  1. 1. BSF-colony management efficiency at a large scale fly larvae composting company in Kenya – A field study

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Hilda Anderberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Black soldier fly composting; BSF-colony; industrial scale; parasitic wasps; Amerikansk vapenfluga; fluglarvskompostering; storskaligt; parasitsteklar;

    Abstract : The majority of organic waste globally is either dumped or placed on landfills, which can result in spreading of disease and pests, methane gas emissions, the deterioration of landscapes and odour pollution. One of the solutions to poor organic waste management is to create value from waste. READ MORE

  3. 2. The potential use of black soldier fly larvae residue as a fertilizer

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Agricultural Biosystems and Techology

    Author : An-Marthe Ingelaere; [2023]
    Keywords : organic waste; fertilizer; black soldier fly; residue; physico-chemical characteristics; sub-Saharan Africa; socio-economic constraints;

    Abstract : In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the primary constraint of agriculture productivity has consistently been ascribed to soil fertility. A common approach to improve soil fertility is the use of fertilizers, both organic and inorganic. Though recently interest is increasing in the use of newer alternatives like biostimulants.

  4. 3. Feeding Live or Dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) to laying hens – Effects on Immune Traits, Egg Quality, Feather Condition, Body and Organ Weights

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Adnan Aslam; [2023]
    Keywords : Black soldier fly; live larvae; dried larvae; immune response; egg quality; body weight; feather condition scoring;

    Abstract : Due to increasing prices and potential scarcity of soybean meal (SBM), there is growing demand for alternative and sustainable protein sources in poultry production. Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) have proven to be a suitable alternative based on nutritional value and sustainable production. READ MORE

  5. 4. Predicting Treatment Performance Using Ternary Plot : Macronutrients’ impact on biomass conversion efficiency

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Madeleine Gobl; [2022]
    Keywords : Black soldier fly; organic waste treatment; biomass conversion efficiency; treatment performance; macronutrients; ternary plot; organic waste; amerikansk vapensflugan; triangulär diagram; organiskt avfallsbehandling; organiskt avfall; behandlingseffektivitet; biomassomvandlings-effektivitet; makronäringsämnen;

    Abstract : Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) waste treatment is becoming a more sought-after organic waste treatment since it produces larvae for animal feed as well as fertilizer, the need for prediction and optimization of treatment performance increases. This study aims to predict biomass conversion efficiency (BCE) for waste going into treatment, using only the nutritional data from other studies as it could give a good performance estimation while using available data.

  6. 5. Design and evaluation of black soldier fly larvae and frass compost separator

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Daniel Ismail Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; Mechanical Engineering; Black Soldier Fly Larvae; Hermetia Illucens; Mechanical Screening; Vibrating Sieve;

    Abstract : Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) composting is a treatment procedure that generates two products: frass compost and BSFL. These products have different uses. BSFL can be used as animal feed and frass compost as soil fertiliser, and they need to be separated after the composting procedure has been finished. READ MORE
