Although few studies have been conducted on the sensory effects of adding legume forage such as Desmodium intortum in combination with Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) in poultry (broiler) diets, the increased sensory appeal of the D. intortum-BSFLM based diets is unique, and corroborates previous studies. In this study the physical attributes of meat derived from various treatments differed; the increased addition of D. intortum-BSFLM mixture has a significant effect on poultry meat, particularly in moisture retention, pH and water holding capacity. As well, the inclusion of BSFLM and D. intortum influenced the fatty acid profile. These attributes could be comparative to free-range chicken ‘kienyeji’.
