A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) on nutrients digestibility and biochemical parameters of meat type male ducks. Ninetysix, day-old male ducklings were allotted into four dietary treatments with four replicates having six ducklings each in a completely randomized design. The different dietary treatments were fed with 0, 5, 10 and 15 per cent BSFLM as replacement to soya bean meal (SBM). The results showed that inclusion up to 15 per cent did not affect the nutrients digestibility and biochemical parameters of birds except significantly (p<0.05) lower blood serum triglycerides level in all BSFLM fed groups compared to control group.
