On January 20, the Guangdong Provincial Standardization Association released the group standard "Technical Specifications for Feeding Black Soldier Flies Surviving Kitchen Waste". The problem of kitchen waste disposal is expected to be completely solved by breeding black soldier flies and solved by a kind of insect. The garbage problem can be said to be another new measure for my country's breeding industry.

It is understood that there are currently two main methods of processing food waste. One is to make organic fertilizer. However, the high oil and salt characteristics of kitchen waste cannot be completely eliminated during the treatment process. After such organic fertilizer is put into the field, not only does it fail to achieve the ideal growth effect, but it also brings many negative effects to the soil.

< p>The second is to carry out landfill treatment. Landfill treatment is expensive and can easily pollute groundwater and the environment, so it is not an ideal treatment method.

Using black soldier flies for transformation can also achieve two effects. First, it can digest kitchen waste or livestock and poultry manure (pig manure, cow manure, chicken manure, etc.). The feces discharged are pure organic fertilizer (similar to earthworm feces) without heavy metal pollution and miscellaneous bacteria.

Second, black soldier fly larvae are high-protein feeds with extremely high nutritional value. This has been unanimously recognized in the world, and is known as the four major resource insects together with fly maggots, mealworms, and barley bugs. It is now very popular in the breeding industry.

According to Shao Zegang, a professional chicken farmer, feeding black soldier fly larvae to chickens can not only encourage hens to lay more eggs, but also make the chicken firmer and advance the slaughter time. In addition, black soldier fly larvae have a long growth period. Long, it is a veritable live feed. It can not only be fed to chickens, but also live bait for various fish. It can completely replace traditional feed and is low in cost.

After seeing this, have you become interested in the black soldier fly? So, what exactly is this bug? As an introduced insect, will it become as widespread as mosquitoes and flies?

The black soldier fly is native to the Americas and belongs to the family Diptera. It has the characteristics of rapid adult reproduction and large reproduction number; the larvae are saprophytic, have miscellaneous feeding habits, have a large food intake, tenacious vitality, and a high absorption and transformation rate. , easy to manage, low feeding cost and good animal palatability as feed, etc.

Our country began to introduce it as early as 2005. In recent years, it has been used to treat livestock manure and domestic waste. Due to the good prospects, there are also a few professional farmers, but currently they are mainly concentrated in our country. In the southern region, this may be related to the warm living habits of black soldier flies.

According to farmers, the black soldier fly is not environmentally invasive and will not cause invasion of alien species. Otherwise, it would not have been introduced vigorously in the first place. Although it likes saprophytic food, it is different from mosquitoes and flies. , it will not invade the human living environment. The most important thing is that the adult mouthparts have degenerated and basically do not eat. They only rely on water every day to maintain life, and they only have a survival life of about 10 days.

The growth period of larvae is very long. It takes 25 days from egg laying to emergence. The larvae are a typical "foodie". In addition to eliminating garbage, they also provide high-protein feed and food for humans. Organically fertilized and therefore, a beneficial insect that is very safe for humans.

< p> Regarding the way the black soldier fly handles kitchen waste, the farmer also said that the eggs or larvae they introduced are mainly the eggs or larvae of the black soldier fly. When feeding, the kitchen waste must be pulped, so that it is beneficial to the black soldier fly. Water flies eat faster and more. When the food waste in the breeding box is eaten, what is left are black soldier fly larvae and black granular feces (called insect sand). After separation, , the larvae are used as feed, and the "insect sand" is used to make organic fertilizer.

The emergence of a new thing will inevitably create many business opportunities. As an alternative in the breeding industry, the black soldier fly has also been hyped. While everyone sees the value of black soldier fly breeding, there are also many If "black-hearted" merchants who deceive under the guise of breeding do not investigate clearly in the early stage and rush to invest, the breeding may fail, leading to the feeling of being deceived.

Just like breeding earthworms, earthworms, scorpions, and cockroaches, "the sutra is a good sutra, but the key is misread." For unpopular breeding projects, everyone must not only investigate in advance, but also implement sales Channels, and there are at least two of these channels, otherwise don’t get started easily.

Take relatively mature poultry breeding as an example. The same breeding method and the same market conditions will produce two different breeding results. The same is true for unpopular breeding. Everyone must treat this calmly. , so as not to cause unnecessary losses to yourself.
