                                        How to Breed BSFL Insects at all life stages are rich sources of protein, fat, and many other important nutrients, and can be eaten by humans or used as feed for human food animals like fish, poultry, rabbits, and swine. Fly larvae are particularly recommended for this purpose because they contain a high amount of animal protein. In Fly larvae, the black soldier fly (BFS), Hermetia illucens, has tremendous potential and capable of digesting almost any organic matter and converting it into insect biomass. The larvae can be fed live to fish or poultry, processed into feed comparable to...

                                       Black Solider Fly FAQ Food futurists accept that sustainability-minded humanity will increasingly incorporate Insects as alternative protein. The black soldier fly (BSF) has huge potential and capable of efficiently converting a wide variety of organic materials, from food waste to manure, into insect biomass. They can be grown and harvested without dedicated facilities and are not pestiferous. Their larvae are 42% crude protein and 29% fat, although they are higher in saturated fats than most insects. They do not concentrate on pesticides or mycotoxins. They are already grown and recommended for use as animal feed. In this article, we will...

There are many different types of feeder insects in the market today. They all have their benefits and shortcomings. There is not a lot of informational analysis of these different types of bugs but dubiaroachdepot.com was able to get some good macro and micro data information by doing "meta analysis of academic, industry, and other studies on insect nutrition". The results come from pooled, normalized data and their goal was  "to create reliable data from basic research that we could use to make better decisions. We wanted something that would be easy to understand from which “apples-to-apples” comparisons". The different types of feeder...

How Can Black Soldier Fly Can Help The Fishmeal Industry      Black Soldier Fly are a sustainable replacement or ingredient for fishmeal. Using Black Soldier Flies Larvae as a substitute feed (or in unison with Fishmeal) will lengthen the supply and mitigate the cost of fishmeal in the aquaculture industry. The problem that exists is fishmeal is an unsustainable finite resource that is subject to max catch quotas every year. According to Thefishsite.com the world only produces 6.3 million tons of fishmeal from roughly 33 million tons of whole fish and trimmings. (Explaining the production and consumption of fishmeal, 2020).  ...

Approximately 45,000 larvae will consume 24 kg of swine manure in 14 days In addition to being a good source of oil and protein for animal feed, black soldier fly larvae have the potential of improving organic waste into a rich fertilizer. Soldier flies also have two translucent "windows" located on the first abdominal segment. As the larvae mature they crawl out of the basin, thereby self-harvesting themselves, and are subsequently available as livestock feed. The larvae can reach 27 mm in length and 6 mm in width. They are a dull, whitish color with a small, projecting head containing...
