High nutrient content | High-quality food larvae for fish, poultry & reptiles | Turn leftovers from the kitchen into high-quality insect protein
The larvae of the black soldier fly (BSF) process organic waste in a very short time. The adult larvae remain as high-quality feed insects and nutrient-rich residual substrate for fertilizing your vegetable plants.
With this BSFL breeding starter colony you can easily start breeding:
- Place the larvae in your OFERA BSFL farm and feed them with your organic waste until they reach the adult stage.
- Let the larvae pupate and then place them in an insect cage . Under optimal conditions ( >20°C ), with plenty of light and sufficient humidity (>70%), the flies will hatch and begin to mate.
- Each female then lays between 300-600 new eggs, from which fresh larvae hatch.
This breeding starter colony contains about 1500-2000 larvae (approx. 300g). If you want to build a large fly colony right away, you can also start with several starter colonies.
