Bio - Source Biotechnology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. is a high - tech enterprise that is deeply engaged in the construction of the black soldier fly industry chain. With black soldier flies as the core, it carries out a number of businesses such as breeding, processing and sales. The company has an advanced black soldier fly R&D team and breeding technology, adopts modern production processes and equipment, and is committed to producing high - quality and high - efficiency black soldier fly products.

The main products of Bio - Source include: black soldier fly low - temperature air - dried insects, black soldier fly microwave dried insects, black soldier fly eggs, and insect feces. Black soldier fly - related products can be processed into livestock and pet feed, and insect feces can be used as agricultural fertilizers. Black soldier fly products are widely used in agriculture, breeding, food and other fields.

The mission of Bio - Source is to "use microbial fermentation and insect breeding technology to accelerate the transition of mankind to sustainable protein feed and protein food", transform waste into valuable resources, and promote a sustainable circular economy model. Biosource has black soldier fly production bases in multiple provinces, with a monthly production of more than 300 tons of dried insects.

The breeding process of black soldier flies includes collecting eggs, hatching, breeding, harvesting and screening. Black soldier flies can be cultured using a variety of waste materials, such as kitchen waste, bean dregs, crushed husks, expired flour and other agricultural and sideline products and food waste. These wastes are converted into high - protein dried insects and insect feces through the digestion of black soldier flies, which can be used as feed and fertilizer for aquatic products such as chickens, fish and shrimps.

Black soldier flies have high nutritional value as chicken feed, which can improve the growth rate and immunity of chickens, while reducing feed costs. Compared with traditional feed, black soldier fly feed is easier to digest and absorb, can reduce ammonia and odor in the chicken house, and improve environmental hygiene. Studies have shown that compared with traditional feed, the use of black soldier fly feed can significantly reduce broiler chickens' dependence on sensitive antibiotics, while increasing chicken weight, egg production and immunity (Zhan et al., 2018; Liu et al., 2020). In addition, studies have found that adding dried black soldier flies to eggs can increase the nutrient content in egg yolks (Xu et al., 2021).

Both dried black soldier fly insects and insect feces have good application effects. Black soldier fly insects are rich in protein and fat, which can improve the health and growth of fish and shrimp, while reducing feed waste and water pollution. Black soldier fly insect feces is a high - quality organic fertilizer that can improve water quality and increase the output of aquaculture.

In aquaculture, black soldier fly feed can significantly increase the weight of farmed fish and shrimp without affecting their meat quality and taste (Li et al., 2017). At the same time, using black soldier fly feces as organic fertilizer for aquaculture can also significantly improve the yield and quality of farmed aquatic products (Ji et al., 2020).
