Abstract

Black Soldier Fly (BSF) has emerged as a key species in sustainable waste management and alternative feed production systems. Reproductive performance of BSF determined by rearing substrate composition. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fermented coconut waste (FCW) and layer manure (FLM) as rearing substrates on egg production, size, and hatchability of BSF. Five rearing substrates with varying ratios of FCW and FLM were tested, namely T0 (100% FCW), T1 (95% FCW + 5% FLM), T2 (90% FCW + 10% FLM), T3 (85% FCW + 15% FLM), and T4 (80% FCW + 20% FLM). Variables observed were egg production, size (length and width), and hatchability. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, followed with Duncan post-hoc test. Results showed that BSF reared on T0 did not produce any egg, indicating unsuitability of rearing substrate for black soldier fly productivity. Egg production in T2 and T3 were higher (P<0.05) as compared to T1 and T4. However, egg length and width were not affected (P>0.05) by rearing substrates. The highest hatchability was observed in T2, followed by T1, while T3 and T4 showed lower hatchability (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the use of 90% FCW + 10% FLM is recommended as rearing substrate to optimize egg production and hatchability of BSF.
