This Sunday afternoon I spent it doing what I typically do- cruising the internet in search of new information on the BSF. And, to my delight, I came across this wonderful PhD dissertation. I highly recommend it to those interested in gaining a stronger appreciation for what is known about this species while also reading about research conducted by the student on BSF and the role of nutrition and density on development. I also like the art work! Like with most studies, these were done at a bench top scale. So, take these results with a grain of salt as their application at an industrial scale may not translate into similar outputs. Furthermore, I am not sure of the origins of the BSF colony used for the research. So, it is not clear how the results translate to different populations. With that said- all studies should result in voucher specimens placed in a museum. Barragán-Fonseca, K. B. 2018. Flies are What They Eat: Tailoring Nutrition of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) for Larval Biomass Production. PhD, Wageningen University. Chapters 1&2 focus on the background of the species. I am very impressed by the student's writing and thoroughness (nice publication from this chapter in: Journal of Insects as Food and Feed: 3 (2) - Pages: 105 - 120; but you can access everything in the dissertation- link provided, simply click on citation above). Chapter 3 explores the impact of of larval density and dietary nutrient concentration on performance, body protein and fat contents of BSF. Chapter 4 dietary protein and carbohydrates on BSF. Chapter 5 explored the development of BSF on vegetable waste diets where they were formulated based on nutritional makeup. Chapter 6 also explored nutrition (protein and carbohydrates) on BSF development. Chapter 7 is a summary chapter of the research conducted.  Image from dissertation AuthorJeffery K.

I'm very interested in your research about black soldier flies. Now I am doing my research about BSF too. I need your paper full version. May I have your research paper please? 1/27/2021 02:30:16 am
<a href="https://shovaonline.com">SUMO Digital Scale </a>is evidently excellent among other Digital Scale makers. There are different sort of digital scales like kitchen scale, weighing machine, platform scale, floor scale, lab scale, truck scale and so forth. These scales made with dustproof setup to guarantee long supportability. Splendid and enormous size LED show makes simple to see readings. Calibration of these scales is done in own production factory by experts to ensure best precision. These scales are made dependent advanced microcontroller technology. High accuracy load cells and implicit long rechargeable battery give dependable assessments. To know more, generously consider us or visit our website. 1/3/2023 07:01:35 am
