Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are a protein-rich feed ingredient for many animals, including poultry, fish, and pets. BSFL can be used to partially replace fish meal and soy meal in animal feed.
Why use BSFL in animal feed?
Protein: BSFL is high in protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals.
Cost: BSFL can reduce the cost of chicken feed.
Nutrition: BSFL is a good source of nutrients that promote healthy growth, stronger bones, and vibrant color.
Environmental impact: BSFL can be cultured using biodegradable waste, which can help reduce the environmental impact of food production.
What animals eat BSFL?
chickens, pigs, fish, prawns, lizards, turtles, dogs, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals.
How is BSFL used in animal feed?
BSFL can be used in aquafeeds.
BSFL can be used in poultry feed.
BSFL can be used in cattle feed.
BSFL can be used in pet food.
In the EU, BSFL is one of the few insect species that is approved for use in aquaculture feed.

Trends towards 2050 predict a steady population increase to 9 billion people, forcing an increased food/feed output from available agro-ecosystems resulting in an even greater pressure on the environment. Scarcities of agricultural land, water, forest, fishery and biodiversity resources, as well as nutrients and non-renewable
energy are foreseen.

Edible insects contain high quality protein, vitamins and amino acids for humans. Insects have a high food conversion rate, e.g. crickets need six times less feed than cattle, four times less than sheep, and twice less than pigs and broiler chickens to produce the same amount of protein. Besides, they emit less greenhouse gases and ammonia than conventional livestock. Insects can be grown on organic waste. Therefore, insects are a potential source for conventional production (mini-livestock) of protein, either for direct human consumption, or indirectly in recomposed foods (with extracted protein from insects); and as a protein source into feedstock mixtures

Since 2003, FAO has been working on topics pertaining to edible insects in many countries worldwide. FAO’s contributions cover the following thematic areas:

the generation and sharing of knowledge through publications, expert meetings and a web portal on edible insects.
awareness-raising on the role of insects through media collaboration (e.g. newspapers, magazines and TV);
the provision of support to member countries through field projects (e.g. the Laos Technical Cooperation Project);
networking and multidisciplinary interactions (e.g. stakeholders working with nutrition, feed and legislation-related issues) with various sectors within and outside FAO.
