The European Parliament adopted a resolution in 2011 on the European Union (EU) protein deficit: what is the solution for a long-standing problem? (2010/2111(INI)) (European Parliament, 2012)
The first part of the trial examined the influence of four different feeding media (basal diet (CON), processed animal protein (PAP)-P, PAP-Mx and crude olive cake (COC)) in a 100% concentration on the BSF larvae (BSFL) length and weight
Additional groups were introduced in the second part of the experiment by mixing the PAP feeding media with 50% of the BD or WS, while the COC feeding media was enriched with MV
Summary
The European Parliament adopted a resolution in 2011 on the European Union (EU) protein deficit: what is the solution for a long-standing problem? (2010/2111(INI)) (European Parliament, 2012). The rearing of insects as an alternative source of protein for feed has become an area of intensive scientific research. The Hermetia illucens (L.) (black soldier fly, BSF) has emerged as one of the most interesting subjects of research, in the area of insects as alternative protein sources (Wang et al, 2017). Adult BSF are not considered pestiferous or invasive and they do not bite or sting (Sheppard et al, 2002; Čičková et al, 2015) Due to their behaviour and antimicrobial properties, they are not considered as biological vectors of specific pathogens, unlike most fly species (Furman et al, 1959; Sheppard et al, 2002; Choi et al, 2012)
