In recent years, the amount of solid waste generated has been increasing, and larger land space is needed for disposal waste. One ways to deal with limited landfill by composting organic using black soldier fly larvae. This study aims determine percentage BSFL growth assess effectiveness in fruits, boiled vegetables, raw vegetables. The used this was collected from college cafeteria sorted into...

Insects attract the interest of agri-food sector because their advantages as feed for livestock. The reason this lies in role insects alternative protein source to soybean and fish meal, common but expensive materials, ability proliferate on waste substrates, thus allowing a sustainable livestock management. purposes can however be problematic, particular with regard safety substrates would rea...

The oilseed crops Crambe abyssinica and Camelina sativa produce oils rich in erucic acid n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), respectively. After pressing the oil, a seed cake remains as protein-rich by-product. Edible insects may convert this press defatted meal produced from it into insect biomass suitable for animal feed. Black soldier fly larvae (BSF, Hermetia illucens) can grow on wide ...

With the general objective of optimizing internal nutrient recycling, circular multitrophic food production systems, e.g., combining fish, plant, and insect larvae production, rely on quality composition sustainable nutritional inputs. Therefore, differences in dissolved solid excretion patterns produced by Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) reared recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) with...

The high cost of feed has been the major hindrance to a growth, sustainability, profitability, and expansion poultry production. Black soldier fly larva (BSFL) meal is one most promising alternative protein sources widely accepted globally. This study evaluated growth performance improved indigenous chicken (IIC)-fed diets containing different inclusion levels BSFL meals. rates included 0% (Die...

BACKGROUND Chlorantraniliprole formulated as a 350 g kg(-1) WG (Altacor 35WG) for management of apple maggot Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh), blueberry maggot R. mendax Curran and cherry fruit fly R. cingulata (Loew) (Diptera: Tephritidae) was evaluated in laboratory assays and field trials. RESULTS A tarsal contact toxicity bioassay showed that a surface residue of 500 mg L(-1) of chlorantranil...

Modern dairies cause the accumulation of considerable quantity of dairy manure which is a potential hazard to the environment. Dairy manure can also act as a principal larval resource for many insects such as the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens. The black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are considered as a new biotechnology to convert dairy manure into biodiesel and sugar. BSFL are a common colo...
