The utilization of agricultural byproducts as feed substrates for insect farming offers a promising strategy to enhance sustainability and reduce production costs. This study evaluated the suitability of three isoproteinic sets of diets with 17.3, 22.5 and 27.5% protein content, composed of mixtures of lupin with three other agricultural substrates, i.e. triticale, barley and oats, for the rearing of Alphitobius diaperinus lar...
