OBJECTIVES To determine the capacity of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) (Hermetia illucens) to convert fresh human faeces into larval biomass under different feeding regimes, and to determine how effective BSFL are as a means of human faecal waste management. METHODS Black soldier fly larvae were fed fresh human faeces. The frequency of feeding, number of larvae and feeding ratio were altered...

A 60-day indoor growth trial was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary replacement fish meal (FM) protein with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFLM) at graded concentrations on bio-growth parameters, whole-body chemical composition, digestive enzyme activity, muscle-growth-related gene expression and haemato-biochemical responses goldfish (Carassius auratus) juveniles...

Limbah organik merupakan masalah utama yang sering dihadapi oleh masyarakat Indonesia. tidak tertangani dengan baik akan berdampak negatif terhadap kualitas lingkungan di masyarakat. Penanganan sampah metode biokonversi bantuan larva Black soldier Fly (BSF) dan bioaktivator EM-4 dapat mengurangi kapasitas limbah bermanfaat bagi Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan kemampuan antara agen ...

The replacement of fish meal and oil by insect-based ingredients in the formulation marine aquafeeds can be an important step towards sustainability. To pursue this goal, modulation lipid profile black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) has received great attention. While its nutritional shift with diet, ability to modulate lipidome is yet understood. present work provides overview H. illuc...

The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) is an insect species and able to convert low-value substrates highly nutrient feed. Most of the aquaculture industry uses fish meal as a protein source in diet however was high demand, price, limited hence alternative supplement should possess certain content meet role aquafeed products. Besides, lack research studies on using BSF substitute feed not...

Abstract Purpose Chitin purification from remains (pupal exuviae after metamorphosis to adult flies) of Hermetia illucens farming was optimized performing demineralization, deproteinization and bleaching under different conditions. The optimal parameters obtain high-purity chitin were determined. Methods Dried ground pupal exuviae, whose composition initially determined, demineralized using six...
