Evaluating Sawdust as a Bulking Agent to Enhance Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) Performance and Survival in Potato Peels

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 5, Page 682-689, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The rearing of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) offers a sustainable approach for producing high‐protein larvae for animal feed, contributing to waste reduction and nutrient recovery. While BSFL‐rearing is well studied, the role of non‐nutritive bulking agents such as sawdust remains unclear. Sawdust was added on top of the base substrate at 0%
