Enterra Feed Corporation (Enterra) produces black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFL meal), a 60% protein meal, which is used to recover nutrients from traceable, pre-consumer organics, such as greenhouse vegetable waste. In addition to being a source of protein, BSFL meal provides additional health benefits. It contains chitan, a natural a natural antimicrobial, as well as defense antimicrobial peptides. Enterra's company-specific problem is that they require a market for their product. Although BSFL meal has potential for immediate use in poultry and aquaculture feeds, there remain gaps in data on its efficacy in Atlantic salmon and laying hens. These gaps must be filled prior to marketing this feed ingredient and Enterra lacks the facilities and expertise to conduct such research. To remedy this problem, a first-time research relationship with Dr. Derek Anderson at Dalhousie University Faculty of Agriculture (Dal AC) has been sought by Enterra. In this project, researchers at Dal AC will determine the physiological effects of BSFL meal as an animal feed ingredient for future development and to enter external markets. This project will included testing BSFL meal on laying hens and Atlantic salmon at Dal AC. In each species, feeding trials will address inclusion rates and performance data. Enterra will provide the test product as well as additional consultation and support. This project will financially benefit Enterra by providing them with specialized information that will lead to improved products, which Enterra will use to enter new markets. It also benefits the environment by offering a new outlet for organic waste materials that create on-going environmental issues, by converting them into a high-margin, saleable commodity (BSFL meal). It will benefit the Canadian economy by developing a product in demand by poultry and aquaculture industries world-wide and by creating new jobs as use of this product expands.

Enterra饲料公司（Enterra）生产黑水虻幼虫粉（BSFL粉），一种60%的蛋白粉， 其用于从可追踪的消费前有机物（例如温室蔬菜废物）中回收营养物。 除了作为蛋白质的来源，BSFL膳食还提供额外的健康益处。它含有chitan， 天然的天然抗菌剂，以及防御抗菌肽。 Enterra公司的具体问题是，他们需要一个市场，为他们的产品。虽然BSFL餐有 尽管它有可能立即用于家禽和水产养殖饲料，但关于其在以下方面的功效的数据仍然存在空白： 大西洋鲑鱼和蛋鸡。在销售该饲料成分和Enterra之前，必须填补这些空白 缺乏进行此类研究的设施和专业知识。 为了解决这个问题，与达尔豪西大学的德里克安德森博士首次建立了研究关系 农业学院（Dal AC）一直在寻找Enterra。在这个项目中，Dal AC的研究人员将 确定BSFL粉作为动物饲料成分的生理效应，以供未来开发， 进入外部市场。该项目将包括在Dal的蛋鸡和大西洋鲑鱼上测试BSFL粉 AC.在每个物种中，饲养试验将解决纳入率和性能数据。Enterra将提供 测试产品以及其他咨询和支持。 该项目将为Enterra提供专门的信息，从而使其在经济上受益， 改进的产品，Enterra将使用这些产品进入新市场。它还通过提供 有机废物的新出路，创造持续的环境问题，通过将它们转化为 高利润、可销售商品（BSFL餐）。它将通过开发一种产品， 世界范围内家禽业和水产养殖业的需求，并通过使用该产品创造新的就业机会， 扩展。
