Abstract

To find out the effect of feed materials on the nutrient composition of Protaetia brevitarsis larvae (Pbl), three different feed materials were prepared and fed to the Pbl populations. After the Pbl population reached the third instar stage, they were boiled and dried for the nutrient analysis. The results showed that the nutrient composition of Pbl varied in response to the feed materials. Therefore, it is critical to set a feed material standard to guarantee the efficacy of Pbl medicinal property.
