Larvae of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) has been widely applied as a biological agent for biodegradable wastes upcycling through bioconversion process. However, most of the biodegradable wastes produced from economic activities other than industrial is heterogenous. This may cause some physiological change which may alter the survivorship, growth, and efficiency of the bioconversion process. In this study, the substrate combination of macronutrients provided to black soldier fly larvae were observed to understand the larvae ability to degrade organic waste from economic activities. The substrat proportion consist of three major macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein, and lipid) and made of a mixture of decayed cabbage (Brassica oleracea) (source of carbohydrate), shark catfish (Pangasius sp.) (source of protein), and avocado (Persea americana) (source of lipid) which consisted of four types of substrate namely high fiber, high protein, high lipid, and balance. The feeding rate was 100 mg/larvae/day which provides every three days until 50% of larvae metamorphosed into prepupae. Mortality rate, the weight of larvae, and weight of residue (undigested substrate) were measured during substrate replacement and used to calculated survivorship rate, ECD (Efficiency of Conversion Digested-feed), AD (Approximate digestibility), and WRI (Waste Reduction Index). The proximate analysis also conducted on the harvested larvae biomass. The larvae group fed on high protein substrate showed best survivorship (64,75±2,60%), growth rate (2,97±0,166 mg/larvae/day), and AD (57,39±3,39) while the highest WRI recorded for larvae group fed on high fiber substrate and the highest ECD recorded for larvae group fed on high lipid substrate. The proximate analysis showed the best nutritional content of prepupae of larvae group fed on high protein substrate. It can be concluded that the proportion of macronutrients of substrate effect the growth and bioconversion performance of black soldier fly larvae. Some strategies related to the optimization of the bioconversion process for heterogeny substrate are discussed.Keywords: biodegradable wastes, black soldier fly, heterogeneity, growth, nutritional content, survivorship.

Abstract Fish feed is the most essential necessity and the biggest contributor on production cost of fish cultivation. As much as 50-70% production cost is for fish feed. It can be deducted by made alternative fish feed. Black soldier fly larvae is an alternative fish feed with high protein content and most importantly it is cheap. The aim of this research was to evaluate the growth and nutrition content of black soldier fly larvae which cultivated in different medium. Medium used in this study was combination of coconut pulp residue and three other different medium, such as tofu dregs, sago dregs, and rice bran. Each combination had three different level of concentration, 1:1, 1:3, 1:5 (w:w). It was evaluated for nutrition content (proximate analysis), biomass, and dried yield. The result showed combination of coconut pulp and sago dregs 1:5 produced the highest biomass (465 g), but black soldier fly larvae produced from combination of coconut pulp residue and tofu dregs 1:3 had the highest protein content (39.78%). The best medium to produce black soldier fly larvae based on multiple attribute decision making (MADM) method was from the combination of coconut pulp residue and sago dregs 1:5 (w:w). It had 465 g biomass, 186 g dried yield, 23.73% protein, 47.67% fat, and 22.15% carbohydrate.

Alternative Feeds

In increasing fish farming production, it is very dependent on the availability of fish feed which has recently been expensive. To overcome this, was necessary to find alternative feeds that have nutritional value according to the needs of cultivated organisms. Maggot (Hermetia illucens Linn.) is a black soldier fly larvae that has a chewy texture, high protein and has the ability to secrete natural enzymes that help improve the digestive system of fish. . The aimed of this research was to find out the amount of maggot (H. illucens Linn.) production in several cultivation media with different treatments. The  results of the study found that it took up to 2 weeks to produce maggot that had ready to be used as feed. Maggot had the potential to be cultivated as an alternative to fish feed.

The Impact

The acceptance of eco-friendly black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) as sustainable alternative protein ingredient in poultry feeds continues to gain momentum worldwide. This study evaluates the impact of BSFLM in layer chick and grower diets on the growth, carcass quality and economic returns. Mean weekly weight gain and total live weight per chick and grower varied significantly. The highest final weight gain was achieved when birds were provided diet with 25.6% BSFLM. Average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily weight gain (ADG) and overall weight gain of the chick varied significantly, except for the feed conversion ratio (FCR). For grower birds, ADFI, ADG, FCR and overall weight gain did not vary significantly across the various feeding regimes. The weight of the wings and drumsticks had a quadratic response with a maximum weight obtained at 33% inclusion of BSFLM. The weight of the internal organs were not significantly affected by dietary types. Positive cost–benefit ratio and return on investment was recorded for diet types with higher BSFLM inclusion levels (>75%). Diets with 25% and 100% BSFLM inclusion were the most suitable and cost-effective, respectively. Thus, BSFLM represents a promising alternative source of protein that could be sustainably used in the poultry industries.
