Promoting black soldier fly (BSF) rearing in Benin to replace fishmeal fish diet could reduce production costs. This study aims set up a breeding technique of BSF as protein source. reproduction has been carried out sunlight. Two densities (8500 individuals/m3 and 10,500 individuals/m3) associated with 2 attractants (soybean pineapple waste) were tested on imago egg-laying. A larvarium prepupae...

Kitin dan kitosan merupakan biopolimer yang banyak dimanfaatkan untuk berbagai aplikasi. Dalam penelitian disebutkan bahwa kitin telah berhasil diisolasi dari organisme, terutama serangga. Belakangan ini, budidaya lalat black soldier fly (Hermetica Illucens) sedang menjamur di Indonesia. Hewan ini dapat dijadikan sumber baru diperoleh selongsong pupa BSF. Penelitian bertujuan mengekstraksi BSF ...

Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal (BSFLM) is a novel fish feed ingredient with high crude protein content (~40% dry matter, DM). However, BSFLM also contains chitin, which might impair nutrient digestibility. To investigate the effect of chitin on digestibility and chitinase activity in fish, different contents were tested as ingredients for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) ...

Food security is threatened by the global increase of human population, climate change, inequality wealth distribution, state natural resources, peace and sustainability, among others. Aquaculture has become an important part food supply, hence contributing to security. Sustainable fish production, which represents affordable protein should therefore involve feed formulation production techniqu...
