Black soldier fly larvae are better at quickly converting "high-nutrient" waste into animal feed, [71] while redworms are better at converting high-cellulose materials (paper, cardboard, leaves, plant materials except wood) into an excellent soil amendment. Redworms thrive on the residue produced by black soldier fly larvae, but larvae leachate ...
Black soldier fly larvae. - Kaan Mika/iStockphoto/Getty Images. The black soldier fly, “can grow on almost every type of food waste and byproduct you can imagine,” Aarts said.
Black soldier fly larvae produced as animal feed. Insects as feed are insect species used as animal feed, either for livestock, including aquaculture, or as pet food. As livestock feed production uses ~33% of the world's agricultural cropland use, insects might be able to supplement livestock feed. They can transform low-value organic wastes ...
Black soldier fly larvae. Currently, AgriProtein breeds black soldier fly larvae on food waste from a variety of sources including restaurants and supermarkets. After they pupate, the larvae are processed into MagMeal - a sustainable, high quality protein that can be fed to all monogastric animals such as chickens, pigs, fish [4] [5] [6] and pets. [7]
Maggots of black soldier fly, one species that is farmed. Maggot farming is the act of growing maggots for industry. It is distinct from vermicomposting, as no separate composting process is occurring and maggots are used to consume flesh, rather than earthworms to consume plant-based materials.
The insect used in the InnovaFeed process is the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens). [19] This insect species has been approved by the European Commission for animal feed breeding because it does not transmit pathogen for humans and is non-aggressive. [20] [21] [22]
Other alternatives include growing duckweed with an aquaponics system that feeds the same fish grown on the system, [39] excess worms grown from vermiculture composting, using prepared kitchen scraps, [40] as well as growing black soldier fly larvae to feed to the fish using composting grub growers. [41]
Terrestrial larvae are found in organic substrates: in decomposing vegetable matter and animal excreta, in moist soils and litter, under the bark of trees, etc. Inopus rubriceps (Macquart), the sugarcane soldier fly, is a pest: the larvae attack the roots of sugarcane in Australia.
