|---|---|---|
| Product Name | Black Soldier Fly Larvae — Bulk Producer for Hydroponic Feed | Live or dried BSFL cultivated for hydroponic and aquaponic feed applications |
| Life Stage | 5th–6th instar larvae | Harvested at peak nutritional density before prepupal stage |
| Size Range | 15–25 mm (length); 0.1–0.2 g (individual weight) | Uniform sizing ensured through mechanical grading |
| Moisture Content | 65–70% (fresh); ≤8% (dried) | Measured by oven-drying method at 105°C for 24 h |
| Protein Content | 42–48% (dry matter basis) | Crude protein determined by Kjeldahl method |
| Fat Content | 28–35% (dry matter basis) | Ether extract method; rich in lauric acid (C12:0) |
| Ash Content | 4–7% (dry matter basis) | Includes calcium, phosphorus, and trace minerals |
| Survival Rate | ≥92% (live batch delivery) | Assessed within 24 h of packaging under standard transit conditions |
| Rearing Conditions | Temperature: 27–30°C; Humidity: 60–70% RH | Controlled indoor rearing facility with biosecurity protocols |
| Feed Source | Pre-consumer organic food waste / vegetable by-products | Substrate compliant with circular agriculture standards; free from animal manure |
| Packaging | Live: ventilated bags (5 kg, 10 kg); Dried: vacuum-sealed bags (10 kg, 25 kg) | Custom bulk packaging available upon request for MOQ orders |
| Storage Conditions | Live: 15–20°C, dark; Dried: ≤25°C, dry, away from light | Do not freeze live larvae; store dried product in sealed containers |
| Shelf Life | Live: 3–5 days; Dried: 12 months | Under recommended storage conditions from date of production |
| Application | Hydroponic fish feed, aquaponic systems, poultry supplement, reptile feed | Suitable as direct feed or ingredient in compound feed formulations |
| Certification | ISO 22000, HACCP, Organic Feed Substrate Verified | Third-party audited; documentation available upon request |
| MOQ | 50 kg (dried); 100 kg (live, regional delivery) | Lower MOQ negotiable for trial orders |
| Supply Capacity | ≥5,000 kg/month (dried equivalent) | Scalable production with 30-day advance order scheduling |
Initial Documentation Gap — Resolved Promptly After Escalation
Our first shipment of 30 kg BSFL for a controlled hydroponic trial arrived without the substrate origin certificates our biosecurity compliance team required under Australian DAFF import standards. This created a 48-hour hold at the border. After escalating to their technical team, the full documentation was provided within 6 hours and the shipment cleared. The larvae themselves tested well — 40% crude protein, chitin at 5.5% dry weight, no detectable pathogens. The issue appears to have been a documentation checklist oversight rather than a systemic problem. Second order processed without any issues. Worth continuing with, but verify documentation requirements upfront.
