This presentation is about using sustainable fly farming and processing techniques to get commercially viable protein source as fish and soy meal alternatives.
This document presents a literature review and proposed design for a system to digest food waste from Clemson University's dining halls using black soldier fly larvae. It summarizes the current food waste problem, goals to consume 130kg of waste per day, and constraints of fitting within campus infrastructure. A black soldier fly system is chosen over alternatives like composting due to its ability to produce useful outputs like lipids and protein. The proposed design considers a continuous system using growth rate models and mass/energy balances. Key factors identified are temperature, aeration, moisture and feeding rate. The design aims to process Clemson's waste while meeting constraints and producing value-added outputs.
This document summarizes the design and implementation of a black soldier fly waste management system at Montaña de Luz. The system was designed to address waste management problems, reduce odors, and produce animal feed and compost. It consists of a large wood and mesh bin with fly entry holes, egg traps, drainage, and pupae collection bins. The system can process around 37 pounds of food waste per day, providing benefits while requiring little maintenance at a cost of approximately $300. Challenges during construction included transportation limitations, availability of supplies, and preventing ant infestations. Ongoing recommendations include daily maintenance and monitoring to keep the system functioning properly.
An engineered BSF processing facility can be designed and operated to achieve certain target objectives based on the natural life cycle of BSF. These, for instance, can be to cost effectively augment larvae quality or maximize the larval mass quantity produced within a certain time frame or
based on a particular feedstock, similar to a typical livestock rearing system (chicken, beef, etc.).
This document discusses research on the use of black soldier fly meal as a feed ingredient for Atlantic salmon. It summarizes research from the Institute of Marine Research in Norway on the nutritional qualities and safety considerations of black soldier fly meal. The document outlines the protein, lipid and amino acid composition of black soldier fly larvae and how it compares to Atlantic salmon requirements. It also discusses research trials feeding black soldier fly meal to Atlantic salmon to evaluate its effects on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, fillet quality, and stress response in fish.
This document discusses using insects as a protein source in poultry feed. It notes that poultry feed costs account for 75-80% of production costs, and alternative protein sources are needed. Insects are a promising option as they contain high quality protein and have a short lifecycle and high reproduction rate. Key insect species for poultry feed include black soldier flies, housefly larvae, silkworm pupae, and yellow mealworms. Insects have characteristics like nutrient content, conversion efficiency, and environmental benefits that make them suitable for use in poultry feed.

Millibeter breeds black soldier fly larvae that can be used to convert organic waste into valuable products like proteins, lipids, and chitin. The larvae are fed organic waste and then processed to extract these components. Millibeter is building an Insect Bioconversion Reactor facility to produce these products at scale for use as sustainable aquaculture and animal feeds. The process and products comply with all relevant EU regulations.
- Insect-assisted organic waste management provides a circular economy approach to addressing challenges around increasing food production needs and decreasing mineral fertilizer use.
- Black soldier fly larvae efficiently convert organic wastes like food waste, manure, and abattoir waste into biomass with high conversion rates, while significantly reducing waste volumes and pathogens.
- The larvae and their frass have potential as animal feed and organic fertilizer, providing valuable nutrients back to agriculture in a safer and more efficient way compared to conventional systems.
- A semi-centralized modular system is proposed to treat various organic waste streams from farms and food markets at a local scale using black soldier fly rearing and waste processing.
This document summarizes a presentation on integrating edible insects into food. It discusses the global challenges of feeding a growing population by 2050 and how insects provide a more sustainable source of protein compared to traditional livestock. Insects require less land and water use and have a higher feed conversion efficiency. The presentation outlines the industrial potential of certain insect species like black soldier flies and crickets as food. It also discusses current and projected market sizes for insect-based foods in Europe. The remainder covers characterization of insects as ingredients, processing methods to extract high-value components like oils and minerals, sensory analysis, and example product types that have been developed with insect ingredients.
This document summarizes research from VIVES University on three topics: 1) Automation of insect farming using Tenebrio molitor beetles, focusing on developing an automated feeding line to reduce labor; 2) Research on using waste streams like potato skins as feed for insects to convert nitrogen into protein instead of ammonia; and 3) Studying the nutritional requirements of insects like black soldier fly larvae, finding they need less protein than chicken feed standards.
Black Soldier Fly: The Star of Insect Farming
The Black Soldier Fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (L.), is a wasp-like fly from the Stratiomyidae family of the order Diptera. It is native to the tropical regions of South America and is found globally in tropical and warm temperate regions between latitudes 45°N and 40°S. The insect completes its life cycle in around 25 days, consisting of four developmental stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The larvae undergo six instars, where the final instar develops into a mobile, prepupa.
BSF larvae are commercially mass produced for various purposes, viz., fish and livestock feed, organic waste management, chitin production, bioplastic manufacturing, compost preparation, and many other commercial uses. BSF can also be consumed as human feed in a fried or salted state. BSF prepupae are reported to constitute around 36% to 65% of protein content and 4% to 38% of crude fat content, along with various aminoacids and micronutrients. The prepupal stage of BSF has an average nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium content of 3.26%, 0.98%, and 1.03%, respectively.
The larval stage of BSF is capable of bioconversion of organic wastes such as animal faeces, kitchen waste, vertebrate remains and decompose them into homogeneous substrate in a shorter time period as compared to vermicompost production. Depending on the size and stage of the larvae, type of the substrate available and environmental conditions, the larvae consume around 25 to 500 mg of organic matter per larva on daily basis (Kim et al. 2021). Larvae can be easily mass produced at farm level with minimal space requirements and its prepupae are used as a perfect substitute for the expensive soybean meal and fish meal diets.
The BSF larval frass and its residues are applied as organic fertiliser, which improves the growth and development of plants (Lopes et al. 2022). By diverting organic waste to BSF larvae, the waste is efficiently converted into biomass, significantly reducing methane and other greenhouse gas emissions. Chitin can be produced from the BSF pupal shells, which has many applications in agriculture, textiles, and the pharmaceutical industry. BSF-derived oil has a high concentration of medium-chain saturated fatty acids (27% to 50% total fatty acids), which makes it potentially an ideal substrate for producing high-quality biodiesel. The lactic acid fermented products of BSF possess a high antimicrobial biomass, which inhibits pathogens like Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli.
Due to its fast growth, reproduction, and ease with which it can be maintained, the BSF has gained recognition as a highly promising insect for farming and thus earned its reputation as the "Star of Insect Farming". BSF farming can be particularly effective in regions with limited access to traditional protein source, which can improve food and nutritional security. Moreover, India’s climate is well suited for BSF.
The document discusses the history and principles of nanotechnology. It describes various types of nanoparticles including inorganic nanoparticles like silver and organic nanoparticles. It explains methods for preparation of nanoparticles including physical methods like ball milling and chemical methods like cross linking microemulsion and precipitation. It discusses the effects of nanoparticles on various properties including increased surface area and reactivity. The document then summarizes several studies on the effects of nano zinc oxide, nano selenium, and nano zinc on parameters like milk production, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation, and semen quality in animals.
The document discusses two common layer breeds: Bovans Brown and White Leghorn chickens. Bovans Browns lay brown eggs weighing approximately 310g and are brown feathered. They produce a large number of eggs for the first 3-4 years. White Leghorns originate from Italy, lay white eggs weighing around 57g, and are the most widely used commercial egg laying breed due to their high productivity. Both breeds are well suited for egg production but differ in feather color, egg color/size, and nutritional profile.

This presentation is by the group "Rainbow" and introduces Bangladesh's poultry industry. It discusses that poultry plays a vital role in Bangladesh and involves 85% of rural people. While domestic demand for meat and eggs is high, availability meets only 12.5% of meat and 48.6% of egg demands. The poultry industry has seen exponential growth over the past 20 years and contributes significantly to GDP and poverty reduction. However, the industry faces challenges such as disease outbreaks, lack of infrastructure, and many intermediaries that drive up costs. The group recommends increased support through improved access to loans, investment in infrastructure and disease prevention, and reducing intermediaries in the supply chain.

This document discusses the reproductive system and egg production process in poultry. It describes each part of the reproductive tract and its role in either producing eggs or sperm. It then covers the requirements for incubating eggs both naturally with a hen or artificially in an incubator. Key steps in brooding and raising chicks like temperature control and feeding are outlined. The document concludes with descriptions of housing systems and daily routines for managing layer flocks.
The document discusses prebiotics, which are non-digestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of certain bacteria in the colon. Common prebiotics include inulin, fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, and mannooligosaccharides. Studies show that supplementing prebiotics in poultry feed increases beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, improves gut health and immunity, reduces pathogenic bacteria, and enhances meat quality. The optimal levels of prebiotic supplementation are 0.25% fructooligosaccharides or 0.05% mannooligosaccharides.
This document discusses various types of feed additives used to improve animal growth and feed efficiency. It describes common feed additives like antibiotics, hormones, probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, acids, antioxidants, and flavors. It provides examples of specific additives used and explains their mechanisms of action, including improving nutrient digestibility and availability, modifying gut microflora, enhancing immune response, and altering animal metabolism and growth pathways. The document also notes some potential consequences if certain additives like antibiotics are banned.

This document discusses sustainable livestock and crop production. It begins with definitions of sustainability in agriculture. It then describes several sustainability initiatives and certification programs in Canada including the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, and Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform. The rest of the document focuses on describing a theoretical model sustainable farm in Ontario with details on its crop rotations, livestock species included, feed requirements, manure and nutrient outputs, and protein production potentials of different livestock combinations.
Fish farming traditionally has many drawbacks. But it evolved after the ages to produce huge number of fishes in lesser space with Biofloc technology which has a competitive advantage over the traditional technique.
Current food needs in the world are growing due to population boom and the popularity of fish is drastically improved due to it, whereas the supply of fish becoming stagnant due to pollution, plastic and many factors, etc. To tackle this needs scientists have developed a technique to produce it commercially with less space, in lesser time with a less inorganic food requirement.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
