“…Different studies suggested to use the cow dung, human waste, fruit waste, spend coffee ground, soybean dregs, etc. and they found different production rate and dry weight (Gougbedji et al, 2021;Permana and Ramadhani Eka Putra, 2018;Banks et al, 2014). The fly larvae comprised high protein, 56.60±0.25%, lipids 15.80±0.10% and ash content 15.40±0.07%, referring the potentiality of the maggot placing as feed material, especially as the protein source for human or cultured animal (Odesanya et al, 2011).…”

The fly larvae (Lucilia sericata) are being used as an alternative protein source in any kind of animal feed as it reduces the cost of preparation of feed. This current study focused on the physico-chemical and proximate properties of raw poultry waste, while this study also revealed the production process of fly larvae and the proximate composition of it. The poultry waste was collected from Suvro poultry farm, Sutiakhali, Mymensingh, then the physic-chemical properties of the raw poultry waste were determined using different procedures. Three treatments were considered for production of fly larvae, T1 (3 kg), T2 (6 kg) and T3 (9 kg) in a 15 kg capacity tray with three replications. After production, the proximate composition were also measured of fly larvae. Physico-chemical properties such as, color, odor, texture, temperature, pH, total solids (TSS+TDS), chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, available N, available P, and fiber in raw poultry waste were determined and presented. Proximate composition such as, moisture, total N, total P, available N, total Ca, ash and crude fiber were found in significant amount in the poultry waste. It was found that T3 (1350±68g) produced highest volume of live maggot compared to the other treatments, but T2 (17.50±1.10%) produced highest percentage volume. The proximate compositions of fly larvae were assessed and found 56.60±0.25% protein value in it, suggesting that fly larvae could be the protein replacer in fish feed. The result of this study revealed cheap protein source in aquaculture production, such as production and rearing of stinging catfish Heteropneustes fossilis, and the findings might be helpful for cost reduction in aquaculture operation.

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFLs) are used for recycling organic waste. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of cassava, yam and sweet potato peels on BSFL production. Four different treatments were performed in triplicate in a completely random block consisting of soy bran (TSB), cassava peel (TCP), yam peel (TYP) and sweet potato peel (TPP). A density of 1 larva/g of substrate was used with a uniform ratio of 100 mg/larva/day. Larval growth was 10 days, and growth monitoring was carried out every 2 days. The daily weight gain (DWG) ranged from 2.19 ± 0.09 g/d (TYP) to 4.53 ± 0.02 g/d (TSB). The production of these fungi ranged from 43.90 ± 1.87 g/kg of substrate (TYP) to 90.56 ± 0.54 g/kg of substrate (TSB). The degradation rate ranged from 36.00 ± 2.30% (TYP) to 65.00 ± 2.88% (TSB), and the survival rate ranged from 77.66 ± 1.45% (TYP) to 99.00 ± 0.28% (TSB). According to the Z correlation test, there was a strong correlation between the organic matter content of the substrates and the DWG (99.1%). It was also observed that phosphorus content was strongly correlated with DWG (92.9%). Regarding the nutritional quality of the larvae, the protein content varied from 33.51 ± 0.94% (TYP) to 40.64 ± 032% (TSB), and the lipid content varied from 26.24 ± 0.35% (TYP) to 30.44 ± 0.18% (TSB). We noticed generally a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the different treatments depending on the parameters. This study revealed that casava, yam and sweet potato peels can be used for BSFL production.

“…They also have general amino acid profile that is similar to that of fishmeal (Elwert et al, 2010), as well as the essential ones like lysine, threonine, and methionine, that are often lacking in plant-based protein sources for nonruminants (van Huis, 2015). The larvae are therefore recognized and utilized as alternative sources of protein for feed of poultry (e.g., Sumbule et al, 2021), pigs (e.g., Biasato et al, 2019;Chia et al, 2019), and fish (e.g., Gougbedji et al, 2021), and with lower production costs compared with the conventional feeds (Beesigamukama et al, 2021). It is also possible to extract chitinous substances for the bioeconomy from BSF byproducts (Soetemans et al, 2020), or use the oil from the extraction of the larvae for biodiesel (Surendra et al, 2016) or cosmetics (Rabani et al, 2019).…”

Opportunities for circular bionutrient economy in Kenya: Sanitation and waste stream characterization

The majority of people in low-and middle-income countries, such as Kenya, lack effective sanitation and waste management systems. Circular bionutrient economy (CBE) is emerging as a framework to safely reuse organic wastes in agriculture. This study aimed to characterize waste and sanitation systems in Kisumu City, Kenya, with a view to exploring opportunities for CBE in the Lake Victoria basin. Sanitation was characterized through a case study approach in a populous informal settlement, and waste was quantified in two markets in the city. The main toilet facility was pit latrine, although there were also some urine-diverting dry toilets (UDDTs). One toilet served about 36 people. Over a 1-mo period, the UDDTs yielded approximately 64,400 L of urine, whereas about 67,500 L of fecal sludge was emptied from the pit latrines, out of which only about 33,000 L (48.9%) was properly disposed of. About 3 t of waste was generated daily from the markets, 95% of which was organic, and was disposed of at an open dumpsite. Organic waste, including human excreta, contains large amounts of organic matter and plant nutrients, and can be processed for agricultural nutrient cycles. Additionally, black soldierly larvae can effectively convert organic waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer and high protein biomass for animal feeds. These results suggest an opportunity for a CBE system in the region for sustainable organic waste management and urban sanitation, and with opportunity to improve livelihoods and equity.
