1. 11. Impact of fly specific bacteria on fly larvae composting

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Kristina Lundgren; [2019]
   Keywords : Fly larvae composting; Black soldier fly; Hermetia illuciens; BSF bacteria; Organic waste; Nutrient recycling; Eco-technology; Fluglarvskompostering; Amerikansk vapenfluga; Hermetia Illuciens; BSF bakterier; Organiskt avfall; Näringsåterföring; Grön teknik;

   Abstract : About one third of all edible food is wasted globally each year. This calls for improvements in resource and waste management. An interesting solution for organic waste is fly larvae composting, which both produces protein in the form of larvae and a nutrient rich residue. READ MORE

3. 12. Insekter som råvara i kattfoder

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

   Abstract : Katten är Sveriges vanligaste sällskapsdjur och det finns över en miljon katter i landet vilket medför en stor efterfrågan på kattfoder. Katten är en strikt karnivor och dess näringsbehov skiljer sig jämfört med de flesta sällskapsdjur då animaliskt protein utgör en viktig del av kattens diet. READ MORE

4. 13. Valorising Organic Waste using the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens), in Ghana

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Gabrielle Joly; [2018]
   Keywords : Review; case studies; food waste; faecal sludge; co-digestion; low-tech system; cost-benefit analysis CBA ; Etat de l’art; études de cas; déchets alimentaires; boues de vidange; co-traitement; système low-tech; analyse coûts-bénéfices; Granskning; fallstudier; livsmedelsavfall; fekalslam; sambehandling; lågteknologiskt system; kostnads-nyttoanalys;

   Abstract : Ghana as a rapidly growing and urbanizing middle-income country is facing a number of challenges, including (1) implementing a sanitary, environmental-friendly, and economically-sound waste management system; (2) increasing its agricultural productivity in a sustainable way to meet the growing domestic food demand; and (3) providing livelihood opportunities in both rural and urban areas. Using the black soldier fly (BSF), a particularly beneficial insect, to locally and cost-effectively valorise abundant, high-impacting, and nutrient rich organic waste streams, such as food waste (FW) and faecal sludge (FS), into affordable and sustainable farming inputs like organic fertilizer and animal feed products, could tackle all these challenges at the same time.

5. 14. Insect larvae (Hermetia illucens) as an alternative feed source for laying hens

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

   Author : Victoria Linder; [2018]
   Keywords : fjäderfä; Hermetia illucens; djurfoder; insektsmjöl;

   Abstract : The European egg industry is dependent on imported soy which contributes to climate change, partly because of deforestation and transport. Therefore, alternative feed sources are needed. The levels of soy used in poultry feed in Sweden are lower than the general levels in Europe. READ MORE

6. 15. Fatty acid composition of black soldier fly larvae : impact of the rearing substrate

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

   Author : Nils Ewald; [2018]
   Keywords : Black soldier fly; Hermetia illucens; fatty acids; omega-3 fatty acids; malondialdehyde; blue mussels; waste management;

   Abstract : With an increasing world population and meat consumption the black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) shows potential as feed for animals, while recycling nutrients from food waste. To produce larvae of high quality as animal feed, further understanding is needed of how the substrate affects the nutritional composition of the larvae. READ MORE
