Great study by my colleagues in South Africa!

As you know, a number of studies have been published on the production of BSF or its use as a feed ingredient; however, few have take this work to the next level and examined the impact of including BSF as part of a diet on the flavor and other characteristics of the livestock consuming it.  

Well, our colleagues have done such a study for poultry. 

Elsje, P., E. S. W, U. Tulimo, and H. L. C. Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) pre-pupae meal as a dietary protein source for broiler production ensures a tasty chicken with standard meat quality for every pot. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture 0.

Their results indicate including 15% BSF in the diet of poultry (broiler) flavor or other characteristics!  Nice job!

So my question... how high can we go with inclusion of BSF as part of a broiler's diet?
