What Feed Causes Size Variation in Black Soldier Fly (I)

              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...

The necessity to feed such a growing population generates a constant pressure on both plant and animal productions.

                                 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....
