“…Nevertheless, BSF larvae can be enriched in PUFA n3 through the substrate . Authors reported that C12:0 is a good inhibitor of bacterial strains and could be of great interest in the reduction of the use of antibiotics in animal feeding . In this context, BSF larvae reared on organic wastes showed very interesting results, with up to 574 g kg −1 TFA of lauric acid.…”

“…Insects can also be added to common animal feeds, and recent experiments showed that feeds formulated with insects are viable alternatives for broilers (Rumpold and Schlüter, ; Schiavone et al., ). Aquaculture (the farming of aquatic animals) is a fast‐growing industry that has to rely on feeds today primarily formulated with fishmeal and fish oil.…”

Insects and insect‐based food products have entered in the European market, carrying along issues of safety and the need of establishing a new legal framework. The consumption of massively reared insects can pose chemical and microbiological risks, and insect proteins are likely to represent a hazard for a subpopulation of allergic individuals. All insect‐based products are considered ‘Novel Food’ and fall under EU regulation 2015/2283, according to which a specific application to the European Commission, followed by EFSA scientific evaluation, is needed before the product is put on the market. The recent EU Regulation 2017/893, entered into force on 1 July 2017, allowed a shortlist of seven insect species to be included in the formulation of feeds for aquaculture. Previously, the addition of any insect to any feed for farmed animals was not allowed, due to the risk of prion‐derived diseases. The introduction of this new Regulation raises the issue to switch from a classical detection method based on microscopy to a more sophisticated and species‐specific method. The overall aims of this EU‐FORA project were (i) to set up a new next generation sequencing (NGS)‐based molecular method for the identification of insect DNA in feeds for aquaculture; and (ii) to carry out a conceptual work on a probabilistic quantitative risk assessment focused on the allergenicity of yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) employed in foods.

“…Furthermore, larvae feeding on diets rich in Omega‐3 fatty acids, such as fish offal, have high content of this important group of nutrients in their tissues (St‐Hilaire, Cranfill, et al., ). Incorporating materials derived from the black soldier fly larvae into feed formulations for chickens (Hale, ; Moula et al., ; Schiavone et al., ), pigs (Newton, Booram, Barker, & Hale, ), catfish, tilapia (Bondari & Sheppard, , ) and rainbow trout (St‐Hilaire, Sheppard, et al., ; Sealey et al, ), produced results that were at least comparable to conventional feeds.…”

Black soldier fly is a common and widely distributed saprophagous species that has an excellent potential for being used for biological conversion of organic wastes on an industrial scale. The main goal of the reported study was expanding the list of wastes suitable for utilization by this species. We compared larval growth on cull potatoes, horse manure and cafeteria food waste in 100‐L bins in a greenhouse. We also conducted laboratory experiments to investigate whether black soldier fly larvae are affected by the presence of moxidectin, a common endectocide used to treat an array of domestic animals and readily excreted in faeces, in their food substrates. Feeding on potatoes resulted in slower growth, and the final size of potato‐fed larvae was smaller compared to the larvae fed on cafeteria waste. Nevertheless, potatoes supported substantial biomass accumulation, and could be a valuable option for rearing fly larvae for commercial feed production. Larvae feeding on horse manure gained very little weight and eventually failed to pupate. Moxidectin had a strong negative effect on larval survivorship; however, ca. 30% of larvae reared in the substrate containing a realistic field concentration of moxidectin still survived to adulthood. Our findings confirm that using black soldier fly larvae is a promising technology for recycling organic wastes, including those of plant origin.
