| 释义 |
Maggot farming is the act of growing maggots for industry. It is distinct from vermicomposting, as there is no separate composting process going on, and maggots are used, which are distinct from earthworms, and which consume only flesh, not plant-based material. Species usedA variety of species can be used, including the black soldier fly.[1][2]. Due to convenience, fly species are often used which are indigenous to the area of cultivation. Method of cultivationWhen using indigenous fly species, one tactic (employed by the Songhai Center in Benin)[3] is to simply dump offal or meat that has exceeded the sell-by date in concrete bins. The bins are then covered with chicken wire to prevent any large animals from feeding. Then, flies deposit eggs on the offal and meat, and maggots hatch and consume it. After that, the bins are filled with water, so the maggots start to float (separating themselves from any leftovers). The maggots are then harvested and the leftover is discarded or further processed (e.g., bones can be ground to bone meal). Use of the maggotsThe maggots are often sold and used as animal feed. In particular, fish, chickens, pigs, and ducks appreciate them.[4][5] They can also be sold as fishing bait. See also
