Assessment of growth performance and gut bacterial communities of black soldier fly larvae reared on biowaste

This study aimed to evaluate the suitability of organic wastes as BSFL feed substrates. Waste substrates were selected based on local availability and with the aim of lowering cost. Gut bacterial communities were investigated from gut of BSFL fed with different waste substrates including food waste (FW), supermarket food leftovers (SU), fruit waste (FR), fruit waste mixed with soybean residue (FR+SR), and peanut coat mixed with soybean residue (PN+SR) compared with control standard substrate (CS).
