R code and data for paper: Upgrading ammonia-nitrogen from manure into body proteins in black soldier fly larvae

The aim of the study was to quantify the incorporation of ammonia (NH3)-nitrogen into black soldier fly body mass. For that we performed an experiment in which black soldier fly was reared in pig manure enriched with the isotope 15N in NH3. Larval samples were then analyzed for the presence of 15N. The outcome of this study contributes to quantify the potential of BSFL for manure management and as a circular protein source.

本研究旨在定量分析氨（NH₃）态氮向黑水虻（Black Soldier Fly）虫体生物量中的整合量。为此我们开展了一项实验，将黑水虻幼虫饲养于添加了氨态15N同位素的猪粪基质中。随后对采集的幼虫样本进行了15N同位素含量检测。本研究结果有助于量化黑水虻幼虫（BSFL）在粪肥管理及作为循环蛋白源方面的应用潜力。
