This study explores the optimisation of rearing substrates for black soldier fly larvae (BSFL). First, ideal dry matter content was determined, comparing standard 30% (DM) with hydrated to their maximum water holding capacity (WHC). Substrates at maximal WHC yielded significantly higher larval survival rates (p = 0.0006). Consequently, approach adopted further experiments. Using these artificial substrates, fractional factorial designs based on central composite and Box–Behnken were employed assess impact macronutrient composition bioconversion efficiency. The results demonstrated significant main, interaction, quadratic effects Validation real-life varied protein content, including indigestible feather meal, affirmed predictive model’s accuracy after accounting source digestibility. research underscores importance optimal hydration in enhancing BSFL growth
