Administration of live soldier fly larvae, degreased meal and soldier fly fat in the weaning, leaning and fattening stages of pigs.

Administration of live soldier fly larvae, degreased meal and soldier fly fat in the weaning, leaning and fattening stages of pigs.

Evaluate use of live larvae as enrichment at the weaning stage. Evaluate use of degrassed soldier fly meal in the feeding of leaning and fattening pigs
Evaluation of the use of frass as vine fertilizer for wine production

Evaluation of the use of frass as vine fertilizer for wine production

Goals: Evaluation of frass (fly larvae rearing residue) as a fertilizer. Evaluation of chitosan as an elicitor for grapevine plants.
Immune responses of the black soldier fly <i>Hermetia illucens</i> (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) bred on catering waste

Immune responses of the black soldier fly Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) bred on catering waste

The black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), has great potential for bio-conversion and the ability to grow on different substrates.
Effect of rearing diet on gene expression of antimicrobial peptides in <i>Hermetia illucens</i> (Diptera: Stratiomyidae)

Effect of rearing diet on gene expression of antimicrobial peptides in Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae)

Safeguarding the health status of insects in mass breeding makes it possible to obtain high-quality products and avoid serious economic losses due to entomopathogens.
Trial of feeding hens with 15% and 30% inclusions of live soldier fly larvae

Trial of feeding hens with 15% and 30% inclusions of live soldier fly larvae

Integration of live soldier fly larvae into the diet of laying hens, aimed at evaluating its impact on rearing efficiency and overall health
Mediterranean brown trout feeding trial <i>(Salmo ghigii)</i> with dried larvae and enriched with Genufeed enrichment.

Mediterranean brown trout feeding trial (Salmo ghigii) with dried larvae and enriched with Genufeed enrichment.

Two diets were used for the experiment. One control diet was a commercial fish feed (EcoFish4, Veronesi, Italy) usually used as a feed for brown trout.
WELFARE – Evaluation of Brambel’s laws applied to soldier fly larvae

WELFARE – Evaluation of Brambel’s laws applied to soldier fly larvae

Investigation of the main degrees of freedom following three research trials: food type, hunger, density.
Assessment of compositional variability of larvae reared in Bioconverters

Assessment of compositional variability of larvae reared in Bioconverters

One of the main issues related to the chemical composition of larvae is the variation in their organoleptic profile due to the variability of plant by-products throughout the year.
The (im)possible standardization of experiments on insects as feed: a case study of the BSF

The (im)possible standardization of experiments on insects as feed: a case study of the BSF

Repeatability and reproducibility of experiments is one of the foundations of science. This implies that all necessary information is described and experimental procedures are standardized.
