Abstract
Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot is an eco-friendly alternative for animal feedstuff and its growth and development is impacted by a substrate nutrient. Therefore, this study aims to determine the production and nutrient composition of BSF (Hermetia illucens) maggots using different fermented growth media from agriculture by-products. The study adopted a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments with 4 replications. The treatments include P0 = 100% Fermented Rice Bran, P1 = 50% each of Fermented Coconut by-product and Rice Bran, P2 = 50% each of Fermented Tofu by-product and Rice Bran, P3 = 50% each of Fermented Palm Kernel Meal and Rice Bran, P4 = 25% each of Fermented Rice Bran, Coconut by-product, Fermented Tofu by-product, and Palm Kernel Meal. The results showed a significant difference in BSF maggot production in each treatment because of the media nutrient content. Therefore, the quantity is influenced by the quality and amount of the maggot growing media. Also, the protein content and the production in the P4 treatment have the highest values of 19.26% and 831.50g, respectively.
