Research progress of black soldier fly as animal feed protein raw material
The larvae of the black soldier fly(Hermetia illucens)are rich in fat,protein,and minerals,characterized by high nutritional value,rapid growth,and ease of breeding.As a new type of high-quality feed protein source,the black soldier fly has the potential to replace soybean meal and fish meal protein materials in animal feed.Appropriate replacement of protein materials can improve the growth performance,antioxidant and disease resistance of animals,and enhance the quality of eggs and meat.In this paper,the biological characteristics,main nutritional components and the application of black soldier fly in aquaculture,poultry and pig production instead of conventional protein feed materials in recent years were reviewed,in order to provide reference for the application of black Tabanus in animal production.
