Abstract
The aim of this present study was to evaluate the effects of local feed resources in diets on the nutritional composition and growth parameters of the crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus De Geer). Five treatments were as follows; T1= soybean meal (SBM) 30 % in diet, crude protein (CP) 21.0%; T2= SBM 15 % + cassava leave powder (CLP) (CP 18.0%); T3= CLP 30% (15.0% CP); T4= SBM 15 % + mulberry leave powder (MLP) (CP 18.0%), T5= MLP 30% (15.0% CP). The experimental design was completely randomized design (CRD). Feed conversion ratio and survival rate were similar among treatments (P>0.05). Fed cricket on CLP 30% and/or MLP 30% had the lowest cost of feeding per kg live weight gain (P<0.05). Fed crickets on SBM 30 % had the highest amount of protein (76.2%) and fat (14.8%). Moreover, fed cricket on MLP 15% and MPL 30% increased vitamin B2 and B12 (P<0.05). Fed cricket on SBM 30 % in diet also had the highest amount of phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. Crickets can effectively be produced on CLP or MLP 30 % in diet to reduce cost of feeding.
