Of course the first impression of seeing maggot bsf is a lot of disgust or reluctance to touch it. But don't worry maggot BSF doesn't carry dangerous diseases like most other fly flies like green flies.
Development of Magfot BSF from hatching to 10 days of age.
Brief explanation of Maggot BSF
Biology
Maggot Black Soldier Fly (hereinafter we are short with Maggot BSF) has the Latin name Hermetia illucens Linnaeus 1758 including relatives of flies (Diptera family), its adult body resembling wasps wasp, black, 15-20mm long. We use this larvae, at the beginning of the hatch 3mm in length can reach a length of 27mm with a width of 6mm weighing 220mg at the final stage of the pupa. The color of the larvae is grayish white, while in the final stage the pupa is brown in color, where we can use maggot bsf at all stages, as a natural food. Maggot BSF consumes almost all types of organic ingredients such as decaying fruits and vegetables, coffee and tea pulp, rice mill waste, fish organs, animal carcasses, and even animal waste, so Maggot BSF is ideal for use as an organic waste processor and compost processor.
Life cycle.
After the egg stage for 4 days, the larval stage can last between 1-2 months depending on the presence of food and media conditions. In time, the larvae empty their guts and then look for a dry place to turn into a pupa. This is when we can harvest larvae automatically which facilitates our cultivation activities. Pupa will remain silent for 2 weeks to 1 month before leaving to become a mature BSF. Bsf adults will look for mates and mate in 2 days, lay eggs in dry media, then die. Bsf adults do not have a mouth so they do not eat during their lives and rely on fat reserves in their body. Because bsf adults do not eat it does not interfere with the environment and does not have the potential to spread disease, unlike flies, the cultivation of maggot bsf will not disturb our neighbors even some studies reveal that the cultivation of maggot bsf will repel fly pests, with this fact we might try maggot cultivation bsf at chicken farms to process farm waste and reduce pest flies that are very disturbing to the environment and neighbors, so that it will get a positive assessment from our neighbors.

5 Advantages of Managing Organic Waste Using Magot
Garbage, especially organic waste if managed properly will produce economic value. But unfortunately, there are still many people who are reluctant to do it. Though there is an easy way to do that. By utilizing magot or fly maggots, Black Soldier Flies for example. 1. Waste decomposition Magot or larvae or maggots produced from black fly eggs (BSF) are very active in consuming organic waste. Household waste such as vegetables, fruit and others can be quickly decomposed into fertilizer.
2. No Smell Decomposed organic waste will cause unpleasant odors. Especially if the amount of garbage is large. To prevent this we can ask for magical help. After we divide the household waste, we can give organic waste directly to greedy magots. And amazingly, the organic waste directly eaten by the magot did not have the chance to cause unpleasant odors.
3. Produce Fertilizer Magot who eats organic waste will produce dirt. Now this dirt is very good to be used as natural fertilizer. The fertilizer produced by these magots can be of high economic value.
4. Magot as an alternative animal feed In the midst of high animal feed, Magot is an alternative animal feed that is quite cheap. Magot contains high enough protein. Magot which has a pale yellow color can be used to feed fish.
5. Low Cost Compared to processing organic waste with technology, processing waste with the help of Magot is very cheap. We only provide black fly cages that come from wood and black cloth, as well as tanks to maintain magot so that they are able to process waste into organic fertilizer.

Magot as an alternative feed
Behind the form that some people disgust, magot turns out to have many benefits. In addition to being instrumental in helping to process organic waste, magot can also be used as an alternative feed for fish and poultry that can boost aquaculture after a decrease in the number of fishing in the wild. According to Melta Rini Fahmi in the book "MAGOT, Feed for High Protein Fish and Organic Waste Processing Biomesin" published by Penebar Swadaya, the use of magot as a fish feed, both for ornamental fish and consumption fish. In the form of flour, magot can increase the body's endurance, accelerate growth, accelerate gonad maturity and improve the quality of fish color. "The advantage of living magot lies in its nutrient is not reduced or damaged, fish tends to be more akatif and has better performance. While the dry magot benefits exist at the shelf life and longer service life, nutrient content is maintained, can be given to fish with various openings "Dry mouth and magot can be used as feed for koi parents and some predatory fish," Melta explained in her book.
Magot application as fish feed is seen in the analysis for three months.
Giving a small magot supplement gives a good response to fish health. This is indicated by the high survival rate. In fish given a small magot supplement, the survival rate reached 94%, while those who did not use supplements only reached 64%. The high survival of fish is strongly influenced by the ability and endurance of the fish (self defense). The results of this trial also showed a blood picture of fish given supplements having a good body defense system. Whereas further research, magot life is given as an alternative food for tilapia with pellet comparison. In a 40-day trial during the study period, observations were made on the nutrient content of fish, namely proteins, fats, fatty acids, amino acids and carbohydrates. Fish given commercial pellets average body weight after 40 days approximately 5.7g with a length of 26 approximately 0.7cm. As for the value given 100% mogot feed weighing approximately 4.7g and a length of 25 less than 0.2cm. The measurement results and weighing of the fish showed that the tilapia given magot was 100% larger and more uniform in size than the pellet-induced tilapia. Subsequent research is the use of magot-based alternative pellets to feed tilapia and goldfish. The trial was carried out in the Singkut sub-district of Sorolangun District, Jambi Province against palm kernel oil which produces palm oil cake. Magots produced in the region are collected in one feed factory that produces fish feed with a base of local raw materials with a 100 percent protein source from Magot. The formulations that are made are quite simple, namely fine, magot, vitamin mix and binder. Trials are given by comparing fish given commercial pellets with almost the same protein content. What is obtained is the production of tilapia and goldfish for both types of fish do not have a significant difference. That is, commercial pellets can be replaced with mogot-based alternative pellets that have lower prices.
A "seed" can be said to be superior if it meets the following criteria: 1. Uniform Size The purpose is the same size (uniform), therefore, when buying make sure the uniformity of size must be considered.
2. Resistant to Climate Change Changing climate greatly influences the productivity of maggot BSF hatching. Changes in erratic weather anomalies often make maggot BSF hatch or even fail to hatch. But it doesn't apply to the superior BSS Super Maggot seeds.
3. Super Maggot BSF Hatches Faster The third feature of the superior BSF super maggot criteria is to hatch faster. So that adults will soon be produced, mating and reproducing to produce eggs in large quantities. The speed of hatching is greatly influenced by feeding factors when becoming larvae.
4. Has "Weight" The fourth characteristic is to have a weight "weight" per tail between 20 to 22 grams per 100 birds. To weigh it is quite easy, using a digital scale, not an iron scale (less accurate)
5. Stay alive and healthy The fifth feature is the Super Maggot BSF is not easy to die. Even though they have to live in shipping for days. Super Maggot BSF excels alive and well despite being wrapped up for 14 days of delivery.
6. 100% Odor Free The superior Super Maggot BSF must be 100% free from odor, "pungent" smell, the smell of animal waste and the smell of garbage. Seeds must be completely odor-free, because the smell shows "dirty" and the seeds are not produced from the correct cultivation method. Both the quality of feed and its care. 7. Resistant to Pests and Diseases When buying Super Maggot BSF is superior. If you have "verified the label free of disease", however, this is not necessarily the seeds that are sold in the market are seeds that are ready to be cultivated. Seeds that are ready are those that are free from infection caused by the fungus tinea cruis, this fungus lives and breeds in warm and humid areas. The solution to prevent errors in choosing seeds is to look at other factors such as the appearance of the seed body shape, fat, round, uniform black skin color. and no white fungus has been detected that has attacked the seedlings.
8. Productivity of High Harvesting Results The future criteria are to look for superior super maggot bsf seeds that do have a clear, good, and proven curriculum vitae to produce adequate amounts of broodstock.
High productivity resulting from hatching seeds can be measured from how many seedlings hatch. So that the mother bsf has a good curriculum vitae and can be used as a reference to determine whether the seed is superior and of good quality.
