Loiotine, Z., Gasco, L., Biasato, I. et al. 2024. Effect of larval handling on black soldier fly life history traits and bioconversion efficiency. Frontiers in Veterinary Science 11.

In conclusion, the handling procedures used in the current study did not influence the life history traits of the black soldier fly. However, further studies are needed to evaluate if different experimental protocols on various scales, the colony strain or other handling procedures may suggest a different scenario or confirm the results.
