We all know Bearded Dragons are cool and unique pets, but what kind of food do they need to stay healthy? Black Soldier Fly Larvae have come to light as one of the best feeders for reptiles with a high calcium content and a great source of protein and healthy fats. Since black soldier fly larvae are so rich in nutrients the question then becomes, how many larvae should you feed your pet Bearded Dragon? It's time to explore the answer in this blog.    Quick Breakdown The ideal number of larvae to give your bearded dragon depends on its...

Are you new to owning a bearded dragon? Congratulations on your newest scaly friend! Beardies are the perfect companion if you are looking for something a little different, but they come with a unique set of needs. But have no fear, because this blog is here to get you started! In this blog, you will find the basics of bearded dragon care. So sit back, take a deep breath, and let us give you the ins and outs of keeping a healthy and happy beardie. Let's get started! Quick Recap of Key Points Bearded dragon care involves providing the proper...

              Effects of Different feedstock’s on BSF larval development Insect farming can be a viable new source of animal protein. Insects can be farmed in high densities with small space requirements and they have a high bioconversion ratio.  Furthermore, many insects can be reared on waste streams, which keep the environmental footprint low and assists in recycling of refuse. Consequently, the use of fly larvae in waste management has started to gain attention. One species that has gained more attention than others is the black soldier fly (BSF).  BSFL are known to feed and develop on a wide range of feed sources, such as...

                                            Commercial Production of BSFL Demographic evolution, impact of climate change on natural resources and necessity of their sustainable management, require increasing the global food production by about 70% before year 2050 in order to feed the 9 billion inhabitants the planet will count by then. The necessity to feed such a growing population generates a constant pressure on both plant and animal productions. Industrial rearing of chickens, pigs and fish is in continuous expansion due to increased consumption by humans. This growth is intimately dependent on the availability of protein sources for sustaining animal productions. Although rather anecdotal until...

                                 Black Soldier Fly Biowaste Processing Urban solid waste management is considered one of the most immediate and serious environmental problems confronting urban governments in low- and middle-income countries. The severity of this challenge will increase in the future given the trends of rapid urbanization and growth in urban population. Recycling organic waste material (biowaste) is still fairly limited, especially in low- and middle-income settings, although this is by far the largest fraction of all generated municipal waste. Scientists are searching for alternative solutions for bio-degradation of municipal waste and Insects larvae can provide a best possible alternative solution....
