![]() T0 rabbits, whereas the PUFA proportions were lower. Furthermore, the proportion of monounsaturated fatty acid was higher in the T2, T3, and T1 groups vs. Moreover, the proportion of total saturated fatty acids in the meat of rabbits that were fed on the T2 and T3 diets was higher compared to those fed on the control (i.e., T0) and T1 diets. The highest values of redness and chroma (color parameter) of rabbit meat were observed in the treatment groups vs. The shear force had a lower value in the treatment groups T3 and T2 compared with the control group. ![]() Fat was higher in the TMF treatment groups, while moisture was lower compared with the control group. Carcass traits were not affected by experimental regimes. ![]() The levels of globulin, glucose, and alanine transaminase (ALT) were lower in the mealworm frass groups compared with the control group. The results indicated that the growth performance of different groups was similar ( P > 0.05). Six rabbits per group were slaughtered at the end of the 11th week, then the pharmacochemical parameters and carcass traits were measured, and meat quality and fatty acid profiles were analyzed. The rabbits were fed on isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets for 11 weeks, and the growth performance data were recorded. A total of 48 Gabali rabbits were divided equally and randomly into four groups to be fed one of four dietary treatments: a control (T0) group and three TMF groups, which included TMF meal at 1 (T1), 2 (T2), and 3 (T3) %, respectively. This study aimed to shed light on the use of mealworm ( Tenebrio molitor) frass (TMF) in rabbit diets and its effects on growth performance, blood profiles, rabbit meat quality, and fatty acid profiles. 4Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, Toluca, Mexico.3Animal Production Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Giza, Egypt. ![]() 2Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Bari A.1Department of Animal Production, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt.Radwan 1, Aristide Maggiolino 2 *, Hanan A.
