Abstract:A twin-screw hot extrusion processing study was performed using defatted black soldier fly larvae (DBSFL) meal as a complete substitute for Danish fishmeal (DFM) in the production of aqua-feed. The defatting process of full-fat black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) reduced its crude fat content by 60%. This was mixed together with other ingredients (soybean meal, cassava flour, vitamin and mineral mix, vitamin C, and anti-mold) to formulate a fish diet containing 40% crude protein. The moisture content of the formul… Show more
