Nutrients values in insects.

Hope you can get to this Site from the info I'm posting...can't cut and paste the actual Site from my playbook....
Google organicvaluerecoverysolutions AND insects and go to the third Site listed. It has great info on the nutrient content of insects.

I believe this is the page you're referring to:
http://www.organicvaluerecovery.com/studies/studies_nutrient_content_of_insects.htm

What is very interesting are their conclusions, which completely support what has often been said here; Feeder variety with a good gutload are the keys to proper nutrition.

There are some really good insights into the hows and whys.

It would seem quite possible that chams become sick of a particular food (hunger strikes) and seek out more variety as an instinctual way of trying to prevent deficiencies or imbalances.

This one is a real gem, Kinyonga. Thanks for sharing it!

This looks fabulous! I looked through Web of Knowledge via my university, and Mark Finke has published quite a number of articles on his research into feeder insects.

Great find! Thanks so much for sharing it!
