The research team from the Faculty of Animal Science of Universitas Gadjah Mada (Fapet UGM) found that oil derived from the black soldier larvae oil (BSFLO) could reduce the fat content in broiler chickens fed with low protein feeds. These research findings have been published in the journal Poultry Science, a Q1 journal with 3.8 impact factor. 

Dr. Muhsin Al Anas, S.Pt., IPP., as the lead researcher, stated that black soldier fly (BSF) could become a solution in future poultry feedsmaking as an alternative additive in order to produce healthier chicken meats. read more
