Overview

Randomized trial examines growth performance and gut microbiota in black soldier fly larvae, suggesting dietary composition is crucial.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate how different feed substrates and processing affect the growth and microbiota of black soldier fly larvae.
  • Evaluated various feed substrates including soybean and cottonseed meal.
  • Applied processing treatments like boiling and extrusion to reduce antinutritional factors.
  • Assessed growth metrics such as larval weight, survival rates, and feed conversion rates.
  • The cottonseed meal group and antinutritional factor removed group showed better growth trends versus the Gainesville House Fly Diet group.
  • Heat-processed groups had higher maximum larval weights, survival rates, and feed conversion rates than untreated groups.
  • High-protein and high-fat diets resulted in higher fat and protein contents in BSFL.
