Optimizing Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) production effects of substrate variation on biomass, nutritional quality, hatchability, fecundity, and frass quality

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Insects, such as the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens, BSF), are increasingly recognized for their potential to convert organic waste into high-quality protein and fertilizer inputs, thereby contributing to circular bioeconomy models. However, the type of substrate used significantly affects BSF production performance.
