@@frankkunkundi786 hi, the bsf eggs are hatched first in a separate container until they are about 1 week old before putting the young larvae into the trays beneath the cage to catch the chicken manure as their food until they are matured enough and ready to harvest in about 2 -3 weeks.
e.coli and salmonella cannot thrive in the digestive tract of a black soldier fly larva due to the beneficial bacteria that's present in their gut so it's very safe to feed the bsf larva to animals. but if you really want to be 100% sure that its free from harmful bacteria, you can blanch the larvae in hot water (100 degrees Celsius) for a couple of minutes to make sure that all harmful bacteria are totally killed before feeding them to your chickens. here is an article for your further reading farmingblacksoldierfly.com/boost-your-chickens-gut-health-with-black-soldier-fly-oil/
@@radicalfarming tks a lots for ur help. LOVE ur way putting larva trays beneath the cage. Ill will do the same when i start with chicken. By the way, do u know what product can i add (mix) into the larva's food that can avoid bad smell? I normally use vegetables and fruit (waste) as their food, and the temperature is getting higher ( almost summer). Tks
@@mirzafaisalbaig the tray is directly beneath the cage so that when the chicken poops, the tray can catch the fresh manures and so the larvae can eat the manure directly. the contents of the tray are just fresh chicken manure and bsf larvae. nothing else.

Hello, thanks for your good videos, a question though, where/ how do you get bsf eggs for hatching and growth in the trapping trays down there?
Another question is, "do you feed bsf lavae alone, without any grains, from day one to slaughter/sale?"

Is it possible to feed chicken BSF larvae only without giving them commercial feed?
yes its possible!
thanks
Hello, is it okay to feed the larvae directly without sterilizing them? How about harmful bacteria such as e. Coli or salmonella?

Hi. Wanna ask u one question, do u know how to sterilizing the larva? Tks
I mean still keeping them (larva) alive after the sterilizing
@@diegochou517 the larva will die if you sterilize them. so no need to sterilize the larva because they are safe.

Actually we are waiting for your setup
sure thanks we are working on it now so please check this channel from time to time.
@@radicalfarming I was thinking from long time about such setup।
@@mirzafaisalbaig btw may I know what setup are you expecting? so that we can create a video that meets your expectation :)
@@radicalfarming how you are putting tray? What were the contents in the tray? How you are putting larva?
@@mirzafaisalbaig the tray is directly beneath the cage so that when the chicken poops, the tray can catch the fresh manures and so the larvae can eat the manure directly. the contents of the tray are just fresh chicken manure and bsf larvae. nothing else.
