The hidden drivers: Unraveling the impact of density, moisture, and scale on Hermetia illucens rearing

This study investigates how to optimally rear black soldier fly larvae using leftover mushroom growing material as feed. Researchers tested different moisture levels, densities of larvae, and production scales to find the best conditions for growing high-quality larvae efficiently. The findings show that using 75% moisture with about 250 larvae per container produces the best results, though larger-scale production requires different adjustments than small laboratory experiments.
