Growth of larvae of the soldier fly fed with hen manure, swine manure and layer poultry fed. rev. colombiana cienc. anim. Recia [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.2, pp.73-81.  Epub 07-Mayo-2020.

This research studied the effect of three diets, hen manure, swine manure and poultry feed, on the growth of soldier fly larvae, based on the change in the variables weight, width and length of the larvae. The data were analyzed using mixed models of random coefficients, since variables were analyzed over time and longitudinal data are produced. The growth of larvae was analyzed in four weeks and it was observed that feeding with swine manure produces larvae with lower performance in weight, length and width, compared to hen manure and layer feed, which are not significantly different, indicating that hen manure and layer feed are more efficient in terms of growth. It is important to continue to conduct experiments that show that hen manure and layer feed are more appropriate for the growth of soldier fly larvae.
