Sustainable Rearing of Tenebrio molitor Larvae Using Peatland Biomass

2026Open accessMansoura University

Abstract

< 0.05). Larvae fed the 10% LPRP diet showed slightly higher crude protein content (55.8%) compared to the control group (54.8%) and the other treatment groups, whereas those fed the 30% LPRP diet had the highest numerical total amino acid content. Taken together, these results indicate that incorporating 10% LPRP with DDGS and WB provides the best overall balance between growth performance and nutritional quality for TM larvae, supporting sustainable production and circular economy goals.
