Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional value of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) and its suitability as animal feed – a review
TL;DR: Although BSF larvae contain high protein levels, and other macro- and micronutrients important for animal feed, available studies suggest that it could only partially replace traditional feedstuff, because high or complete replacement resulted in reduced performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of larval density and dietary nutrient concentration on performance, body protein, and fat contents of black soldier fly larvae ( Hermetia illucens ).
TL;DR: This study indicates that larval protein content is regulated within narrow limits, whereas larval crude fat content is strongly affected by nutrient concentration and by larval density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of dietary protein and carbohydrate on life‐history traits and body protein and fat contents of the black soldier fly Hermetia illucens
Karol B. Barragán-Fonseca,Karol B. Barragán-Fonseca,Gerrit Gort,Marcel Dicke,Joop J. A. van Loon +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a high macronutrient content combined with a low P:C ratio positively affects H. illucens performance and results in a high larval body protein content and an intermediate crude fat content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of the Black Soldier Fly (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) on Vegetable Residue-Based Diets Formulated Based on Protein and Carbohydrate Contents
Karol B. Barragán-Fonseca,Karol B. Barragán-Fonseca,Julián Pineda-Mejia,Julián Pineda-Mejia,Marcel Dicke,Joop J. A. van Loon +5 more
TL;DR: All diets supported a higher larval performance than reported previously, with diet 4 having 47% P+C being the best performing diet, infer that not only total macronutrient content but also nutritional quality of proteins and carbohydrates affected performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional plasticity of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) in response to artificial diets varying in protein and carbohydrate concentrations
Karol B. Barragán-Fonseca,Karol B. Barragán-Fonseca,Gerrit Gort,Marcel Dicke,J.J.A. van Loon +4 more
TL;DR: Protein (P) and carbohydrate (C) concentrations present in food affect larval performance, larval body nutrient concentration, and fecundity of the black soldier fly (BSF).
