Las larvas BSF alimentadas con pan engordan
¿Cómo cambia el contenido y composición de grasa en las larvas de la mosca del soldado negro (Hermetia illucens) con la dieta que se les proporciona? En nuestro último artículo publicado en Waste Management, Nils Ewald y coautores aportan nuevos conocimientos sobre este tema. El estudio se basa en once ensayos en los que las… Continue reading Las larvas BSF alimentadas con pan engordan
Nueva publicación en pretratamiento de cáscaras de banana para compostaje BSF
Alice Isibika y coautores han publicado un nuevo estudio en la revista Waste Management, sobre distintos pretratamientos para mejorar la bioconversión del compostaje con moscas soldado negro (BSF) de cáscaras de plátano (un sustrato fibroso cuyo ratio de nutrientes no es óptimo para tal compostaje). Los pretratamientos aplicados fueron: nitrógeno no proteico (para optimizar el… Continue reading Nueva publicación en pretratamiento de cáscaras de banana para compostaje BSF

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
