GRP, larvae provided with the control diet (glutinous rice powder) during depuration (control group); FD1-FD3, larvae provided with formulated diets 1-3 during depuration (formulated-diet groups).
All values are mean±SD (n=2, % w/w).
All values are expressed on a dry matter (DM) basis. Carbohydrate was calculated by difference [100 - (crude protein + crude fat + crude ash)].
NS, not significant differences were observed among treatment groups for any variable in this table by one-way ANOVA (p>0.05).
