1. 1. Evaluation of novel climate-friendly feed for Nile tilapia in Tanzania

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

   Author : Vilma Johansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Black soldier fly; novel fish feed; circular aquaculture; sub-Sahara aquaculture; greenhouse gas emissions; LCA; Nile tilapia;

   Abstract : Tanzania is a country located in sub-Sahara Africa by the Indian Ocean. Tanzania's aquaculture sector is small but has the potential to grow. As the population grows, so does the demand for food. Nile tilapia is the most cultured fish in Tanzania due to its hardiness, fast growth and tolerance to many environmental conditions. READ MORE

3. 2. 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

4. 3. Insects raised on food waste : a new source of feed and food?

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Elisabet Henriksson; [2021]
   Keywords : mealworm; food waste; insects as food; insects as feed; black soldier fly; nutrition; sustainable food; sustainable feed;

   Abstract : An increasing global population demands an increase in food production, while human impact on the planet necessarily must be decreased to decelerate climate change. Resources currently lost as food waste could potentially be utilized to increase world food production amount and efficiency by feeding it to insects. READ MORE

5. 4. Providing live black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae to laying hens (Gallus gallus domesticus) using three different methods : effects on foraging behaviour and production parameters

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

   Author : Ronja Lindell; [2021]
   Keywords : laying hens; black soldier fly larvae; environmental enrichment; foraging; feather pecking;

   Abstract : Feather pecking is a major welfare issue in commercial egg production. Feather pecking is thought to be a form of re-directed foraging pecking behaviour. When hens are deprived of the necessary conditions to perform foraging behaviour the risk of developing feather pecking increases. READ MORE

6. 5. Baltic blue mussel (Mytilus edulis L.) and black soldier fly (Hermetia. illucens) combined with pea protein concentrate as protein sources in feed for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

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

   Author : Xiaoqing Cui; [2019]
   Keywords : aquaculture; rainbow trout; Baltic blue mussel; black solider fly larvae; digestibility; protein; fishmeal replacement;

   Abstract : A feeding trial was conducted for 9 weeks to test the growth performance, nutrient retention and digestibility in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in order to assess the potential of Baltic blue mussel meal (Mytilus edulis L) and black solider fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) meal as protein sources. The dietary treatments consisted of one control diet based on high quality fishmeal, one control diet based on pea protein concentrate for testing dietary palatability and two fishmeal-free experimental diets where approximately 20% of the crude protein from the fishmeal was replaced with the protein from either de-shelled blue mussel meal or larvae meal on a dry matter basis.
