CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to use fruit residue and vegetable peels to feed black soldier flies?

Hello.

As a saprophytic insect, black soldier flies can feed on various organic wastes to produce high-value animal protein. Peanut bran, wheat bran, fish meal or soybean meal are generally the best feed for raising black soldier flies. However, fruit residues and vegetable peels can also be used for raising black soldier flies. The method is as follows:

Equipment: The best breeding ground for black soldier flies is a place with sufficient direct sunlight, good ventilation and convenient transportation. There should be an adult egg-laying room and a larval breeding room. If the temperature is controlled, it can be raised all year round.

Feed preparation: First, crush the kitchen waste with a crusher. Since the crushed material tends to contain too much water, you can use a saw to adjust the humidity to about 60%.

During the incubation period (4 days), the eggs are placed at 27 degrees for incubation.

Larvae rearing (15 days): The body color of the newly hatched larvae is milky white - grayish white - brown - dark brown. When the body color turns to dark brown, they stop eating and crawl to a dry place.

If you use a box to raise flies: a yellow plastic box with a specification of 40×60×10, and the breeding pond can be made of cement with a width of 1 meter, a length of 2 meters and a height of up to 1 meter.

The early to middle stage of the pupal period (15 days) is the late stage of the pupal movement, when it is in a dormant state and ready for emergence: first put the pupa into a container and pour in water.

Adult rearing (10 days) Black soldier flies can fly during their growth period, so we need to prevent them from escaping. A three-dimensional rack with a width of 2 meters, a length of 3 meters, and a height of 2 meters is covered with a mud dragon net or iron window screen on the outside, leaving a door for the breeder to enter and exit. An egg-collecting table is placed inside, and an automatic sprayer (hand-operated type is also acceptable) is installed on the top. One or more egg-collecting trays are placed on the table. The humidity is 25 to 27 degrees. Under natural light (adults need the stimulation of sunlight for mating), iodine tungsten lamps can be turned on on cloudy days, and the effect is 60 to 70% of sunlight. Adults do not eat and only need a certain amount of water.
