“…The average weight of the prepupae in this experiment was lower than the average weight of the larvae on Day 11, which is similar to the result obtained by Cheng et al [ 26 ] and Kim et al [ 32 ], because the prepupae ceased feeding and began to eliminate the remaining food from their digestive systems in preparation to pupate. In this stage, the prepupae use the reserve fats in their body to generate energy since movements and metamorphosis require energy, as reported by Mirwandhono et al [ 33 ].…”

The increase in the global population has led to a rise in organic waste generation and landfill sites. Consequently, there has been a global shift in focus towards the utilization of BSFL to address these challenges. This study aims to design, develop, and test a user-friendly BSFL bin and identify the optimal MCCM for treating organic waste using BSFL. The four BSFL bins have a dimension of 330 mm (width) × 440 mm (length) × 285 mm (height). This study uses mixtures of food waste added with different MCCMs, including chicken feed, rice bran, and garden waste. We add the mediums to the BSFL bins every third day and measure the humidity, ambient temperature, pH, medium temperature, and BSFL weight and length. The measurements show that the fabricated BSFL bins can fulfill the BSF lifecycle requirements. Wild BSFs lay eggs in the medium of BSFL bins, and the hatched larvae decompose it. When they reach the prepupae stage, they climb the ramp into the harvesting container. The results show that the food waste without MCCM produced the heaviest (0.228 g) and longest (2.16 cm) larvae; the prepupae are 2.15 cm long and weigh 0.225 g; and the growth rate is 53.72%. However, the high moisture content of 75.3% makes the maintenance work challenging. The medium with MCCM has a markedly lower moisture content of 51-58%. A comparison of the three MCCMs shows that the chicken feed produces the larvae and prepupae with the highest growth rate (the larvae are 2.10 cm long and weigh 0.224 g, the prepupae are 2.11 cm long and weigh 0.221 g, and the growth rate is 72.36%) and the frass with the lowest moisture content (51.2%). An effective BSFL composting system is easy to manage and produces the biggest larvae. In summary, food waste mixed with chicken feed is the most suitable MCCM for treating organic waste using BSFL.

“…It was a joint community-based activity for properly processing organic waste by minimizing the obstacles faced using other methods. One of them is the accumulation of unused organic fertilizer from composting because of its lower economic value [1][2][3]. Another weakness of organic waste composting is that it requires a long-time and a large area for the process.…”

“…The utilization of organic waste is continued through bioconversion using BSF larvae to become maggots with a nutritional composition close to the main ingredient for fish and poultry feed [3,4]. One of the nutrients is protein.…”

“…One of the nutrients is protein. Several studies have reported that fresh maggot contains high protein reaching 19.26-63.99% [1,3,5,6], so it is potentially used as an alternative source of animal protein for fish and poultry to overcome rather expensive feed costs [7]. Hanim et al [2] have stated that organic matter containing protein > 19.00% can be classified as a source of protein.…”

“…Maggots can live and grow by absorbing nutrients from any organic material. Maggots also tolerate fluctuations in pH and humidity and do not act as disease vectors [2, 3,7]. Furthermore, maggots have a short life cycle, around four weeks, which increases the potential for largescale farming at a low cost [2,7].…”

Undoubtedly, the bioconversion of organic waste into maggots is an innovation to reduce organic waste generation. Nonetheless, maggot cultivators only use available organic waste as feed, without adjustments, which makes the nutritional value of maggot produced inconsistent. The current study aims to determine appropriate organic waste and farming periods based on the nutritional value of maggots. This research was conducted using a field-scale experimental method for 21 days. A total of 9 experimental variations of organic waste type and farming period were observed, i.e., kitchen waste, rotten vegetables, and a mixture of both (50:50, w/w) for 7, 14, and 21 days of farming, respectively. The results showed that the appropriate organic waste for maggot farming is kitchen waste, with a farming period of 14 days. During the 14-day farming process, maggot weight increased 1,750 times to 3,500 grams, with protein and fat content of 38.28% and 28.47%, respectively. The protein content in maggot meets the minimum requirements for fish and poultry use as an alternative feed.

The leather processing industry always experiences growth every year. However, at the stage of processing leather to become raw material for a product, it produces a lot of solid waste containing hazardous materials used during the process. The resulting hazardous materials can cause pollution to the surrounding environment. Hence, there needs to be a solution to handle this solid waste, so that it does not pollute the surrounding environment. Magot Black Soldier Fly (BSF) cultivation training is a technique that can be used as a solution to process solid waste from the leather tanning industry so that it has high selling value. In a study, BSF cultivation shows circular economic results and future opportunities for investors, which will lead to increased demand. The cultivation of BSF as an alternative for processing waste into organic fertilizer and animal feed is a promising technology. It is worth inoculating, especially in countries that have low incomes with expensive fertilizer and animal feed costs. BSF maggot cultivation training was conducted for MSME players in the Sukaregang leather industry in the Garut district. The results of the evaluation were that 99% of the training activity participants felt that the training provided was very targeted and the material provided was appropriate, and easy to understand. So it can be concluded that the training provided is appropriate and beneficial for leather industry MSMEs, whoever participates. Keywords: BSF, economic empowerment, leather industry
