Utilization of Black Soldier Fly and Housefly as Biodegradation Agents of Dairy Wastes and source of Animal Feed
Abstract
Accumulation of dairy wastes and shortage of nutritious feed remain the major challenges in dairy cattle production. Such wastes may sustainably be biodegraded by black soldier fly (BSF) larvae and housefly (HF) larvae into their which ca be used as animal feed. This study was done to compare the capacity of using black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) and housefly larvae (HFL) to manage dairy wastes and use of such larvae as livestock feed. Biomass reduction rate, biomass reduction index, bioconversion rate, feed conversion ratio and nutritional profile of resultant BSF and HF prepupae raised on cow dung (CD) and dairy shed effluent (DSE) were determined. In order to ascertain whether the substrates had an effect on BSFL and HFL, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used, and multiple mean comparisons at P≤0.05 were done using the Tukey HSD post-hoc test. Housefly larvae reared on DSE had the highest biomass reduction rate and biomass reduction index, even though HFL had a shorter development time than BSFL (P≤0.05). Housefly prepupae reared on DSE had the highest crude protein content of 60.1 % of all the HF prepupae counterparts and BSF prepupae reared on DSE and CD (P≤0.05), Hence HF prepupae could be an alternative source of animal feed. Depending on the needs and purpose, utilization of fly larvae to manage dairy waste is viable and effective option
