چکیده
Increasing pressure on the world’s livestock production sector has stirred interest towards exploration of insects as an alternative feed source. We examined potential wild-caught mosquitoes, harvested from rice-fields, to be utilised poultry feed. Three mosquito species were identified in high abundance, namely Aedes caspius, Anopheles hyrcanus, and Culex pipiens, their nutritional microbiological profile was assessed at species-level mixed samples collected two different seasons (summer 2020 2021). Their evaluated based protein, fat, moisture ash content, fatty acid mineral profile, antioxidant activity. The each by measuring population total viable count, Enterobacteriaceae, lactic bacteria, coagulase-positive Staphylococci. Obtained values compared common edible conventional feedstuff. All presented overall promising composition, stable between harvest seasons. Mosquitoes’ protein fat content ranged 54 62% 16 28%, respectively. statistically significant differences certain cases; hyrcanus had highest (61.8% dry weight basis; dwb) (45.9% ability scavenge DPPH radical). rich minerals, containing concentrations calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, minerals essential for development. GC/MS revealed a unsaturated character (65.2–71.5%), predominance palmitic (23.8–30.4%), palmitoleic (28.5–37.0%), oleic (18.3–29.1%) acids, well presence linolenic (1.4–5.2%) eicosipentanoic (1.5–2.4%) acids. microorganisms confirmed across all species, levels comparable fresh food soil farmed insects. Mosquitoes rice-fields exhibited highly nutritious, even superior feedstuff insects, showing components.

Methanol extracts of different plants namely, Trichodesma africanum (Boraginaceae), Cleome rupicola (Capparceae) and Ochradenus baccatus (Resedaceae), were tested for larvicidal activity against 4 instar larvae of Aedes caspius and Culex pipiens mosquitoes. All plant extracts tested against Ae. caspius showed 100% mortality at 10μg/ml except the stem of O. baccatus which showed 90% mortality. H...
