To enhance production, livestock industries such as the raising of poultry, have relied on the use of protein feeds based on fish- or soy-meal. In addition, since the 1950's, antibiotics have been used as dietary supplements to enhance growth and reduce infections. However, with declining fish stocks and environmental concerns due to increased soybean production is leading to growing global concern regarding the sustainability of livestock production. Furthermore, livestock industries are facing increasing public pressure to eliminate the use of so called 'antibiotic growth promoters'. In collaboration with AgriPortein, a global leader in the production of insect-based animal feed, we seek to define the nutritional and antimicrobial potential of black soldier fly larvae. Through these studies, we will be well placed to inform the livestock industry on the

为了提高产量，家禽饲养等畜牧业依赖于使用以鱼粉或豆粕为基础的蛋白质饲料。此外，自20世纪50年代以来，抗生素已被用作膳食补充剂，以促进生长和减少感染。然而，随着鱼类资源的减少和大豆产量增加引起的环境问题，全球对畜牧业生产的可持续性日益感到关切。此外，畜牧业正面临越来越大的公众压力，要求消除所谓的“抗生素生长促进剂”的使用。通过与全球昆虫饲料生产领导者AgriPortein合作，我们寻求确定黑水虻幼虫的营养和抗菌潜力。透过这些研究，我们将可向禽畜业提供有关
