Tridge summary

A farmer in Vietnam, Mr. Le Phuoc Sang, has successfully bred black soldier flies for animal feed, reducing feed costs and providing a more sustainable source of protein. The technique involves rearing the flies and using their larvae as food for chickens, ducks, and fish. The article highlights the potential of black soldier fly farming to replace industrial feed and notes that the practice is legal and environmentally friendly. It also mentions the financial benefits of the industry, with black soldier fly eggs and larvae fetching high prices. The Department of Livestock Production plans to develop a guide for farming these flies and invest in modern technology to extract protein and oil for livestock feed.

Since 2019, Mr. Le Phuoc Sang in My Tho town, Cao Lanh city (Dong Thap) has experimented with a "black soldier fly breeding model" combined with farm farming, with a scale of about 70m2. Mr. Sang said that it is extremely difficult to breed black soldier flies because this organism is difficult to adapt to hot weather, so at the beginning of the experiment, the flies died a lot. To overcome the hot situation, he uses a mist fan to cool the larvae to develop well. In addition, he traveled to many places to find and select sources of quality seed to ensure culture. After a year of experimentation, black soldier rearing and then went into a stable "revolving", so Mr. Sang expanded the area to raise black soldier flies to about 5,000m2. Mr. Sang divided the farm into 5 areas serving the production process: importing raw materials for processing, rearing larvae, handling manure, storing raw materials after processing, and breeding area. Currently, he is using black soldier fly larvae ...
