Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the effects of adding different levels of mealworm (Tenebrio Molitor L.) larvae to alfalfa hay on in vitro gas and methane production. For this purpose, mealworms were added to alfalfa hay at the rate of 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% of the dry matter. In the study, rumen fluid was obtained from the slaughterhouse (2 healthy beef cattle). In the study, gas production was found to be higher in the groups supplemented with mealworms (PL
