The sector of livestock and aquaculture are growing rapidly in
order to meet the incremental demand of essential protein for
the world’s population. However, the supply of plant-based
animal feed was limited by resources such as land and water.
The opportunity for insect as the substitute to animal feed is
tremendous; nonetheless, little attention was taken in Malaysia.
In this study, low value bio-waste, paddy husks, which were in
pellet form were prior ground and dried, then fed to larva of
common house fly, Musca domestica L (Diptera: Muscidae).House fly pupae were collected, dried and ground into powder
for analysis. Weight-conversion and nutrition value were studied
by applying standard AOAC and FAO methods. The paddy husk
to pupa weight conversion was 4.10%, in other words, 41g
housefly pupae powder could obtained from 1kg of paddy husk.
For the nutritional analysis, house fly pupae powder consists of
68.90% crude protein, which was significantly higher that the
paddy husk (15.65% crude protein, <0.001). This study
indicating a significant conversion of a low value material to
highly protein contained animal feed and this transformation
was crucial in providing an alternative solution for animal feed. |
