after visiting BSFly center at UiTM Palam, i have learned a new thing which is there are a species that can give a very good benefits towards the environment. for example, BSFly can help by transforming organic waste into high quality nutrients for pet food, fish feeds and many more. last but not least, this waste to wealth innovation can really benefit the ecosystem.
The research team's innovative idea demonstrates their exceptional creativity and forward-thinking approach. It has the potential to revolutionised the industry and reshape the way we approach the problem at hand.
The BSFly one stop centre is for the natural composting of food waste by the black soilder fly or known as BSF. What is interesting, BSF contains 40% protein and 32% fat that can be used as a protein source for organisms. For example, dead larvae are used as fish food, oil from cold pressed can be used as a pharmaceutical product such as mosquito repellent. Besides that, it also can be used as fish food and prawn food which helps in increase of longevity and weight. The BSF also can be potential protein for human consumption. The lifespan of the BSF is short where the entire life cycle takes a montg while adult BSF only live for 3-4days. If mating, BSF will die 3-4days. If no mating, it will die within a week. Other than that, this process can reduce the food waste from being send to landfill and also help to reduce the greenhouse gases in the landfill.
This initiative is one of efficient waste management. The ability of black soldier fly reduces the volume of waste while converting it into valuable biomass. It is also helpful in reducing environmental impact when black soldier fly larvae was utilized as a protein source in animal feed. This decreases the environmental impact associated with traditional feed production, including overfishing and deforestation.
At first when I saw this video shown in class, I was quite amazed. This innovation is really good. Using bsf as the substitude for foods for fishes, cats and the other. Besides, who knows bsf also can be use for compost. Like the whole of its life cycle has its own used. This innovation really helps to reduce the usage of natural resources and reusing the waste to be generate as energy. Maybe after this, other than bsf, the other types of species can be use as the same way as bsf
I am truly amazed by the incredible work being done at the Black Soldier Fly facility in FSK by I-MeRGe.Their innovative use of Black Soldier Fly as an urban health solution for food waste is simply inspiring. Not only are they effectively addressing the pressing issue of food waste, but they're also promoting a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to waste management. I applaud FSK by I-MeRGe for their commitment to creating a healthier and more sustainable future for our communities. Let's support their efforts and spread the word about this remarkable urban health solution. Congratulation.
Things like this are truly amazing to me and must continue for the sustainability of our future generations. Who would have thought that with the help of creatures like this black soldier fly insect, it can provide many benefits to the environment from helping to dispose of food naturally and then it can also be used as food for food and farm animals such as fish and chicken.
Based on the observation and learning at BSFly stop center, there are a lot of benefits that can gain through this project. The most amazing part is the way of innovation from waste to wealth and create something useful for ecosystem. Instead of disposed the waste at the landfill, the biodegradable waste can be naturally decomposed by BSF, thus, the amount of waste disposed at the landfill will be reduced. Apart from that, BSF larvae can be used as alternative foods for animals such as chicken, bird and other exotic animals as the larvae itself contains high protein. Moreover, there are also BSF larvae-based product such as cat food and fishes foods that has been commercialized. Besides, BSF larvae already approved as alternative protein for human in some countries as it has high protein. After the waste are decomposed, it can be used as fertilizer. Furthermore, the oil product from BSF larvae which had been compressed is used for pharmaceutical products and mosquito repellent.
From what i learn from the video, composting is a more eco-friendly way to reduce food waste from ending up in the landfill. By using black soldier fly, it is safer, unlike the common house fly, as it doesn't spread disease. The compost can be use as soil fertilizer. Other than that, mature larva is suitable as pet food alternatives, as it contain more than 40% protein and more than 30% fat. Bsf can be found naturally in the forest, thus the nursery was made to imitate their habitat- by having proper ventilation, lighting and temperature, as they can be sensitive.
After visiting the Black Soldier Fly Centre, i found that there is unique flies species that can give benefit to the environment. This Black Soldier Fly (bsf) is being used as the treatment of food waste. This bsf helps in composting process by converting organic waste into high-quality nutrients for pet foods, fish and poultry feeds, as well as residue fertilizer for soil amendment. Besides, this innovation from waste to wealth product is useful for the ecosystem and protecting the landfill from abundant of food waste.
After visiting the Black Soldier Fly Centre, I discovered some new facts about the existence of flies that can benefit the environment. Black soldier fly (BSF) is used as a treatment of food waste. Since the amount of food waste production is increasing daily, so using this BSF method in food waste composting is one of the greatest ways for reducing the amount of food waste that is disposed of in landfills. This black soldier fly not only helps in composting process, but it also contributes to the creation of new products including fertiliser, pet food and mosquito repellent that are made from the oil extracted from dry larvae. I also discover the BSF life cycle. Adult BSF only have a 3 to 4 days life span and they only make it through mating before they die. So, UV light is essential to help the mating process of black soldier fly.
Based on the clip that I watch Black soldier flies are not pests like common house flies. They do not bite or transmit diseases to humans. In fact, their larvae play a beneficial role in various ecological processes and have gained attention for their potential applications in waste management, animal feed production, and sustainable agriculture. The larvae of black soldier flies are voracious eaters and can consume a wide range of organic matter, including food waste, animal manure, compost, and decaying plant material. This ability to efficiently convert organic waste into biomass has led to their use in insect-based waste management systems.
Based on what I had learned in the BSF centre is about the BSF life cycle. It undergoes a five stage life cycle which is egg, larval, young pupal, pupal and adult stages. BSF adult will mate and lay its egg. The lifespan of an adult is the shortest, which is 3 to 4 days only .During the mating process uv light that has the spectrum helps to boost the mating success. BSF is an alternative protein that can be used to produce animal feed such as cat. Besides that it can be an alternative protein source of aquaculture for marine shrimp and freshwater shrimp. Then, the extract oil from the larvae can be used as mosquito repellent.
Application of BSFly One Stop Center as a natural food waste management should be praised as the end-product of organic waste can be used as a sustainable protein sources for animal feed. This improvement may reduce waste, support circular economy principles and minimizes environmental impact compared to traditional decomposition methods.
Through a short session at the BSFly Centre, I learned that it was established for the natural composting of food waste using the black soldier fly or BSF. This program also aims to reduce food waste from being sent to landfill thus reducing the production of greenhouse gases. BSF can convert organic waste into plant fertilizers, animal feed, and also as an alternative source of protein for humans. This is because when dried, it contain high quality protein
It is wide opening topic to be discussed as BSF is the flies that beneficial for the environment. It is interesting topic to learn. This video can help you a lot to gain new knowledge! Don't forget to watch it until the end!
Food waste is converted into beneficial nutrients by Black Soldier Fly Facility, decreasing landfill trash and providing a sustainable supply of animal feed. Food waste conversion improves urban health by lowering pests, smells, and greenhouse gas emissions while also producing nutrient-rich compost for urban farming.
Based on tutorial sessions at the black soldier fly centre, I have learned that black soldier fly composting is an eco-friendly way of producing new nutrient-rich products. Black soldier flies (BSF) can be used as a tool to accelerate the composting process of food waste. The composting process involves the collection of organic waste, pre-composting, larvae feeding, larva harvesting and post-composting. The larvae of BSF break down the food composting into smaller particles so that it can be processed more quickly. The use of BSF for composting can be an example of industrial ecology in which in this process it creates a loop system where the food waste can be new products from the composting process. The products from the BSF are transformed into valuable products such as fertilizer, cat food, mosquito repellent and alternative food for fish that are economically and environmentally sustainable.
Black soldier fly centre has taught me the life cycle of the black soldier fly, mating conditions, and the pupa. This is one of the great way towards sustainability because black soldier fly is used as the food waste composting to reduce the number on this waste on the landfills. The centre also adapts the fly habitat by providing UV light to boost their mating rate. In addition, the black soldier fly not only does help in composting the food waste but also a great source of high protein that can be consumed by other living organisms such as pet food for example sugar glider, hamster and cats. Moreover, organic fertilizer also can be produced by the after product of the fly. In their recent study, the extracted oil from the larva can be used as mosquito repellent. These show great examples of dematerialization using from one source that can many produce beneficial things for the publics.
According to this video, it was created for the naturally occurring composting of food waste using the black soldier fly, or BSF. Black soldier flies (BSF) are a tool that can be used to improve the composting of food waste. The food waste that has been collected will be ground and composted. Apart from that, as a result of composting, it can be used for landscape purposes and the lava produced after a week can also be used as fish food in the Uitm area.
From the last session in the insectorium, we've been exposed to BSF in general. We've learnt about BSF life cycle and what stage of the BSF are beneficial towards the ecological effort. For instance, the larvae is used for composting purpose. We've been told that the pupae casing and dead adults can be used as coagulation agent for wastewater treatment. However, the veracity of that claim is still under scrutiny as it is still in early stage of study.
Based on a tutorial session at bsf center, i got to know and learn about bsf (black soldier fly). Firstly, bsf is different from other normal flies as they are not bite/sting and non-pest. Bsf life cycle is very short (the whole cycle is about 1 month only). the life span of adult bsf is around 5-8 days only. In adult stages, the fly feeds on nothing but only mates and lays eggs. The uv light is used to boost the mating success of bsf, so the production of eggs will be higher. Bsf helps to develop efficient and sustainable methods of waste management systems. Bsf larvae can be used for composting food waste, plantation waste and other types of wastes. The production of decomposition process by bsf can be used as plant fertilizer. In addition, bsf larvae are good as an alternative protein source for animals such as fish, prawn, cat and other pet food because they contain high protein. Besides, the oil that produce from larvae compression process can be used as mosquito repellent too.
this was one of effort toward Sustainability Goal Objective to support our Earth. this method offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to waste management, feed production, and protein generation. They contribute to waste reduction, resource conservation, climate change mitigation, and economic development, making them a valuable asset in various industries and sectors. tumb up!
What i’ve learned at the bsfly centre is the life cycle of the bsfly and also the habitat which in forest. In addition, the function of the bsfly which is for food waste composting or any waste that can be compost such as plantation waste. Other than that, the difference between housefly and bsfly is that the lifespan which the adult lifespan of bsfly only from 3 to 4 days. If the fly cannot mating, in 1 week the bsfly can die. Mating success can be boost by turning on the uv light that designed by the engineer. So they did not need many bsfly as there can get by only mating them. The end product can be cat food which can reduce the smell of the poo and pee of the cat. Oil also can be produced for a good pharmaceutical products by coldpress the dry larvae. Last but not least, can be an alternative source of protein for animal.
Initially BSFly is a project aims to reduce food waste in the campus from composting activities. Along the way, the faculty have collaborated with Entomal to widen the scope of BSFly project where the larva can be use in variety of way. For instance, they have produced cat foods that are high in protein based from the BSFly larva. Other than that, it's extremely a sustainable project as the frass (aka "poop") of the larva can be used entirely as fertilizer. The project itself so far seems very accomodating to the environment especially on food waste reduction. However, it would be interesting to know the effectiveness of food waste reduction in the campus based on the capacity of BSFly farmed in the lab 🤔
Tks for ur video. Very interesting 👌. Wanna ask one question. The food for bsf larva are made from kitchen waste, do u add anything that can avoid de bad smell? Tks
thanks for your feedback! as for the kitchen waste, we did not add anything, the smell can be overwhelming but it was helped with good ventilation and air circulation
