Organic waste-eating insects: The Black Soldier Fly (BSF) is an insect that does not carry disease. And is not a pest The caterpillars feed on organic matter, plants and animals. And when insects enter the pre-pupae phase (prepupae), insects have high nutritional value such as protein 42-50%, fat 35%, energy 2,900 kcal / kg, amino acids and other nutrients Any Therefore, BSF is a useful insect. Able to use the worm phase to help reduce the amount of organic waste And has the ability to replace organic waste To be good protein and fat It has high nutritional value and is suitable for use as protein and fat supplement in animal feed.
