Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fermented coconut dregs (FCD) and rumen contents (FRC) mixture as rearing substrates on prepupae and pupae development of black soldier fly. Method used in this study was an experiment with five treatments and five replicates. The treatments were various proportions of FCD and FRC mixtures including T0: 100% FCD, T1: 95% FCD + 5% FRC, T2: 90% FCD + 10% FRC, T3: 85% FCD + 15% FRC, and T4: 80% FCD + 20% FRC. Results showed that various proportions of FCD and FRC mixtures significantly affect (P < 0.05) prepupae development. Increasing the proportion of FRC reduced (P < 0.05) the length, width, and weight of prepupae, with T4 showing the lowest value. Pupae development also significantly differed (P < 0.05) among rearing substrates. Increasing the proportion of FRC leads to a reduction in pupae length, width, and weight, with T4 resulted in the lowest pupae development traits. It could be concluded that while FRC can be incorporated into the rearing substrate, higher proportions may hinder optimal prepupae and pupae development of black soldier fly. The use of 95% fermented coconut dregs + 5% fermented rumen contents as rearing substrate provide a viable option for sustainable waste management without compromising the development of black soldier fly.
