Chicken manure boosts maggot growth, revolutionizing waste management in villages.
Manure waste from farms and livestock can be turned into food for black soldier fly maggots. Researchers studied how well the maggots grew when fed different types of manure. They found that chicken manure helped the maggots grow bigger and heavier compared to rabbit, goat, and cow manure. This is because chicken manure has more protein and carbohydrates, making it a better food source for the maggots.
