Why choose black water fly?
The behavioral habits and functional localization of houseflies and goldenflies are close to those of black water flies. However, we recommend replacing houseflies or other flies with black water flies to achieve the goals of food waste and livestock manure disposal and the production of high-quality insect protein.
First, the black water fly is larger. The mature larvae of the black water fly are about ten times heavier than the housefly maggots, and the individuals are very impressive, which is convenient for insect material separation and further processing.
Secondly, the black water fly larvae have a long history and have a significant pre-pupal period, which can achieve a long period of live storage, depending on environmental conditions, for a period of one week to several months. The general fly larvae lack obvious pre-pupal stage, develop faster, and are difficult to store in vivo.
Third, adult black water fly insects do not feed, only need to replenish water, the life cycle is only a few days, you can complete mating and laying eggs, each female lays nearly 1000 eggs. Adults of houseflies and golden flies continue to feed, and their life expectancy can reach more than one month, and they need to constantly replenish food when breeding.
Fourth, adult black water fly insects do not disturb the people, and do not easily enter human rooms and kitchens. Houseflies and golden flies are typical public nuisances. Houseflies are not only annoying, they can even spread disease.
Fifth, the black water fly can choose a wide range of food types, from livestock manure, animal and plant residues, kitchen waste, to food industry waste, can be easily disposed of. Houseflies have similar feeding habits to black waterflies, but golden flies prefer to eat animal carcasses and require high-protein feed to be farmed. However, there are also some deficiencies in black water fly farming, such as adult insect farming requires large space, high temperature, and strong light. These factors are also important factors that have long restricted the application of black water fly, and the difficulties of these links can be solved through technology. We therefore recommend replacing housefly culture with black water fly in production.
