Black soldier fly larvae: a one health approach to investigate gut, and organ health and meat quality response in slow-growing chickens

Table 6 Fatty acids composition (%) and atherogenicity (AI) and thrombogenicity (TI) indices of breast fillet of an autochthonous slow-growing chicken breed fed a basal diet (C) supplemented with dehydrated (DL) or live (LL) black soldier fly larvae slaughtered at 147 and 174 days of age (means, n = 12)
