Abstract:
Objective To gain experimental data about breeding Musca domestica larvae by pig manure and to evaluate the effects and cost-benefit of feeding hens with larvae instead of fish powder. Methods The concentration of fatty acids and trace elements in the larvae bred with man-made fodder or pig manure were measured. The quality of eggs produced by hens fed with the larva powder or fresh larvae was investigated. Results The contents of trace elements (Ca,Fe,Cu,Zn,Se) of the larvae bred with pig manure were higher than those with man-made fodder(P0.05). Conclusion Breeding Musca domestica larvae with pig manure could produce good larva protein and reduce the expenses. The quality of the egg produced by the hens fed with larvae is as good as the quality of common eggs.
