Abstract

BSF larvae have a high growth rate and optimal feed conversion and can be well utilized of various types of material as a food source including decomposed organic matter. BSF larvae have amino acid compositions that resemble the amino acid composition of soybean meal or fish meal so that they can function as (antibiotic growth promoters-AGP). AGP aims to maintain the health of the digestive tract of poultry so that feed conversion becomes more efficient and growth performance can be optimal. This study aims to obtain the best type of BSF protein to improve egg quality physically and chemically and the effect of BSF on lipid metabolism. The results of this study indicated that treatment of T3 was the best physically egg quality and chemically egg quality of-laying hens with the use of BSF because it contained protein extract was quite high compared to other treatments. The results of the analysis of blood lipid metabolism that the treatment of live BSF (T1) has the lowest average value, this proved that live BSF was able to reduce the fat content in the blood of laying hens.
