Decomposition of Organic wastes by Black soldier fly larvae

Organic wastes management is a major problem in developing countries which requires an innovative intervention. Reducing amount organic waste as well as recovery waste source by using Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae appears as a promising alternative practice.If the BSF prepupae were marketed as speciality feeds, they contained high nutrient value. The protein content ranged from 39.53 – 59.16% with different types of waste sources were researched in this study. It could be concluded that BSF larvae not only degrade large amount of organic wastes that reduce the impact of organic waste in environment, but also convert to rich protein content prepupal biomass for animal feeding.
