In the last decade, the global industrialized insect farming has increased, aiming to deliver the market with large amounts of insect-derived products for feed purposes (van Huis, 2022). The demand for insect protein will rise from 120,000 metric tons to 500,000 metric tons by 2030, according to an estimation by De Jong and Nikolik (2021) in a RABO Bank report. According to the report, the price of a metric ton of insect protein will decrease from EUR 3,500 to 5,500 during the scale-up phase (2020) to EUR 1,500 to 2,500 during the maturity phase (2030), making insect protein more competitive with conventional protein sources. During this transition period, the main market for insect protein, or so-called insect meal, is pet food and aquaculture but pets’ share of the total market will fall from 54% in 2020 to 30% in 2030, while aquafeed’s share will rise from 17 to 40%, resulting in 200,000 metric tons in 2030, which is still only 1% of the total aquafeed market. Currently, research is focusing on additional values beyond the nutritional value in the protein transition concept. Insect-derived specific compounds such as chitin, antimicrobial peptides, and medium-chain fatty acids (mainly lauric acid) have the ability for antibacterial and immunomodulating effects. Research is also focusing to make insects as feed more sustainable in a circular economy model. In EU insects can only be fed with materials of vegetal origin and some materials of animal origin such as milk, eggs and their products, honey, rendered fat, or blood products from non-ruminant animals (Reg.(EU) 2022/1104). Circularity and sustainability can be given a boost if slaughterhouse or rendering derived-products, catering waste, and unsold products from supermarkets or food industries containing meat or fish will be allowed to feed the insects, once proven to be safe. These waste sources cannot be fed directly to monogastric animals and this makes insects more essential in the food chain as insects convert these waste sources into highly valuable insectderived products which can be applied in animal nutrition. This review aims to describe the interest in applying insects in the circular economy, the production process, the nutritional and health properties of insect meals (in particular of the main insect species used for feed purposes), and the main performance results obtained with aquaculture and monogastric livestock species fed insect meals. A short overview of the interest in insect frass is also discussed. Finally, some challenges and main prospects are presented.","PeriodicalId":72200,"journal":{"name":"Animal frontiers : the review magazine of animal agriculture","volume":"13 4","pages":"81-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/f5/dc/vfad016.PMC10425148.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10366912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Australia is suited to insect production given the climate and strong history in agricultural production and research, with a valuable global reputation for producing safe food products. According to AgriFutures, the Australian insect protein industry has the potential to reach $10 million per annum within the next 5 years (Nolet, 2020), although to date the industry is emerging and remains relatively small, with limited research input compared to Europe and the United States. No doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic has driven delays in development due to disruptions to research and research output, changes to supply chains, and access to national and international products and experts. As such, the insect industry in Australia is entering a time where significant drive, investment, research, and outputs are required to advance this industry. Given the national and international interest in insect rearing and the renewed focus on sustainability, this is achievable, and it is likely that insect protein production in Australia will increase in the coming decade. In previous reviews we have covered the potential role of insect protein in Australian feed and food markets (DiGiacomo et al., 2019; DiGiacomo and Leury, 2019). This review will update (but not repeat) these previous reviews and examine the current state of insect protein research and production in Australia.","PeriodicalId":72200,"journal":{"name":"Animal frontiers : the review magazine of animal agriculture","volume":"13 4","pages":"8-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10425136/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10388296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
