Effects of a mixed mealworms–earthworms diet on growth performance and intestinal health of Quasipaa spinosa

Earthworms and mealworms are widely used as the primary biological feeds of Quasipaa spinosa . In the present study, a controlled feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of three different biological feed types—earthworm feed (EF), mealworm feed (TM), and mixed feed (MIX)—on the growth performance, antioxidant enzyme activity, digestive enzyme activity, and gut microbial diversity of Q. spinosa to determine the optimal biological feeding strategy. The results demonstrated that frogs
