Increasing calcium levels in cultured insects

Abstract 10.1002/(SICI)1098-2361(2000)19:13.3.CO;2-6 Low calcium (Ca) contents and low calcium:phosphorus (Ca:P) ratios of mealworm larvae and house crickets can result in imbalances of Ca and phosphorus (P) in diets of avian species when these insects form more than a minor proportion of the diet. Appropriate dietary Ca and Ca:P levels are particularly important for normal growth […]
