<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Protein is the fundamental basis for human physiological activities. The growing global population and rising living standards are driving a continuous increase in the demand for protein. However, it is a challenge for traditional industries to meet this demand. Consequently, the development of novel high-quality protein resources has become a research hotspot in the food and feed industries. As the largest and most diverse group of organisms on Earth, insects represent an excellent source of high-quality protein. This paper provides a comprehensive review of insect protein, including its resource advantages, extraction methods, current applications, limiting factors for development, and future prospect. The paper aims to provide comprehensive and in-depth insights and references for the further advancement of the insect protein industry.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Resource insects are not only abundant in protein and other essential nutrients, but also rich in functional active substances, which exert positive effects on animal health. Five hundreds of them have been identified as usable for feed development. With the continuous growth of human demand for animal protein, poultry has gained recognition from consumers due to its advantages such as low feed conversion rate, short life cycle, high land use efficiency, rich nutritional value, and so on. However, in order to meet the increasing demand, the poultry industry is confronted with the difficulty of a lack of sustainable feed sources. This review demonstrates that the major potential feed insect species among resource insects are rich in protein with a well-balanced amino acid profile and high fatty acid content, while the dominant fatty acid components vary across different species. In addition, these insects are abundant in antimicrobial peptides, chitin, mineral elements, etc.. Meanwhile, it further clarifies the supplementation of these major potential feed insects in poultry diets can improve growth performance, meat quality and egg quality, as well as enhance the immune function of poultry. Finally, the current status of the utilization and industrialization of resource insects in the poultry industry is summarized, and their application prospects and critical role in the overall circular agricultural are prospected.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[China faces significant pressure in managing approximately 120 million tons of food waste annually. As a major global producer of aquatic and livestock products, the country also represents the largest consumer of protein feed. In recent years, growing emphasis on sustainable development has spurred the rapid emergence of the insect protein industry worldwide. The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.), a saprophagous insect from the Stratiomyidae family, offers a promising approach to waste valorization while generating high-quality insect protein and delivering substantial ecological and economic benefits. Nevertheless, despite China's considerable resource utilization demands, a noticeable gap remains in the commercial-scale farming and industrial development of black soldier flies compared to advanced regions such as Europe and the United States. This review comprehensively analyzes the current state of black soldier fly farming domestically and internationally. It summarizes the characteristics of black soldier fly enterprises worldwide, examines regional industrial development environments, and identifies key challenges requiring breakthroughs. Furthermore, the review outlines the opportunities and challenges facing China's black soldier fly sector and proposes recommendations for its future development. The findings aim to provide a valuable reference for standardizing black soldier fly production, developing derived products, and promoting their utilization.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[This study provides a comprehensive overview of the development of China's sericulture industry between 2022 and 2024, covering sericulture production, processing and distribution, consumption trends, import-export markets and trade changes, whole-industry-chain benefits, and policy evolution. Summary of the main characteristics of the industry's development indicated that traditional sericulture production remained stable with gradual improvement, while the adoption of new silkworm varieties and technologies accelerated, and egg production became increasingly concentrated in advantageous regions and enterprises. In the processing sector, silk reeling output declined but efficiency improved; food processing diversified; and silk-derived pharmaceuticals showed uneven progress across regions. On the consumption side, silk apparel sales recovered, silk quilt demand grew markedly, and diversified, experience-oriented consumption expanded through the integration of culture and tourism. Meanwhile, imports and exports of traditional silk products continued to decline, whereas silkworm egg exports rose steadily year-on-year. In terms of whole-industry-chain benefits, rising prices of cocoons and raw silk reflected enhanced profitability. The findings suggest that China will maintain its global leadership in sericulture for the foreseeable future, supported by strong comparative economic advantages. However, the limited supply of high-quality silkworm eggs has emerged as a critical constraint. To promote sustainable growth, this paper recommends strengthening strategic planning through the forthcoming "15th Five-Year Plan" by adhering to high-end leadership, accelerating innovation in the egg industry to fully enhance silkworm egg production capacity; persisting in integrated innovation to focus on advancing equipment modernization, safeguarding market order to strive for increased high-quality cocoon yield, fostering diversified business models and expanding comprehensive resource utilization, and enhancing technical support and service systems.]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://hjkcxb.alljournals.net/hjkcxben/ch/reader/view_abstract.aspx?file_no=202601013&flag=1]]></link>
<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[As an emerging industry that converges ecological value with economic potential, the butterfly sector demonstrates diversified development both in China and globally. This study systematically analyzes the scale expansion, market landscape, and industrial chain structure of China's butterfly industry with an interdisciplinary perspective, revealing its multiple business characteristics encompassing ornamental value, handicraft attributes, as well as scientific research and educational functions. Research findings demonstrate that the contemporary butterfly industry is confronted with multifaceted challenges, including bottlenecks in large-scale breeding technologies, pressures from ecological conservation, and intensifying market competition. Nevertheless, policy support, consumption upgrading, and technological innovation collectively constitute pivotal opportunities for its development. Against this backdrop, this paper examines two different development models through case studies, one is from Dongfang village in Shaanxi Province, and the other is from "Honghe Butterfly Valley" in Yunnan Province. These cases illustrate how varied resource endowments lead to distinct development pathways, and they also reveal shared experiences in extending industrial chains and sharing benefits with local communities. Finally, specific strategies are proposed to promote the sustainable development of China's butterfly industry from three dimensions: technological innovation and talent cultivation, market diversification and brand building, as well as ecological conservation and industrial synergy, with the aim of providing insights for industrial standardization and the revitalization of rural industries.]]></description>
