  Bio-waste conversion is an important global environmental issue. Household bio-waste, poultry manure and dog stool constitute a considerable percentage of the produced bio-waste. Flies such as Hermetia illucens (L.) and Musca domestica (L.) are largely used in the conversion of household bio-waste and poultry manure. So far, no flies have been used in conversion of dog stool. In this study, effectiveness of conversion of such biowastes of different flies, namely Calliphora vicina, Lucilia sericata, Musca domestica, Fannia canicularis (L.), and Sarcophaga argyrostoma are investigated and contrasted against the reference fly, Hermetia illucens. In household bio-waste conversion, Hermetia illucens and Sarcophaga argyrostoma, and in dog stool conversion Hermetia illucens and Musca domestica have been found to be effective. Conversion of poultry manure mixed with cattle lung by four fly sp.. Read More»
