When it comes to the black soldiers flies, we have to say that they have made brilliant achievements in the field of environmental protection. The black soldiers flies mainly feed on kitchen waste and livestock manure. You should have heard about the black soldiers flies' treatment of kitchen waste for a long time. Today, we will mainly talk about their role in the field of environmental protection, hoping to help you.

The black soldiers fly is a member of the genus Gadfly of the family Gadanidae, and is one of the designated resource insects of FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). The adult is similar to the bee in shape, non-toxic and harmless, and does not like to be close to people. It is a large diptera with a body length of 13-22mm. It is a saprophytic insect of the family Gadanidae, which can feed on animal excrement and household garbage and produce high-value animal protein feed. Larvae feed on animal excrement and rotting organic matter in nature, such as rotted meat, rotting fruits, vegetables and plant wastes, which can be used for the harmless treatment of food waste and livestock and poultry excrement.

The Great Role of Gadfly in Environmental Protection

With the development of the breeding industry in China, the pollution of livestock and poultry manure has become a serious environmental problem. As an important resource insect, the black soldiers fly is very effective in transforming livestock and poultry manure, and can effectively remove the odor in the feces. Feeding by the larvae of the black soldiers fly can not only effectively solve the problem of livestock manure accumulation, greatly reduce the environmental pollution caused by manure, but also increase the income of farmers, bringing good economic and social benefits. In addition, the fecal residue fed by the larvae of the black soldiers fly contains a large amount of humic acid, which is a high-quality solid organic fertilizer, and a good material for raising earthworms and red worms.
