Abstract

An evaluation of black soldier fly larvae parameters and its utilization as meal in the palatability test for juvenile loach were determined the species’ acceptability to the new feed ingredient valorized from two types of waste substrates [vegetable waste (VW) and restaurant waste (RW)]. A higher survival rate was observed in RW (59.20 ± 4.92 %) than that in VW (17.05 ± 4.54 %). In terms of larval development, the RW had significantly a higher larval live weight (89.70 ± 28.00 mg), longer body length (19.79 ± 2.02 mm), and higher body thickness (4.88±0.65 mm) than those in VW. Conversely, the RW showed significantly higher protein conversion ratio (7.68 ± 0.06 %) compared to the VW (1.97 ± 0.93 %). In terms of moisture content, VW (87.59 ± 0.87 %) was significantly higher than RW (72.76 ± 2.02 %). In contrast, RW showed a significantly higher crude fat content (10.01 ± 0.30 %) compared to that of VW (4.83 ± 0.26 %). Moreover, palatability test revealed no significant difference between the test diets. Thus, the study suggested a prolonged feeding trial to determine the long-term adaptability of the said species to the new feed ingredient.
