What Are Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL)?

Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) are the larvae of Hermetia illucens, a non-pest, environmentally friendly species. These larvae are raised on clean food waste, turning organic materials into rich, nutrient-dense protein and calcium — making them a perfect feed ingredient for poultry, including chickens, ducks, and other backyard birds. BSFL are known for being highly sustainable and nutritionally complete.

Why BSFL Are the Sustainable Choice for Backyard Poultry

BSFL farming is an incredibly sustainable practice. Unlike traditional animal feed sources like soy or fishmeal, BSFL farming requires far fewer resources, including land, water, and energy. By using clean food waste as feed, Black Soldier Fly Larvae help reduce landfill waste and contribute to a circular, regenerative food system. This makes BSFL not only a great choice for poultry health but also for the planet.

By choosing BSFL, you are supporting a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to poultry feed while providing your flock with superior, natural nutrition.
