This study aims to determine how much the use of BSF larvae meal in substituting fish meal for consumption, weight gain and feed conversion in quails. This study used 200 7-day-old female quails that were kept for 6 weeks 42 days with an average initial weight of ± 23 grams. This study uses a completely randomized design (CRD), which consists of 4 treatments and 5 replications. Using experimental ration: P0 Ration without addition of BSF larvae meal; P1 = BSF larvae meal 3.183% (6.67% crude protein of fish meal); P2 = BSF larvae meal 6.370% (3.34% crude protein of fish meal); P3 = BSF larvae meal 9.565% (0% crude protein of fish meal). The parameters measured were the amount of consumption, weight gain, quail carried out every week during the study and feed conversion rate as an indicator of the efficiency of ration use. The results showed that ration consumption and weight gain and feed conversion did not significant affect (P> 0.05) meaning substitution of fish meal with BSF larvae meal until P3 could be carried out without negatively affecting the performance of quails. ## Keywords - Fish meal - Hermetia illucens - Meal - Feed conversion ratio - Quail - Biology - Weight gain - Animal science - Food science - Larva - Fish - Body weight - Fishery - Ecology - Endocrinology --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
