Short summary
A total of 1000 Ross-308 broilers were evenly divided into four groups. One group served as a control and was fed a basal diet, while three experimental groups were given diets with soybean replacement at 10%, 20% and 30%. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in growth performance, nutrient digestibility, hematology, serum metabolites and organoleptic characteristics. Consequently, it can be concluded that maggot meal can be included in the broiler diet up to 30%.
