BSF larvae touted as cheap and alternative feed

BREEDING the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) for its protein rich larvae could be a cost-effective alternative feed for fish and poultry, Harian Metro reported.

Universiti Malaya Faculty of Science’s Institute of Biological Sciences senior lecturer Dr Norhidayah Mohd Taufek said the production of BSF larvae could reduce the livestock industry’s heavy reliance on more expensive imported feed.
