‘High-protein fly larvae an alternative to chicken and fish feed’

BACHOK: Breeding flies may sound peculiar, but in aquaculture, black soldier fly (BSF) larvae are an alternative source of chicken and fish feed.

Universiti Malaya (UM) social engineering research group senior lecturer Dr Norhidayah Mohd Taufek said based on her four-year research, BSF or its scientific name Hermetia Illucens, is a cheaper alternative to buying livestock feed from the market.
