@@frankkunkundi786 hi, the bsf eggs are hatched first in a separate container until they are about 1 week old before putting the young larvae into the trays beneath the cage to catch the chicken manure as their food until they are matured enough and ready to harvest in about 2 -3 weeks.
while its good to know BUT there's still COST especially fish meal which is getting EXPENSIVE these days. that's why I stick to BSFL because not only its comparable to fishmeal best of all is that its FREE!
its probably due to extreme temperature and humidity. make sure the substrate temp and humidity is ideal and they must be free from predators like ants, rodents and birds.

e.coli and salmonella cannot thrive in the digestive tract of a black soldier fly larva due to the beneficial bacteria that's present in their gut so it's very safe to feed the bsf larva to animals. but if you really want to be 100% sure that its free from harmful bacteria, you can blanch the larvae in hot water (100 degrees Celsius) for a couple of minutes to make sure that all harmful bacteria are totally killed before feeding them to your chickens. here is an article for your further reading farmingblacksoldierfly.com/boost-your-chickens-gut-health-with-black-soldier-fly-oil/
stop misleading feeding worms produced from its own feces is not safe for chickens, yes it is true that the larvae kills the pathogens but not 100% so don't feed chickens, instead you can feed fish and pigs, also the nutrient level of larvae developed in this method is very low
since you can comment on this video so obviously you have a decent internet connection. so why don't you check online if indeed feeding bsf larvae to chickens is not safe and if nutrient level of bsf larvae is very low using the method seen in the video. check google scholars for a more detailed studies conducted by experts and you will see that you are mistaken. your lack of knowledge in the subject is painfully obvious, and every word you say only highlights just how little you truly understand. It's almost embarrassing to read your comments as you attempt to say with any authority on the matter. you are misleading the people by spreading false information. i pity you.
I most appreciatte your video, I worked keeping Bees for 3 years, and have understood the importance of larvae breeding, I know that BSF as MEALWORMS is an incredible source of protein ( 40- 60 % ) for birds, fish, reptiles & cattle, Even though I consider MEALWORMS much easier to raise , anyway both are excelent, THANK YOU for explaining how this larvae is free of patogens. Most homestead people don't yet appreciatte the true value of BSF & MEALWORMS in raising animals, there's plenty of info in RU-vid about it. BEST REGARDS .
you should educate yourself first before you make such comments. check my other video explaining why bsf larvae reared from chicken manure is safe as feed for animals not just chickens.
@@radicalfarming, in that case, you should educate first and stop spreading wrong information, what I going to say is well-researched, feeding bsf from chicken manure is never safe for chicken, you can use it for other purposes like feeding fish and pigs, but never chicken also bsf developed from this method contains less nutrients, compared to that produced from food waste,so get your things right
You clearly need to do more research before spreading misinformation. BSF larvae have been extensively studied, and when reared properly, including on manure, they can be perfectly safe and nutritious for poultry. The idea that they are unsafe or nutritionally inferior is outdated and shows a lack of understanding. I suggest you catch up on the actual science before making baseless claims. I really pity your low IQ on the subject considering the fact that information these days is just in the palm of your hands.
@@mirzafaisalbaig the tray is directly beneath the cage so that when the chicken poops, the tray can catch the fresh manures and so the larvae can eat the manure directly. the contents of the tray are just fresh chicken manure and bsf larvae. nothing else.
Great idea BUT, this raises concerns about the potential reintroduction of bacteria, viruses, and parasites that could be present in the chicken manure and subsequently ingested by the larvae, which might then reintroduce these pathogens to the chickens. Shouldn’t the larvae be heat treated to kill off microbes?
no. not at all because the chickens are not free ranged so they dont have contact with pathogenic bacteria. also, bsf larvae are highly efficient decomposers, and one of their key traits is their ability to reduce pathogens in the waste they consume, including chicken manure.
the idea is to decompose the chicken manure as soon as they start to build up so that no ammonia wil build up leading to bad odors which attracts house flies. thats why the bsf larvae is directly under the chicken. they are integrated for that purpose.
no. not sawdust. the sawdust like you saw is called "frass". its the result after all the chicken manure was eaten by the bsf larvae. its the larvae manure called "frass" which looks like sawdust.

they are only there for 28 days max. once they reached 1.5 kilos in 3-4 weeks, theyre market age already and will be replaced with dayold chicks again and the cycle keeps repeating. they are not pets. so they dont need ample space. they are meant for food and its already proven. they will reach the desired weight for market purpos.
