The intra-puparial development of the black soldier-fly, Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), was studied based on 125 pupae under controlled conditions in laboratory. The 6(th) instar larvae were reared until they stopped feeding, and the prepupae were separated according to the reduction in larval length and degree of pigmentation and sclerotization of the cuticle. The pupal stage...

The growing world population accompanied by urbanisation and improved economies has resulted in an increased demand for diets rich animal proteins. rearing of livestock existing practices is also becoming increasingly difficult due to changing environmental conditions. use black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) grown on organic side streams (bioproducts) as feed animals presents a sustainable alternat...

Abstract Pulp and paper production is one of the largest global industries producing annually 400 million metric tons pulp products 6 biosludge (PPBS). From a resource efficiency sustainability perspective, there need for improving PPBS management. This study assessed fermentation as pretreatment to improve feasibility feed black soldier fly larvae. The impact temperature, pH, inoculum on conce...

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...
