Popis: The study determined the effects of feeding black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) on serum corticosterone (CORT), heat shock protein (HSP) 70, d-lactic acid (DLA), diamine oxidase (DAO) levels, gut health and performance in heat-stressed broiler chickens. Three hundred sixty-day-old male broiler chicks were assigned to BSFLM inclusion at 0% (D0) (12 replicate cages with 10 birds/cage), 5% (D5) (12 replicate cages with 10 birds/cage) or 10% (D10) (12 replicate cages with 10 birds/cage). From days 22 to 35, birds from each dietary group were exposed to either heat stress (heated) at 32 ± 1 °C for 6 h (1100 − 1700 h) or 24 ± 1 °C throughout. There were six replicate cages with 10 birds/cage per diet-temperature subgroup. Diet had no significant effect (p > 0.05) on growth performance or mortality rate. The CORT of the heated DO chickens were elevated (p
