1. Why raise flies?It was found that flies have a lot of antibacterial proteins in their bodies, which have strong disease resistance. This gave scientists a positive idea: how to use the antibacterial proteins in flies. After research, it was found that fly maggots contain a lot of antibacterial proteins, which makes it easy to extract. They set up a fly farm, bred sterile flies in large quantities, and extracted antibacterial proteins from the maggots. 2. What is the function of flies? Why do they exist?The existence of flies plays a very important role. First of all, flies are carrion-eating insects. They rely on decaying organic matter since they were born. Don't underestimate these little animals, they are very hardworking decomposers. With their hard work, they can decompose some things such as human and animal feces, animal remains, etc. They work together with bacteria to make the world clean. Imagine: if there were no flies and bacteria, the earth would be covered with animal carcasses and feces. Secondly, flies have high scientific research value. Scientists have studied why maggots can survive in a corrupt environment full of bacteria without being infected, and found that special proteins in their bodies have anti-viral and anti-infective functions. If this special function is applied to human medicine, it will benefit human health. Speaking of medical value, flies can also heal highly infected wounds. Finally, flies have a strong reproductive capacity. In the field of livestock and poultry farming, people can feed poultry with maggots from raised flies. Poultry can be more resistant to disease and have richer nutrition, thus achieving ecological farming. Existence is reasonable! Although flies usually disturb our lives, they are indeed silently contributing to us humans! 3. What are the ten benefits of raising flies?Although flies always hang out in dirty places, they themselves cannot get sick. Scientists have found in their research that there is a substance in the larvae of flies that has a particularly strong bactericidal ability - antimicrobial peptides, which is the fundamental reason why flies cannot get sick. We put the antimicrobial peptides on a plate with bacteria and observed that the antimicrobial peptides can immediately surround the bacteria one by one. After 5 to 6 hours, all the bacteria are killed. If antimicrobial peptides are used to treat people, they can quickly kill the bacteria in the human body without being toxic to humans. 2. Chitosan extracted from fly larvae is indispensable in the production of medicine, food, health products, cosmetics, etc. It also has the function of directly inhibiting cancer cells, regulating physiological functions, and enhancing resistance, and is known as the sixth life element of human beings. 3. Although flies are small, they are full of treasures! Even the discarded feed of houseflies can be used to produce pollution-free organic fertilizer, which is especially suitable for growing flowers and vegetables. The feeding habits of flies depend on their species. Some specialize in sucking nectar and plant juices, while others specialize in eating human and animal blood or blood from animal wounds and eye and nasal secretions. The common houseflies, golden flies, silky green flies, blowflies, and flesh flies are omnivorous flies, that is, they widely feed on human food, livestock and poultry secretions and excretions, kitchen scraps, and organic matter in garbage. They have a strong tendency to sugar, vinegar, ammonia, and fishy smells. According to research, if female flies are simply supplied with water, sugar, and carbohydrates, they can grow, but their ovaries cannot develop and lay eggs; only by adding protein food or multiple amino acids can they lay eggs normally. If royal jelly is used to feed female houseflies, the early egg-laying period can be shortened and the egg-laying amount can be increased. Flies have a very diverse diet, and they like fragrant, sweet, sour, and smelly foods. When they eat, they spit out crop fluid to dissolve the food. They are used to eating, spitting, and defecating at the same time. Some people have observed that when food is abundant, flies defecate 4 to 5 times a minute. While eating, flies also eat bacteria that are harmful to them, so the method of "eating and spitting" helps to quickly eliminate bacteria. Generally, it only takes 7 to 11 seconds for flies to process food, absorb nutrients, and excrete waste. When encountering bacteria with rapid reproduction ability, the fly's immune system will emit two globulins, BF64 and BD2. Once they come into contact with bacteria, they will "explode" and "die together" with the bacteria. The emission of these two globulins is always one after the other, in pairs, and never mixed up. 4. Why do some people raise flies?Flies are raised to feed chickens and ducks. Fly larvae, also known as maggots, are the best feed for chickens and ducks. Maggots contain a lot of protein and are top-quality feed. Now many people raise flies to raise meat maggots, which are healthy and clean, and also to sell to people for eating. Fried meat maggots are sterile and healthy. They are all raised to make money. 5. What is the use of raising flies?1. Although flies always hang out in dirty places, they themselves cannot get sick.

What is the value of flies?Decomposition is very important to nature, and this may be the only thing that flies are worth praising. Flies are not completely useless, they actually have a wide range of use value for humans. In many places in the world, there are "delicacies" made from flies. Biologists believe that flies contain a lot of protein and ingredients that are beneficial to the human body. In France and North America, flies are eaten. In addition to being eaten by humans, flies can also be used to feed various poultry and livestock, and can also be used as fish feed. It is said that the feeding effect is very good. In the scientific development of mankind, flies are also an important reference species. Its unpredictable flying ability and a pair of sharp compound eyes have become the target of scientific research. Flies themselves can also play an important role in biological experiments. 7. Is it profitable to raise flies?The benefits are considerable!! Since ancient times, fly maggot protein food has always been a hot topic of discussion. As early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the famous Zhong Jiefu Pharmacy in Xitang Town, Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, used fly maggots to make the famous Eight Immortals Cake, which has been passed down to this day (now called Eight Treasures Cake). It has become a local food therapy product suitable for both the young and the old, with a unique flavor and both medicinal and edible. It is used to entertain guests and give gifts to relatives and friends during festivals. After years of careful research, American scientist Lind first proposed in 1919 that flies can be used to turn decay into magic and convert human and animal feces into animal protein. In the 1960s, the Soviet Union and North Korea and other countries successively established fly maggot factories specializing in the production of animal protein nutritional powder. In Paris, the capital of France, there is a famous insect restaurant that specializes in serving fried flies and other famous dishes. North American Indians have long cooked flies into the unique "Guchabi" cake, which is mouth-watering. In Mexico, the "hometown of insect food", fly eggs are processed into delicious and fragrant "caviar". According to a report by Swedish media in 1982, a popular dish called Housefly Lobster was first introduced in a hotel called Fokfu in the capital Stockholm. It is made by mixing 5%t fly maggot powder into flour, adding lobster and other ingredients, and deep-frying it in a frying pan to make a high-end delicacy with color, aroma and taste. It is delicious and refreshing, and has become a long-lasting signature dish of this hotel. The world-renowned American Coca-Cola Company heard the news and used 3% fly maggot protein powder. After baking and other processes, it was cooked into a unique infant biscuit, which was praised by the media as "the best food for babies". It is said that this fly maggot powder biscuit has the effect of enhancing the body's immune function and preventing colds. It is also suitable for the elderly with declining digestive function. In recent years, a new health food "Old People's Crisp" developed by a Japanese food company is also cooked with nutritious and well-known fly maggot protein powder as the main ingredient. In London, the capital of the United Kingdom, some famous restaurants have launched an innovative dish - lion snake salad, which is made by mixing fly maggot protein powder with high-grade flour, mixing it into salad, and frying it in warm oil. As soon as it was launched on the market, it was highly praised by gourmets. Other hotels are not far behind. After cooking the sterile fly maggot protein powder, they use the soy product "Qian Zhang" as a coating, add Western seasonings such as beef curry, and wrap it into a Chinese-style "baiye bun". It has become a delicious snack that people are eager to taste. In the past decade, the technology of extracting fly maggot protein has been improved day by day, and the benefits are remarkable. This new type of protein can be widely used to make pastries, nutritional supplements and additives for fortified foods, becoming an important raw material for the food industry. Germany's insect protein purification project has been put into large-scale production. The nutrients such as protein, amino acids, and fat extracted from fly maggots are used to make new health foods, which have been recognized and approved by food hygiene departments in many countries. Not long ago, more than 80 entomologists in my country gathered at the National Resource Insect Industrialization Development Seminar to discuss the prospects of insect industrialization, including flies. During the meeting, my country's first large-scale "insect banquet" with a unique style was set up. More than ten kinds of insects that were once daunting, such as locusts, ants, and red bollworms, have been transformed into a dazzling array of delicious dishes after careful planning by scientific researchers and processing by chefs. Among them, the exquisite dishes and drinks cooked and brewed with fly maggots as the main ingredients, such as Yusun Ma Fruit, Engineering Bread, Narcissus Active Nutrition Wine, and Narcissus Active Nutrition Drink, have opened the eyes of viewers and tasters and have been praised. There are so many of them. Authoritative sources predict that as the leader of insect food, especially fly maggots, will rise rapidly and become one of the important resources of human protein food in the 21st century, with huge development potential and promising market prospects. No wonder the Insect Protein Research Institute of Shandong University has invested 7 million yuan to build a large fly maggot factory with a monthly output of 2 tons of dried fly maggots, specializing in the production of nutritional protein powder, deacetylated chitin and maggot oil and other rare products in the market. According to British and American medical literature, fly maggot therapy can be used to treat seriously infected wounds. The main arguments are: First, fly maggot therapy can avoid the disadvantages of antibiotic treatment that produces antibiotic properties. This treatment has no adverse reactions, does not require anesthesia, and does not harm healthy tissues at the wound. It is recommended to use fly maggots to treat necrotic wounds at an early stage. Second, fly maggots can treat infections caused by antibiotic-resistant strains. Fly maggots can eliminate bacteria in the wound, which is believed to be related to the fact that fly maggots can produce antibiotic substances and change the pH value of the wound when engulfing bacteria. Third, clinical practice has shown that fly maggots have a good effect on bedsores, diabetes, foot ulcers and postoperative wound infections. Fourth, place sterile fly maggots on the wound and cover it with a dressing to prevent escape. The fly maggots will engulf the necrotic and infected tissues at the wound. Remove the dressing after 1-3 days. At this time, the fly maggots have matured and will not continue to harm healthy tissues. It can be said that flies are the real antibacterial champions in the insect world. They live in rotten and filthy places for their entire lives, pushing billions of bacteria and viruses but never get sick. One of the secrets is that they contain unique "antibacterial active proteins" in their bodies. Only one ten-thousandth of the concentration of this protein is enough to kill all the bacteria in the human body. Its bactericidal factor is thousands of times higher than that of penicillin! This active protein can also stimulate the secretion of human growth factor, which is conducive to wound healing. This provides new clues for humans to develop new and efficient antibiotics. Scientists imagine that if the precious antibacterial active proteins can be extracted from flies and transferred to humans, an indestructible and powerful defense line that can resist any disease can be built in the human body. In addition, the hemolymph of flies contains anti-cancer ingredients such as lectins, and the maggots contain "fecal alkali-producing bacteria", which can inhibit various bacteria of skin abscesses and promote the formation of new epidermis and wound healing. According to measurements, flies also contain 2-%-4% phospholipids, which have the functions of protecting cell membranes, lowering blood lipids, and preventing cardiovascular diseases. In 1997, the Shanghai Science and Technology News reported that a group of experts from Wuhan University and Huazhong Agricultural University, in cooperation with American scholars, extracted chitosan, Linuo Vitality, which is highly promising and known as the "sixth essential life element for the human body", from the maggots of "engineered flies" that are "immune to all kinds of poisons and diseases". They also extracted a new type of nutritious tonic product, Linuo Jianzhisu, from the lymphatic blood of fly maggots. It has now entered commercial production. According to a report by Jinwanbao on November 22, 2000, after two years of intensive exploration, researchers from the School of Life Sciences of Nankai University and the School of Materials Science of Tianjin University successfully isolated a series of antimicrobial peptides from the maggot plasma proteins in flies, which are efficient enough to kill a variety of pathogens. The researchers placed the antimicrobial peptides in a bacterial culture dish, and after 5-6 hours, a clear antibacterial circle was formed, and all the bacteria in the circle died. Experts confirmed that antimicrobial peptides have a power in killing bacteria that is unmatched by current medical antibiotics. Experts predict that by the 21st century, flies are expected to become the "nemesis" of a variety of pathogens. In summary, flies and their larvae have a wide range of uses in medical care, have great potential, and have broad development prospects. |
