amino acids concentrations (p≤0.05)
[96]	0 25 75 100	Fish meal	25%	Isa brown and Nera black layer hens	50% HFM improved the hen day egg production (p≤0.05) and reduced the shell thickness (p≤0.05) 100% HFM reduced the shell weight (p≤0.05)
[79]	0 25 50 75 100	Fish meal	4%	Anak 3,000 broiler chicken	50% HFM reduced the Weight gain (p≤0.05) and Nitrogen retention (p≤0.05) 75% HFM reduced the Protein efficiency ratio (p≤0.05)
[95]	Live larvae	-	-	Free range chickens	Weight gain (p≤0.05) Clutch size (p≤0.05) Hatchability (p≤0.05) Egg weight (p≤0.05) Chick weight (p≤0.05)
