The Potential of Valorized Sisal Decorticated Waste in Rearing of Black Soldier Fly

The use of sisal decorticated waste (SDW) for various applications is limited due to its high acidic content. This the first study kind regarding SDW as a substrate growth black soldier fly (BSF). Pre-treatment was necessary and challenging step performed on meet minimum requirements rearing BSF. sun dried, sieved, decomposited neutralized form final products that were used resultant had fourteen (14) elements; essential elemental results Ca, P, K, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn at varying levels, which are all animal growth. contained 10 ± 0.01 percent crude protein, 11 0.02 moisture energy (1615 kcal/g waste). dried BSF larvae reared 53 0.005 4 fat, content (10 0.1)%, carbohydrate (43 0.01)%, ash (37 0.08). When finished, 3000 g pre-treated yielded more wet larvae, (336 41.3) g, compared fruit waste, (244 4.16) larvae. Therefore, based this study, promising potential feed because it better reduction by 52%. Furthermore, harvested sufficient nutritional value poultry fish.
