Dried BSF larvae contain up to 50% protein, 35% fat (with an amino acid composition similar to fishmeal)6% Calcium, 1.2% Phosphorus, 1% Magnesium, 0.3% sodium … Therefore, BSF larvae are recognized and used as high-quality Protein & Fat sources for poultry, pigs, chickens, fish, shrimp, prawns… alternative commercial fish meal.
