The Effects of Diet Formulation on the Yield, Proximate Composition, and Fatty Acid Profile of the Black Soldier Fly (<i>Hermetia illucens</i> L.) Prepupae Intended for Animal Feed

The Effects of Diet Formulation on the Yield, Proximate Composition, and Fatty Acid Profile of the Black Soldier Fly (<i>Hermetia illucens</i> L.) Prepupae Intended for Animal Feed

The black soldier fly (BSF; <i>Hermetia illucens</i> L.) is a very promising insect species due to the ability to convert low-value substrates in highly nutrient feed. This work aimed to study the effect of three nominally isoenergetic diets containing plant ingredients such as barley, a...
