Sacha Inchi is a plant which is best known for its medicinal properties and a food source. However the husk and the shell usually ended up as waste. As a result, this research aims to valorize the Sacha Inchi Waste as feed to grow Black Soldier Fly Larvae. In this experiment, 100 Black Soldier Fly Larvae were hatched in a container and after 5 days, feed made of press cake waste of Sacha In…
Apis mellifera or honey bee is the most crucial pollinator globally, providing 50% of global crop pollination.

Paenibacillus larvae, a gram positive bacteria is the causative agent of AFB, it can produce spores that are able to survive in extreme heat and c…
Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) (BSFL) farming is utilized for converting organic waste into high quality biomass. Substrate type of organic waste used by BSFL is known to influence the productivity, survival, growth, and the nutrition value in the BSFL. Feed contains high protein, tofu dreg, can accelerate the BSFL development and produce larger growth. Although, balanced intake o…
If left untreated, biowaste is one of the contributors to environmental problems and greenhouse gas production. Treatment options such as bioconversion using insects may have beneficial and affordable outcomes for managing biowaste. Decomposing insect, such as the black soldier fly (BSF), whose larvae are capable of converting food waste into high-value biomass. Which then could be an a…
