Bioconversion of restaurant food waste via black soldier fly larvae into a high-value protein source for improving meat quality in finishing pigs

Key Points

• Improved meat quality in finishing pigs observed with bioconverted protein from food waste.
• Protein sourced from black soldier fly larvae significantly enhanced meat quality metrics.
• Bioconversion process involves using organic waste to create a sustainable protein source.
• Findings suggest that this approach may enable more sustainable livestock feeding practices.
