Flies, Frass, Feces and Fields

Livestock & Poultry Environmental Learning Community webinar series
August 15, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM CT

The Flies, Frass, Feces, and Fields webinar will explore how black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) can transform food and agricultural waste into valuable products for both animal feed and soil health. Presenters will discuss large-scale BSFL production, the frass co-product, and how nutrient content can vary based on inputs and processing. The session will cover regulations, marketing considerations, and practical handling for soil application, as well as research comparing frass to poultry litter and synthetic fertilizers. This innovative approach offers a circular solution to food waste and fertilizer needs, supporting sustainable agriculture and food security.
