IN THE END,
DOES SIZE MATTER?
Sometimes the most efficacious solutions come in small sizes, which is precisely how this tiny fly can make an important contribution to feeding the world's growing population.
For livestock such as swine, chickens or fish, which are consumed by most of the 7.9 billion people, animal feed made from the larvae of the black soldier fly is ideal as a high-quality protein feed.
In just three weeks, the larvae of the black soldier fly grow to 15,000 times their original size and are also a remarkable source of protein.
The fly itself lives only a few days, it has neither mouth nor digestive organs and its only task is to reproduce. It lays about 500 eggs a day, which develop into a commercially viable product as quickly as 21 days.

A GREAT MATE FOR ORGANIC WASTE MANAGEMENT
Research shows that 24 kg of pig manure fed to about 45,000 black soldier fly larvae reduces waste material by 50% within just 14 days.
Recovering resources from organic waste streams such as sewage and food waste is crucial as they contain nutrients, energy, water and other materials.
This can help reduce pressure on resources and improve water, energy and food security in and around cities, as well as reduce the risk of disease and environmental degradation due to poor sanitation and waste management.
The larvae's digestive system destroys all harmful bacteria in their food. In addition, the waste is processed so quickly and efficiently that no odour is produced.

BUZZING TOWARDS
A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Numerous aspects of soy production, such as the high use of agrochemical fertilisers and the unsustainable use of water, to name a few, lead to climate disruption. Fishmeal, which is also commonly used as animal feed due to its high protein content, would likely lead to an increase in overfishing and illegal fishing if demand for fishmeal increases, minimising fish stocks and damaging marine resources and the ecosystem.
In the coming years, demand for animal food protein will increase rapidly as the world's population grows. The increased food production required to meet the rising demand will lead to the depletion of resources such as land, water, forests, etc., placing a huge burden on the environment as a whole.
In comparison, the larva of the black soldier fly requires very little space, no rainforest needs to be cleared for its rearing, no farmland needs to be fertilised or treated with pesticides, no valuable water resources are exhausted or wasted, or fish stocks decimated for feed meal. Instead, the larvae feed on bio-waste, which is available in abundance anyway.
Therefore, breeding the black soldier fly is a sustainable and effective response to pressing concerns about the future of our planet.

& ITS COST FRIENDLY
Feed currently accounts for up to 70% of the cost of animal protein production. The ever-increasing prices for soy production, the impact and unsustainable farming methods, as well as the environmentally harmful fishmeal, make soy rather unprofitable as feed for animal protein production.
By using black soldier fly larvae, the quality and quantity of the end product will inevitably be higher compared to conventional methods, in a completely organic way, as the larvae consist of high quality ±35% protein and ±30% crude fat (on a dry matter basis), all at a very attractive price, making your yields higher, faster and more efficient.
This should encourage people to look for other sustainable options like black soldier fly larvae.
QUALITY
COST
At Adrisha Biologique, we are currently developing high quality, sustainable animal feed in a socially responsible way by recycling regionally available by-products from the human and animal food industries to produce high quality ingredients while minimising the environmental and financial impact of animal protein production using the legendary larvae of the black soldier fly.
Our current offering includes 100% black soldier fly larvae, in dehydrated form....
Black Soldier Fly
" Hermetia illucens, or the Black Soldier Fly, is a slender fly that is often mistaken for a wasp.
The larvae of the black soldier fly offers us a valuable protein alternative and is revolutionary in the way it can help mitigate some of the global food security challenges we face.
It has a high content of valuable protein, can be used in the food industry and in the production of animal protein, is a viable alternative to soy and fish meal, can be grown economically, is environmentally friendly, has a low carbon footprint and is sustainable.
This sustainable protein marvel is resource-efficient, highly reproductive and feeds on all organic waste.
And at Adrisha Biologique, we are absolutely in awe of this legendary fly."
