“…First oviposition occurred after 2.46 d at 35°C, while at 30 and 25°C it occurred after 3.1 and 4.3 d, respectively. This agreed well with data from ( Bertinetti et al, 2019 ; Binsin et al, 2023 ).…”

Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae (Hermetia illucens) serve as a valuable protein source for animal feed. Limiting factors in the industrial rearing of BSF are the reproduction process and egg output. Studies indicate the potential to shorten preoviposition time and increase egg output through better utilization of environmental variables, such as temperature and light, in industrial settings. Excessive stimulation, however, can lead to stress, elevated production costs, and reduced egg numbers, emphasizing the need for a delicate balance. This study addresses these challenges by investigating controlled manipulation of environmental variables to stimulate mating and enhance egg production, thereby developing a comprehensive model encompassing the adult fly life cycle, mating, and egg production. Model parameters were fitted using literature data, and the model’s plausibility was tested through simulations. Using the model and optimal control methods, the calculated dynamic trajectories for environmental variables when compared to the standard approach in a constant environment demonstrated higher output and shorter production cycles at reasonable energy costs. Applications for this model-based optimization are demonstrated for various scenarios, highlighting the practical utility and versatility of the developed model. This study contributes valuable insights for improving rearing practices of BSF through environmental stimulation, offering potential advancements in egg production efficiency and overall sustainability.

“…Hermetia illucens in its life cycle does not perch on food that is directly consumed by humans. In adulthood, the main food is flower extract, while at a young age the food comes from the food reserves in the body (Binsin et al, 2023). Breeding is done sexually, where the female contains the eggs, then the eggs are placed on a clean surface, but close to a suitable food source for the larvae (Chemello et al, 2022).…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the reproduction traits of eggiest of black soldier flies (Hermetia Illucens) in different enriched media and its potential as a poultry feed. A total of 1000 one-day-old eggiest were weighed (pool of 200 eggiest per single weight), randomly divided into groups of five and allocated in 5 bio ponds (12 cm x 15 cm x 10 cm) (5 replicated per dietary treatments). The treatments enriched media was formulated as follows: T0: 100% dried poultry waste; T1: mixed up-fermented dried poultry waste 75% and commercially laying hens feed (starter); T2: mixed up-fermented dried poultry waste 50% and 50% commercially laying hens feed (starter); T3: mixed up-fermented dried poultry waste 25% and 75% commercially laying hens feed (starter); T4: 100% and commercially laying hens feed (starter). A statistical analysis was conducted using analysis of variance using Proc Mixed with general linear model (GLM) using SAS studio for academics Online Edition (https://odamid-apse1. oda.sas.com/SASStudio/). Comparing two results, it can be seen that the different enriched media gave gradually significant differences (p < 0.05) in the egg weight, number of eggs of BSF success to hatch, hatchability, length, width, and number of change becoming flies at period shown. Conclusively it has been shown that the different enriched media gave positive effect until 75% replacement. Those treatment controls are not recommended.
