How Black Soldier Fly Larvae Compare With Mealworms
Black soldier fly larvae and dried mealworms are both commonly used as dried insect treats, but their nutritional profiles differ. These black soldier fly larvae contain a minimum of 3% calcium and 45% crude protein, making calcium one of their notable nutritional characteristics.
For laying poultry, calcium is particularly relevant because it is used in eggshell formation. Offering black soldier fly larvae as a treat can be one way to add a calcium-containing food to a flock's overall feeding routine while giving birds something they enjoy.
