¹BSFL, 4% DL, and 8% DL represent the treatment diets containing 4% black soldier fly larvae meal, 4% and 8% Drosophila larvae meal (days 1–21), respectively.

²GLU, glucose; TG, triglyceride; TCHO, total cholesterol; UA, uric acid; TP, total protein; ALB, albumin; GLB: globulin; AST, aspartate amino transferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; Ca, calcium; P, phosphorus.

^a–cMeans that rows not sharing the same superscript letter are statistically different (P < 0.05). Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 5).
