Black soldier flies, Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), are of particular interest for their applications in waste management. Feeding on decaying organic waste, black soldier flies successfully reduce manure in confined animal feeding operations of poultry, swine, and cattle. To optimize waste conversion in confined animal feeding operations and landfill facilities, it is imperat...

This study was conducted to determine the effect on growth performance and intestinal histomorphology of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed diets including black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) prepupae meal (HI) mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) larvae (TM) used instead fish meal. Six with HI TM at three inclusion levels (10%, 20% 30%) a control diet based were prepared. Test encoded as control...

Abstract The objective was to determine the effects of different drying methods on nutrient utilization black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) larva meals using in vitro assays. Two-step and 3-step assays were employed simulate gastrointestinal tract pigs. Four used obtain BSF meal sources: 1) microwave-drying for 32 min, 2) hot-air at 60°C 17 h, 3) water blanching 5 min 4) 2% citric acid s...

The black soldier fly Hermetia illucens breeding began in the 90s of 20 century and was considered as an ecological solution for turning agricultural waste into a protein-rich organic compound. Two problems can be solved by flies: firstly, food is disposed way, secondly, valuable protein raw materials are obtained. Through this technology, shortage important nutritional components aquaculture p...

Abstract The objectives were to evaluate the nutrient utilization of fish meal, black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) larvae, and adult BSF meal develop equations for estimating in vitro disappearance larvae pigs. Two-step 3-step procedures used simulate digestion absorption nutrients gastrointestinal tract In Exp. 1, defatted larva had less (P < 0.05) ileal (IVID) dry matter (DM; 8...

The objectives of the present study were to determine nutrient digestibility fish meal, defatted black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), and adult flies develop equations for estimating <italic>in vitro</italic> BSFL pigs. <italic>In digestion procedures employed mimic absorption nutrients in pig intestine. Correlation coefficients between chemical composition calculated. In Exp. 1, ...

the identification of different species of simuliidae, also called “black fly”, is based on particular structure of oral and terminal appendages of their larvae add also on the special morphology of adults and pupaes. because of their considerable flight range, the problem of finding their resting places, and also the difficulties of collecting the adult flies, breeding of this insect, in the l...

Using black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) larvae as a novel protein source substituting fishmeal (FM) in animal feeds is globally gaining momentum. BSF can be reared on agro-industrial residues. However, incorporating larval meal (BSFLM) into finisher pig diets has received inadequate attention. This study evaluated the effects of replacing dietary FM with BSFLM growth, carcass traits an...
