Maggots as Fish Feed

You can produce maggots from fibrous vegetable material and poultry droppings. You’ll need something like a tank with a capacity of one cubic metre (1m3). Fill it with water until the water level is about 15cm from the top. Then dried stalks of maize, amaranth, groundnut, soya and other legumes are soaked in the water and some poultry droppings are added. Flies will come and lay their eggs in the soaked material. After five to seven days, the eggs will hatched and larvae would have attended a large enough size. Beyond 7 days, the maggots will develop into adult flies.


You must cover the tank to protect the eggs from intense sunlight. If you don’t, up to 50 percent of the eggs will die.


You can produce maggots this way, dry them and use it to formulate feed for various animals.

is it possible to raise an appreciable amount of maggots from this method
