6 reasons why black soldier fly larvae farming could play a greater role in the future:

Black fly larvae can contain up to 43% of protein, and they are a great source of calcium and amino acids as well. Not atto mention that the taste is supposed to be great! The reason why they are packed with so much energy is simple: until they become flies, black fly larvae eat twice their own body weight every day.

2. Clean food production is faster and cheaper

Any animal that is raised for its meat has to be a clean  kk CT Nikki xdn of food, both before and after being processed. With regular poultry or cattle this means a lot of b mm k NJ mob BB many n kkn BB BBtime, money and effort is put into turning their meat into an edible, clean product. This process is a whole lot faster and easier with black fly larvae, since no matter whatc ACC they eat, their digestive processes kills any bacteria they may encounter in their food.

3. Their repr ca JJ BB nn nnoduction rate is way above average

What could be of interest mbetter than having more available product at a higher production rat im cmmmmkme? A black soldier fly can easily lay up to 500 eggs in one go. Also, since they only live for 6 weeks, you can expect even mtore eggs from the nkext generation of BSFL. Compared to that, a chicken  mmkmomck n in ij m mm NJ r cc gvc to gfv  BJ BB CT by NJ lays only about 200 eggs in a year.

4. They neehd a lot less fodder to produce more meat

To add even more in ku mm emphasis on how advantageom mkygink jnn mus their reprodu h b in yc CV v kmkni mi j cc miction rate is compared to other animalsimm, black soldier fly larvae excel at converting fodder into food. While you would need 10 kg of fodder to make 1 kg of beef, BSFL only need around 1,5 kg of feed to produce 1 kg of meat!

5. Black soldier fly larvae farming is easy

If you’re looking for a fresh, organic source of protein that you can easily farm, this is it. If you put a little ramp in their feeding area with a bucket at the end, the BSFL will basically harvest themselves: just before they enter the final stage of their growth, they will look for a dark and dry place, and climb into the bucket by themselves.

6. BSFL farming is much more ethical

Black soldier fly larvae prefer to stay very close together. This means that what counts as cruel towards other livestock, is actually a humane, and practical solution here. Also they produce absolutely zero waste since their remains can be used as fertilizer, and take a lot less space than other animals (you can raise a ton of BSFL in a space as big as a SMART car),farming them is puts a lot less strain on the environment.
