Abstract

The aim of the research was to compare the yields of house fly larvae using different proportions of wheat bran and hens feces as larval development medium, in a randomized block experimental design with five replications in propylene containers with 3 cm of depth of substrates: A-100 % wheat bran; B- 50% wheat bran and 50% hens feces; C- 100% hens feces. Measurements of the temperature of the substrates, as well as the temperature and relative humidity of the place where the flies were developing were made every 24 hours. The larval yield per m2 and kg of substrate, (including the water used to moisten the larval media) were also registered. The temperature in the substrates ranged between 22.88 oC and 36.08 oC, always above the ambient temperature in the fly house, and relative humidity between 44 and 68%. Was used 32.91, 30.29 and 32.19 L of water per square meter for treatments A, B and C, respectively. The highest larval yield was obtained in the first harvest after six days for treatment B with 2290.59 g m2-1 y 112.07 g kg2-1. The transformation of the crude protein of the substrates by the fly larvae was between 28.0 and 37.0%. No presence of pathogenic agents (Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, and Coccidia) was observed in the treatments, nor in the harvested larvae.
