The oil from BSF larvae (Oil Extracted from BSF larvae) is mixed directly into feed for livestock, poultry, seafood, and pets…. about 10-30% depending on the animals. BSF larvae oil is proven to be rich in protein, and fat… good for animals.
Black Soldier Fly Larva Oil
Oil Extracted from black soldier fly larvae (also known as black soldier fly larvae pressed oil, fly juice, fat from BSF flies larvae , oil extracted from black soldier flies) is an oil pressed from black soldier fly larvae. The oil can be obtained by the high-pressure compression method. The larvae are put into the screw press while still hot to press the oil. Black soldier flies larval oil is a high-quality nutrient content oil, most notably high in lauric acid and oleic acid, easily digested into energy, and ideal as pet food.
