If you own chickens, you will know how they gobble up insects with gusto. A mere sight of such treats is enough to find your chickens scampering excitedly towards you. Not only do these treats increase the welfare of your chickens, but they also provide essential nutrients to boost your chickens’ diet. Constantly entreating your chickens to such feed even provides an unexpected benefit. When it becomes an exercise that conditions chickens’ behaviour, your flock will be trained to get back into the coop safely after free-ranging.
While mealworms might have been the go-to snack for feeding your chicken for a long time, the Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) has now been on the radar for its benefits. In this article, we will find out how Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) can be a better insect treat for your flocks.
1. BSFL are packed with nutrients that help promote your flock's growth
Protein is needed regularly to ensure your chicken’s muscular and skeletal development. The Black Soldier Fly Larvae contains high levels of protein, fat, and moderate levels of fiber and calcium. These nutrients aid chickens that are molting regain healthy feathers, enable stronger bones and enhance their immunity. Hence, this will help your chicken to grow a thicker and more beautiful plumage. Especially during times of stress and weather changes, the Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) being high in protein, will be the much needed protein supplement for your flock.
2. BSFL helps to boost your flock immunity
More than just the growth of your flock, the Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) also helps to improve your chicken’s nutrient digestibility, and fortify their immune system. Studies have shown that the Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), even in small amounts, enhances the immune responses in your chicken as well as reduces mortality and improves pathogen clearance. This helps to prevent your flock from getting diseases. This is especially important not just for commercial farms, but also for owners who rear chickens to harvest their eggs.
