This groundbreaking research paper that delves into the genetic secrets of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), a cornerstone of the burgeoning insect farming industry. 

The study, titled "Cryptic diversity and signatures of domestication in the Black Soldier Fly," uncovers fascinating insights that can revolutionize our breeding solutions.

Key Highlights:

➜𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲: The study reveals two genetic lineages in black soldier flies, diverged for over 3 million years, showcasing the species' cryptic diversity.

➜𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: Despite mass production scaling up in the past two decades, strong genome-wide signatures of domestication are evident in captive populations.

➜𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬: Five major domestication loci on chromosomes two, four, and five were identified, influencing development, behavior, reproduction, metabolism, and immunity.

➜𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Independent domestication events show repeated genetic signatures, highlighting convergent genome evolution.

➜𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰: Limited evidence of gene flow between divergent lineages and hybridization from domesticated populations into the wild was observed.

This research provides a robust genomic platform for breeding and genetic surveillance, paving the way for enhanced commercial and academic applications.

With PauseM®, we are revolutionizing the way you practice BSF farming. It has never been simpler to achieve high-performance, consistent, and efficient rearing operations.

Each PauseM® unit contains pre-counted, high-performing, suspended BSF neonates, ensuring unmatched efficiency. PauseM® has a shelf life of 14 days while maintaining over a 90% survival rate during the entire suspension period.

PauseM® can be implemented in various operational scenarios, such as batch nursery or tray-to-tray. Here, we highlight the tray-to-tray model.

In this model, each PauseM® unit contains a precise number of suspended neonates, tailored to the customer’s needs. There is no need to count and dose neonates into each tray, allowing you to achieve high nursery accuracy and consistency.

After 5-7 days, the nursery tray can be transferred directly to a rearing tray, which contains the precise amount of feedstock and has optimized dimensions to rear the same amount of larvae from the nursery. This method enables very high rearing KPIs with minimal handling.

Bottom line: with the tray-to-tray method, you can save significant Capex (no need for a counting machine), reduce operational costs and complexity, and achieve seamless scalability.

Whether you're a protein producer or a waste management operator, PauseM® will make a difference and enhance your productivity. Experience the difference with our innovative solutions!

How to transform Waste into Valuable Resources with Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Technology

We're excited to share a groundbreaking collaboration between Shachar Group and FreezeM that is revolutionizing waste management. Shachar Group, through its subsidiary Binge Organics, converts industrial and commercial food waste into animal feed using innovative BSF rearing methods with FreezeM's support with its Breeding-as-a-Service model.

https://lnkd.in/dNdMr-9R

➤ The Challenge:
Wet waste streams, often inefficient and less favorable for upcycling, typically end up in energy production, missing their potential as animal feed.

➤ The Solution:
FreezeM’s decoupled model supplies Shachar with FreezeM BSF ready-to-use neonates, allowing BSF production directly within existing waste management facilities. This collaboration enhances scalability, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency, making wet waste conversion into valuable insect protein a reality.

Learn more about how we're paving the way for sustainable waste management and economic growth. Read the case study here:

It was a great pleasure to attend #Insecta2024, the international conference on #insects for #feed, which took place in Potsdam, near Berlin, Germany last week. 

We had the chance to meet with many friends and industry leaders and learn more about the future and trends in this rapidly evolving field. 

Here are some of the key takeaways and hot topics discussed:

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: We learned that chitosan can be derived from BSF chitin sourced from prepupa exuviae, pupa exuviae, and dead flies. This versatile biopolymer has promising applications in the cosmetics industry, vegetable preservation, storage and packaging methods, and water treatment.

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The importance of maintaining the health and stability of a colony, efficient waste digestion, and specific nutrient ratios for targeted growth is becoming increasingly understood. There is a growing recognition of the need to separate breeding and rearing processes, as each has distinct requirements. Additionally, artificial selection is being utilized to develop new genetic lines, enhancing the overall efficiency of BSF farming.

𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡: Significant research is being conducted on the microbiome, highlighting its importance and the potential of antimicrobial substances found in the fly. This area of study could unlock new benefits and applications in the industry.

A special thanks to our collaborators at Hermetia Baruth GmbH, Simon Guilbaud and Franziska Schindler, for hosting us at their factory in Germany.

Exciting times lie ahead in the insect industry, and we are looking forward to the next meeting. Let's continue to innovate and drive this industry forward!
