TL;DR: In the present study, both plant extracts improved the digestibility of the feeds for broilers and the effect of different additives on digestibility improved the performance slightly, but this effect was not statistically significant.

TL;DR: The diets with 5,000 and 10,000 ppm of formic acid, and with 200 ppm of plant extract based on a blend of oregano, cinnamon, and pepper essential oils were beneficial for improving growth traits and nutrient AID.

TL;DR: The apparent digestibility coefficients of the total tract (CTTAD) of nutrients and the apparent metabolizable energy (AME and AMEn) of two insect larval meals (Tenebrio molitor and Hermetia illucens) for broiler chickens were determined.

TL;DR: Defatted BSF meals can be considered as an excellent source of AME and digestible AA for broilers with a better efficient nutrient digestion and suggested the effective utilization of defatted B SF larvae meal in poultry feed formulation.

TL;DR: When using broiler chickens under conditions of good hygiene, dietary formic acid did not have a clear positive effect on performance, digestibility, intestinal histomorphology or plasma metabolite levels; however, there was a slightpositive effect on the ileal digestibility of nutrients.
