Research on a gut loading formula for vitamin A:
I just ordered some of Mazuri's better bug gut loader which was recommended by another member on the forum. It came with an insert citing a study done on Wyoming toads. I have attached the link to the paper. It appears that they used crickets fed a calcium high gut loader, crickets that were fed an enriched diet and then gut loaded on a similar or same product as the Mazuri diet and then crickets fed a produce diet. The vitamin A in the liver afterward in toads was significantly greater in the fortified diet and also the produce diet compared to control and sometimes not even detected in controls! While the produce fed crickets gives the same results, they had a harder time keeping that colony clean and kept getting infested with fruit flies. Pretty interesting study and I am starting to mix this stuff in with all my worm colony foods.
