Black Soldier Flies (Hermetia illucens) are a small, black fly that is often mistaken for a wasp. They are common in Australian gardens and their larvae are beneficial for compost piles. By processing food waste, BSFL reduce landfill and the greenhouse gases it produces. Both Forbes magazine and The Washington Post see BSFL as a potential solution to the problems of industrial food waste and the need for high-quality, environmentally-friendly proein sources for animal feed.Typical Analysis
Use Black Soldier Fly Larvae as a treat for chickens or a training reward. You can also encourage natural foraging behaviour by scattering a handful of BSFL on the ground. BSFL can also be used in chicken toys. Try cutting small holes in a plastic bottle and filling it with a handful of BSFL. Your chickens will go nuts trying to get the BSFL out! Just make sure the holes are big enough for the BSFL to fall out as your chickens roll the bottle around! Black Soldier Fly Larvae should not be used as the main source of food for chickens. BSFL should be considered a treat or supplement in addition to a complete feed.Typical Analysis
