Abstract Hermetia illucens L., commonly known as the black soldier fly (BSF), is an exemplary group of insects for waste decomposition, and its maggots can be utilized a protein source livestock, poultry, fish applications. The propagation BSF relatively straightforward cultivated on large scale, contingent upon type feed provided. Chitin, present in outer layer maggots, act anti-nutrient, diminishing benefits feed. This research aimed to evaluate maggot development based optimal harvesting time achieve lowest chitin content along with other proximate elements (nutrients) significance. A quantity 10 grams eggs was medium comprising tofu dregs fruit vegetable wastes. Harvesting performed 14, 16, 18, 20-day. Proximate analysis results indicate that 18th day optimum just before reaching maturity, exhibiting highest levels. findings this study will serve reference pre-treatment reduce vivo testing broiler chickens.

The black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens , is used in entomoremediation processes because its larvae can use a variety of organic residues with high efficiency. However, feed efficiencies are variable and characterized by uncertainties. Recently developed growth metabolic performance models have predicted across different studies that BSF 53%–58% the components they assimilated, terms carbon equivalents, for throughout their lifetime when reared on chicken feed. This termed average net remainder has been lost as CO 2 . mass balances made under similar conditions show weight gained corresponds to only 14%–48% substrates removed, indicating substrate conversion Both indicators even greater variability if more considered. Feed assimilation rates, costs growth, maintenance, larval lifespan shown affect how efficiently convert into growth. differences between further indicate often not optimally overall yield such determined alone but result interactions larvae, substrates, microbes, physical environment. purpose this study illustrate quantification help improve our understanding role processes.

Mealworms and black soldier fly (BSF) larvae are two of the most reared insects at an industrial scale. Both may feed on by-products from agricultural food industries. Feed efficiency is one important aspects such processes varies between species substrates depends metabolic performance larvae. Compared to each other, both hold advantageous capabilities affecting their efficiency, likely depending substrate. We mealworms BSF a diverse selection industries, quantified major rates across life spans, compared performances. The type had stronger effects growth than Generally, were in terms highest maximal specific rate (0.50–0.77 day−1) assimilation (0.81–1.16 shortest development period (23–25 days) but disadvantageous maintenance cost (0.07–0.21 day−1).

Chitin is the second most abundant polysaccharide on Earth, after cellulose, and it mainly obtained from shells of crustaceans. While chitin currently derived shrimp shells, there a growing interest in commercializing sourced insects. This review compares various sources, including crustaceans, insects, fungi, mollusks, based several factors: purity, molecular weight, crystallinity, cost, sustainability. Although crustaceans yield higher amounts exhibit better insects present significant advantages terms sustainability, ease extraction, lower impurity levels. emerging as sustainable alternative due to its simpler extraction processes reduced environmental impact. work highlights increasing potential reliable source for production.

Abstract Replacing fishmeal (FM) with an optimal aquafeed alternative remains a significant challenge. Recent research suggests that insect meal is potential candidate ingredient for substitute fishmeal. Simultaneously, the Black soldier fly larvae (BM) intensively researched promising results. However, controversial results and inability to complete FM substitution prompt further investigation into new techniques. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) has been identified as cost-effective technique enhance efficiency of aqua feed ingredients. Therefore, nine-week experiment was conducted using fermented black (FB) replace based on protein content 0% (0FB), 35% (35FB), 70% (70FB), 100% (100FB) in diet GIFT tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) fry (0.18±0.01 g/fish) applying SSF. Additionally, entirely replaced by unfermented (UB), including (100UB). Results weight gain (WG), daily (DWG), relative (RWG), specific growth rate (SGR) FB-fed fish were statistically higher (P<0.05) than those UB-fed fish. there decreasing trend performance when FB proportion increased. ratio (FCR) (PER) all lower control.
