The project Optimization of insect production for animal feed through breeding with participants from Aalborg University, Aarhus University and partners from the industry has just been completed and has had two dissemination articles published. One in EU Research in English, and one in Aktuel Naturvidenskab, published by, among others, the TECH Faculty at Aarhus University.

The two main objectives of the project – a genetic and phenotypic improvement of the common housefly with the aim of optimizing production and breeding the best individuals, and utilization of waste streams for feeding black soldier fly larvae (e.g. spent grain from beer brewing and other food waste) with the aim of studying the effect of waste types on the development of the flies and protein content in the larvae – are developed in both articles.

Find the article in Aktuel Naturvidenskab here (in Danish), and the article in EU Research here (in English).
