The effects of density on the growth, survival and feed conversion of Tenebrio molitor larvae

D. Deruytter et al.

Summary: An appropriate stocking density is important for efficient business operation and animal welfare. This study found that, when the volumetric stocking density remains constant, the areal density of mealworm larvae can vary between 0.6 and 10.4 larvae/cm(2) without significant effects on growth, survival, or feed efficiency. The highest yield was observed at an areal density of 10.4 larvae/cm(2).

Understanding dietary carbohydrates in black soldier fly larvae treatment of organic waste in the circular economy

Zachary Cohn et al.

Summary: This study found that the carbohydrate profile of organic waste significantly impacts the performance of Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) treatment, including larval survival, waste reduction, bioconversion efficiency, and larval lipid contents. Hemicellulose constituents such as galactose and arabinose adversely affected process performance, while xylan had detrimental effects on bioconversion and waste conversion efficiencies. Larvae crude lipid contents were increased by wheat starch and decreased by galactose and xylan additives.

Temperature-modified density effects in the black soldier fly: low larval density leads to large size, short development time and high fat content

L. O. Opare et al.

Summary: The effects of larval density and temperature on the black soldier fly (BSF) life-history traits were investigated. The study found that low densities resulted in increased quality and longevity of the insects, while high densities led to longer development time and higher mortality rates. Temperature significantly influenced most traits except survival, fat content, and adult longevity, and modified the effects of larval density on various traits.

Black Soldier Fly Larvae Influence Internal and Substrate Bacterial Community Composition Depending on Substrate Type and Larval Density

Stijn J. J. Schreven et al.

Summary: Black soldier fly larvae can process organic side streams into nutritious insect biomass, yielding a sustainable ingredient of animal feed. In processing such organic residues, the larvae impact the substrate and its microbiota. The study found that substrate type was the strongest driver of bacterial community composition, and the magnitude of the impact of the larvae depended on the substrate type and larval density. Both substrate composition and larval density may be used to improve the microbiological safety of the larvae as animal feed.

Growth efficiency, intestinal biology, and nutrient utilization and requirements of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae compared to monogastric livestock species: a review

Mohammad M. Seyedalmoosavi et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been increasing interest in using black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) as a sustainable protein resource for livestock feed. Compared to conventional farmed animals, BSFL have advantages such as high growth rate and their ability to convert organic waste into high-quality protein and fat-rich biomass. However, their growth efficiency is influenced by the nutrient quality of their diet, and their environmental advantage is only true under specific conditions.

A Review of Pretreatment Methods to Improve Agri-Food Waste Bioconversion by Black Soldier Fly Larvae

Daniela A. Peguero et al.

Summary: As the world population grows, the demand for food increases, but currently about 30-40% of food is lost or wasted along the production chain. Using the larvae of the black soldier fly (BSFL) to convert and recover agricultural and food waste is an innovative approach that can turn organic waste into insect biomass for animal feed, fertilizer, or bioenergy. However, there are concerns about the variability in BSFL bioconversion and processing due to the variability of the substrate, especially for substrates with high lignin and cellulose contents. Studies suggest that pretreatment methods may improve the digestibility and biodegradability of the substrate by BSFL.

Nutritional plasticity of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) in response to artificial diets varying in protein and carbohydrate concentrations

K. B. Barragan-Fonseca et al.

Summary: The concentration of protein and carbohydrate in food affects the performance of black soldier fly larvae and adults, with protein concentration being a limiting factor for most performance variables. A protein concentration between 10% and 15% and a carbohydrate concentration between 10% and 60% support high larval and adult performance. Different macronutrient concentrations significantly affect larval and adult performance in various ways, highlighting the flexibility in formulating diets to achieve optimal results.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of larval density and substrate content on life-history parameters of Musca domestica. Results showed that increasing larval density and nutrient content of food led to changes in larval and pupal development time, with negative impacts on pupal weight and adult survival. Additionally, the wheat bran diet was superior to other diets in all parameters tested.

Black soldier fly reared on pig manure: Bioconversion efficiencies, nutrients in the residual material, greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions

Alejandro Parodi et al.

Summary: The study found that with the presence of black soldier fly larvae, more carbon dioxide and ammonia-nitrogen were emitted compared to when the larvae were absent. Methane emissions, the main contributor to greenhouse gases, were produced at the same levels in both treatments, indicating the significant role of manure microbial methane emissions. The uptake of nutrients by the larvae and the higher carbon dioxide and ammonia emissions significantly altered the nutrient composition of the residual material relative to fresh manure.
