Effectiveness of breeding larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia Illucens Linnaeus, 1758) on bran substrate

Abstract

The black soldier fly Hermetia illucens breeding began in the 90s of the 20 century and was considered as an ecological solution for turning agricultural waste into a protein-rich organic compound. Two problems can be solved by breeding flies: firstly, agricultural and food waste is disposed of in an ecological way, and secondly, valuable protein raw materials are obtained. Through this technology, the shortage of important nutritional components for the aquaculture and poultry sector will be eliminated. In addition, this component is very close to the content of fish meal, which is deficient in composition, and can be used instead of fish meal within the specified amount. The advantages of this component are that the product reaches mass within 10 days and can be preserved by drying. The decrease in the price of this product, mainly due to the utilization of agricultural waste, shows that this product is promising. Today, the black soldier fly has been cultivated in Uzbekistan, and the technology of cultivation in bran has been mastered. In the conditions of Uzbekistan, the cultivation process requires scientifically based information in order to determine which feed substrate is cheap and convenient. The conducted research is aimed at determining the growth and nutritional coefficient of bran and the development cycle and cost of this nutritional substrate. The article presents information from tests on raising black soldier fly hatchlings on bran nourishment substrate. Based on the information gotten, the timing of the advancement of larvae within the bran item, as well as the wholesome esteem of the bran, were indicated.
