Bröduppfödda larver blir väldigt feta
Hur påverkas fett-halten och sammansättningen hos larven av den Amerikanska vapenflugan av vad den äter? I vår senaste artikel publicerad i tidskriften Waste Management påvisar Nils Ewald och medförfattare nya resultat kring denna fråga. Studien baseras på elva försök där larver av den Amerikanska vapenflugan (Hermetia illucens) matats med olika substrat baserade på musslor, fisk,… Continue reading Bröduppfödda larver blir väldigt feta
Larvae fed bread get really fat
How does the fat content and composition in the larvae of the black solider fly (Hermetia illucens) change with the diet provided to them? In our latest article published in Waste Management, Nils Ewald and co-authors brings new knowledge on this topic. The study is based on eleven feeding trials were the larvae were fed… Continue reading Larvae fed bread get really fat
New publication on pre-treatment of banana peels for BSFL composting
Alice Isibika and co-authors have published a new study in the journal Waste Management, on the application of pre-treatments prior BSFL treatment of banana peels as a fibrous and nutrient imbalanced substrate to enhance bioconversion ratio. The applied pre-treatments were non-protein nitrogen for balancing the carbon/nitrogen , heat and microbes(fungi and bacteria) pre-treatments for breaking… Continue reading New publication on pre-treatment of banana peels for BSFL composting
