This study was conducted to replace soya bean meal with maggot meal at difference percentages. A total of 120 one-day-old broiler chicks were divided into four groups. Four diets were formulated with maggot meal to replace soya bean meal at the rate of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% designated as A, B, C and D respectively. Feed and water were offered ad libitum during the study which lasted for 28 days. Feed intake decreased significantly in treated groups while body weight, Feed conversion ratio and dressing percentage increased significantly in group D. Apparent metabolizable energy increased significantly in the group fed 30% maggot meal; however, no significant difference was found in dry matter, crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract, ash and nitrogen free extract between the control and treated groups. The result of sensory evaluation revealed that tenderness and juiciness increased significantly in group C and B respectively. The colour and flavour were most accepted in group B and C. The results indicate that replacement of soya bean meal at the rate of 30% in broiler feed produced most favourable results.

“…Given the high forage and food value of Musca domestica, the cultivation of their larvae and pupae can alleviate the protein feed shortage (Akpodiete et al, 1997;Hwangbo et al, 2009;Iniguez-covarrubias et al, 1994;Miller et al, 1974;Ocio and Vinaras, 1979;van Huis, 2013;Yan et al, 2012;Zuidhof et al, 2003). Additionally, M. domestica larvae, or maggots, contain several biologically active substances, such as antimicrobial peptides, lectin and chitin Fu et al, 2009;Hou et al, 2007;Nayduch and Joyner, 2013;Tang et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2013).…”

Housefly maggot-treated composting as sustainable option for pig manure management

“…Because large volumes are required to supplement commercial poultry diets, the rearing technology for fly larvae requires further development. House flies can reproduce and develop in poultry and pig manure (Akpodiete et al 1997 ; Zhu et al 2012 ), but there are still a number of challenges to be addressed, including safety issues related to pathogens, heavy metals, and organic pollutants (Van 2013 ).…”

The gut microbiota in larvae of the housefly Musca domestica and their horizontal transfer through feeding

et al. 2017

House fly larvae provide a prolific and sustainable source of proteins used in poultry and fish feed. Wheat bran is a superior diet for house fly larvae and has been widely investigated to exploit its potential in the food and feed area. Using Illumina MiSeq 16S rDNA sequencing, this study investigated the gut microbiota of house fly larvae feeding on wheat bran and the bacterial community in the wheat bran. The bacterial communities in the house fly larvae were dominated by the phyla Proteobacteria and Firmicutes. Enterobacteriaceae and Providencia were the predominant bacteria at the family and genus levels, respectively. Some bacteria in the phyla Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes may be transferred from the gut of house flies to the wheat bran during feeding and may be involved in degrading and utilizing polysaccharides in the cell wall of wheat bran. The significance of the gut microbiota of house fly larvae, their transferring and roles in degradation of wheat bran is discussed. These findings regarding the gut microbiota of house fly larvae will provide opportunities for research on the impact of microbial communities on poultry and fish.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13568-017-0445-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
