- Abstract
Black soldier fly (BSF) is increasingly recognized as a vital component of circular economy systems, facilitating organic waste recycling while producing alternative protein feed for the livestock industry. This study aimed to evaluate the growth performance of BSF larvae reared on varying ratios of fermented waste consisted of fermented coconut dregs (FCD) and fermented rumen contents (FRC). Five treatments were tested, namely T0 (100% FCD), T1 (95% FCD + 5% FRC), T2 (90% FCD + 10% FRC), T3 (85% FCD + 15% FRC), and T4 (80% FCD + 20% FRC). Larval length, width, and mass were measured at 6, 11, and 16 days. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, with significance set at P < 0.05. Duncan Multiple Range Test was used to differentiate treatment effects. Results showed that larvae in T0 had a higher length (P < 0.05) than those in T4 at 6 and 11 days. However, the larval length was not significantly differed (P > 0.05) among treatments at 16 days. In terms of larval width and mass, T0 consistently had a higher value (P < 0.05) as compared to T4 at 6, 11, and 16 days. In conclusion, 100% FCD is recommended as the optimal substrate for maximizing BSF larval growth.
