| Product Name | Mixed Batch Black Soldier Fly Products | Wholesale supply of combined BSF life stages including eggs, larvae, prepupae, and pupae |
| Life Stage | Mixed (Eggs / Larvae / Prepupae / Pupae) | Batch may contain 2–4 developmental stages of Hermetia illucens depending on order specification |
| Size Range | 0.5 mm – 25 mm | Varies by stage: eggs ≈0.5 mm, larvae 5–20 mm, prepupae 18–25 mm, pupae 15–22 mm |
| Moisture Content | 60%–72% (fresh); 5%–8% (dried) | Measured at time of packaging; dried batches processed at 60–80°C |
| Protein Content | 38%–45% (dry matter basis) | Crude protein determined by Kjeldahl method; varies by larval instar ratio in batch |
| Fat Content | 18%–35% (dry matter basis) | Higher fat in prepupae-dominant batches; lauric acid comprises 40%–55% of fatty acid profile |
| Ash Content | 5%–9% (dry matter basis) | Mineral fraction including calcium and phosphorus; Ca:P ratio approximately 1.5:1 |
| Survival Rate | ≥85% (live batch delivery) | Applicable to live mixed batches; guaranteed within 48 hours of dispatch under standard shipping conditions |
| Rearing Conditions | Temperature 26–30°C; Humidity 60%–70%; Light cycle 12h/12h | Controlled indoor rearing facility; HVAC-regulated environment throughout production cycle |
| Feed Source | Pre-consumer organic waste / agricultural by-products | Substrates include fruit pomace, grain bran, and vegetable residues; free from animal manure and prohibited substances |
| Packaging | 5 kg / 10 kg / 25 kg per unit; breathable mesh bags or sealed PE bags | Live batches in ventilated containers with moisture-retaining substrate; dried batches in vacuum-sealed PE bags |
| Storage Conditions | Live: 15–20°C, ventilated; Dried: ≤25°C, dry, away from direct light | Do not freeze live batches; dried product stored in sealed environment with relative humidity ≤50% |
| Shelf Life | Live: 3–7 days; Dried: 12 months | From date of dispatch; shelf life dependent on storage compliance and batch composition |
| Application | Aquaculture feed, poultry feed, reptile nutrition, organic fertilizer production | Suitable for direct feeding or further processing into meal, oil, and frass by-products |
| Certification | ISO 9001:2015; GMP+B2; HACCP; Organic substrate compliance | Third-party audited; certificates available upon request for each batch shipment |
| MOQ | 100 kg per order | Mixed batch composition ratio customizable above MOQ threshold; sample orders ≥5 kg available |
| Supply Capacity | 50,000 kg/month | Scalable to 120,000 kg/month with 30-day advance order; consistent year-round production |
Our first 200 kg order of mixed BSFL included a noticeable proportion of fourth-instar larvae mixed into what was specified as a sixth-instar lot — roughly 15% by visual estimate. For our poultry feed application, the size inconsistency affected pellet binding in our initial trial run. I raised the issue with their technical team, who responded within 24 hours, arranged a replacement partial shipment of correctly staged larvae at no additional cost, and updated our account notes for future orders. The replacement lot was correct. Protein specs on the dried component were fine at 40.5% DM. Cautiously optimistic for our next order.
