“…Another consideration that could improve the model is to eliminate the pupa production (PP) unit, thus, the pupae for the adult colony could be obtained directly from the manure degradation unit. These pupae would be smaller, but it has been reported by Pastor et al (2011) that the size of housefly pupae does not affect the number of eggs produced.…”

“…Apart from varied climatic settings and manure characteristics, different production techniques and process intensities have been tested. The research findings provide a detailed description on optimal production conditions and process organisation, comprising particulars, such as optimal larval stocking densities, husbandry of adults and egg harvesting techniques (Čičková et al, 2012a,b, 2013Pastor et al, 2011Pastor et al, , 2014.…”

“…The aforementioned experimental studies conclude that the limiting factor in housefly driven manure biodegradation is the availability of eggs (Čičková et al, 2012b;Pastor et al, 2011). As a starting point for both production models we assumed a sequenced maintenance of 80 adult colonies that were kept in separate rearing cages (0.84 m 3 ), stocked with 34,000 individuals each (40,000 pupas).…”

The largest portion of a product's environmental impacts and costs of manufacturing and use results from decisions taken in the conceptual design phase long before its market entry. To foster sustainable production patterns, applying life cycle assessment in the early product development stage is gaining importance. Following recent scientific studies on using dipteran fly species for waste management, this paper presents an assessment of two insect-based manure treatment systems. Considering the necessity of manure treatment in regions with concentrated animal operations, reducing excess manure volumes with the means of insects presents a potentially convenient method to combine waste reduction and nutrient recovery. An analytical comparison of rearing houseflies on fresh and pretreated pig manure is reported with reference to agricultural land occupation, water and fossil depletion potential. Based on ex-ante modelled industrial scale rearing systems, the driving factors of performance and environmentally sensitive aspects of the rearing process have been assessed. Expressed per kg manure dry matter reduction, the estimated agricultural land occupation varied between 1.4 and 2.7 m 2 yr, fossil depletion potential ranged from 1.9 to 3.4 kg oil eq and the obtained water depletion potential was calculated from 36.4 to 65.6 m 3 . System improvement potential was identified for heating related energy usage and water consumption. The geographical context and the utility of the co-products, i.e. residue substrates and insect products, were determined as influential variables to the application potential of this novel manure treatment concept. The results of this study, applied at the earliest stages of the design of the process, assist evaluation of the feasibility of such a system and provide guidance for future research and development activities.

“…The quantity ingested by the larvae is so low in the first case that larvae spend more time feeding than when fed on hen feed diets, however, even so the energy resources of the adults are insufficient for normal development and reproduction. For this reason it is very important to analyze the whole life history of insects reared on different diets in order to determine the effects these diets have on the fitness of BSF adults (Blanckenhorn, 2000;Gotthard et al, 2007;Pastor et al, 2011).…”

Abstract. Larvae of Hermetia illucens feed on different types of decomposing organic matter and their development depends on the quality and quantity of food ingested. In this study the effect of three artificial diets was analyzed, namely hen feed, meat meal and a mixture of these two diets. The effects of diet on ovarian development, size, mortality, duration of the larval and pupal stages and sex ratio were studied. Results indicate that the meat meal diet was the worst of the three diets in terms of percentage mortality and duration of the larval and pupal stages. We conclude that food ingested by the black soldier fly larvae determines both the physiological and morphological development of the adults.

ABSTRAKLalat rumah (Musca domestica) merupakan serangga urban yang dapat berperan sebagai vektor penyakit. Serangga ini umumnya menggunakan limbah organik sebagai sumber makanan bagi larvanya. Area peternakan merupakan salah satu bentuk industri yang menghasilkan limbah organik yang memiliki potensi sebagai media hidup bagi larva lalat rumah. Area peternakan di Indonesia umumnya terletak pada lokasi yang berdekatan dengan perumahan penduduk sehingga diperlukan suatu metoda untuk pengendalian populasi lalat rumah pada daerah peternakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat perkembangan dari larva lalat rumah yang hidup pada berbagai jenis kotoran ternak. Kotoran yang digunakan adalah kotoran ayam, sapi dan kuda, sedangkan untuk kontrol digunakan bekatul yang merupakan pakan standar pemeliharaan larva lalat rumah di laboratorium. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa larva yang hidup pada kotoran kuda memiliki laju perkembangan paling tinggi (5 hari), akan tetapi memiliki tingkat keberhasilan hidup larva (30%), berat pupa (6,8 ± 0,141 g), dan berat imago betina (4,9 ± 0,14 g) terendah di antara materi uji lainnya. Hal ini mengindikasikan kualitas nutrisi yang rendah pada kotoran ini. Hasil penelitian ini perlu dilanjutkan dengan penelitian pada faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan populasi secara langsung, seperti tingkat fekunditas lalat betina dan keberhasilan hidup telur. Dengan penambahan data-data baru pada penelitian lanjutan diharapkan metoda pengendalian populasi lalat rumah pada daerah peternakan dapat didesain dengan tepat.Kata kunci: keberhasilan hidup larva, kotoran ternak, lalat rumah, nutrisi larva, waktu perkembangan ABSTRACTHouse fly (Musca domestica) is an important urban insect that can transmit various infectious diseases. This insect usually utilized organic wastes as nutrition source for their larvae. One of the main sources of organic wastes is livestock manure produced by animal farming located near human dwelling area. Thus, appropriate house fly population control program at animal farm is needed, based on information on the house fly's life history. The research is focused on the development of house fly larvae reared with different livestock manures, such as cow, chicken, and horse. As comparison, rice bran were used as control. Results showed that larvae reared with horse manure has the shortest development time (5 days), with lowest larval survival rate (30%), pupal weight (6.8 ± 0.141 g), and weight of female imago (4.9 ± 0.14 g). This finding indicates the lowest nutrition value of horse manure for house flies larvae. Further research is needed to find the effect of manure
