The study aims to evaluate the impact of dietary black soldier fly larvae on growth performance, egg production, and microbiota in Yunshang countryside chickens.
Conducted a dietary intervention using black soldier fly larvae protein supplementation.
Assessed growth performance, egg production, and blood biochemical parameters.
Analyzed cecal microbiota diversity and stability under different inclusion levels of BSF larvae.
BSF larvae supplementation reduced the feed-to-egg ratio significantly.
Enhanced egg quality was observed with BSF larvae inclusion.
Optimal inclusion level for BSF larvae was found to be 7.5% for maximum benefits.
Increased abundance of dominant bacterial phyla and genera in the cecum was noted.
