Many farmers complain that feed takes up 60–70% of their expenses. And it’s true — feed prices alone can break even the most hardworking farmer. But what if you could grow your own high-quality animal feed right in your backyard, using waste that would have been thrown away?
That’s where Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming comes in. These harmless insects are nature’s recyclers — they turn food waste into protein-rich larvae that chickens, fish, and pigs love. And the best part? They thrive in Nigeria’s warm climate.
Below is black soldier fly. If you observe manure pile carefully you'll see them.
Below is bsf pupae or maggot. You can feed them to livestocks and fish and allow some to hatch into adults
