Abstract

Poultry provides both direct and indirect employment opportunities to individuals. Every farm owner desires a reduced investment with more earnings. Over 50 % of the overall cost of chicken rearing is allocated to feed stuff. Among all feed ingredients, protein sources are the most expensive, yet protein is essential for production and growth. This exorbitant price cannot be sustained by the small-scale farmers. Consequently, contemporary scientists are attempting to substitute the protein supply with black soldier fly in their formulations. This review study examines the advantageous effect of utilizing Black Soldier Fly powder, larvae or oil, as demonstrated in scientific studies. Our data indicates that a significant number of individuals in this era have adopted Black Soldier Flies as a protein source, substituting it for traditional ration formulations to satisfy protein requirements. The larvae, powder, and oil of the black soldier flies directly influence poultry production and growth performance. In case of broiler chickens, these substitutions enhance their feed conversion ratio, carcass characteristics and meat quality. All scientists have demonstrated that the development of black soldier flies may utilize chicken dung and sheep-goat feces, hence facilitating waste management. The method of rearing and investment for Black Soldier Fly are significantly lower than the other sources of protein. We may aspire to a society where individuals are trusted and engage in the substitution of protein sources.
