Popis: In 30 years, the consumption of livestock products is expected to increase by 60-70%, which will require huge resources. Traditional feeds such as soybean meal and fishmeal are very expensive and moreover, their availability will be limited in the future. In addition, every year the world’s population is growing, more and more raw materials are needed to feed people, and raising livestock requires large financial costs. The solution to this problem can be the cultivation of acrid for the purpose of adding to food and feed for farm animals, birds and fish. Studies have already been conducted by some scientists to evaluate insects, insect larvae or their meal as an ingredient in the diets of certain animal species. This article describes methods for collecting locusts in natural conditions, methods for growing locusts in greenhouse conditions, and methods and methods for conducting research on the chemical composition of locusts collected in natural habitats. It is expected that the locusts harvested in the wild can be added to feed for farm animals, birds and fish after some treatment, and specially grown locusts can be added to food.
