The total mealworms (MW) fresh yield, dry yield, total remaining frass, and the feed conversion ratio (FCR). MW were grown wheat bran (Bran). 50% of the wheat bran was substituted with autoclaved strawberry vegetative waste (SB-A), strawberry vegetative waste fermented with T. reesei (SB-F), untreated strawberry vegetative waste (SB), autoclaved beans vegetative waste (Bean-A), beans vegetative waste fermented with T. reesei (Bean-F), or untreated autoclaved beans vegetative waste (Bean). Shown are the mean values and standard deviations for the total dry yield, total weight of frass, and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Significant differences revealed by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test (n = 5, p < 0.05) are represented by the different letters above the columns.
