Title Study: Farming insects on poultry manure Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Daily Trust Online Media type Web Country/Territory Nigeria Date 23/04/2023 Description Dutch scientists have researched the suitability of poultry manure as a nutrient medium for breeding insects
Although Europe legislation has for many years barred the use of animal protein in feed due to BSE, insects have recently been made an exception – unless they are grown on manure.
Leo Beukeboom, professor of evolutionary genetics at the University of Groningen, said the project wanted to address 2 challenges at the same time.URL https://dailytrust.com/study-farming-insects-on-poultry-manure/ Persons Leo Beukeboom Title Study: Farming insects on poultry manure Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Poultry World Media type Web Country/Territory Netherlands Date 16/03/2023 Description Dutch scientists have researched the suitability of poultry manure as a nutrient medium for breeding insects.

Dat concludeert Hoogleraar Evolutionaire Genetica Leo Beukeboom van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. Met een team van onderzoekers van de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam en Wageningen UR deed hij onderzoek naar de geschiktheid van mest als voedingsbodem voor de kweek van insecten, die een hoogwaardige eiwitbron zijn voor mens en dier.

A team of scientists led by Prof. Leo Beukeboom researched the suitability of manure as a nutrient medium for breeding insects, which are a high-quality source of protein for humans and animals. The use of chicken and pig manure proved to be a cheap and sustainable way to produce protein and also makes a circular contribution to the manure problem.

Leo Beukeboom's consortium researched the suitability of manure as a nutrient medium for breeding insects, which are a high-quality source of protein for humans and animals. The use of chicken and pig manure proved to be a cheap and sustainable way to produce protein and also makes a circular contribution to the manure problem.
The residual stream generated by insect farming itself could also be used in a circular way, according to prof. dr. Marcel Dicke's consortium. They concluded that this residual flow can not only be used very well as manure, but also has a beneficial effect on soil quality, crop growth and crop health.Producer/Author NWO URL https://www.nwo.nl/en/news/magazine-closed-cycles-new-insights-transition-circular-economy Persons Leo Beukeboom Title Farming insects on manure Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Closed Cycles Magazine Media type Print Duration/Length/Size pp. 14-15 Country/Territory Netherlands Date 08/02/2023 Description More and more companies are farming insects for human consumption and animal feed. This project investigated whether houseflies can be farmed using manure as a substrate: a useful application of this waste stream. The results are promising. The process can be fine-tuned to optimise production. Producer/Author NWO URL https://www.nwo.nl/sites/nwo/files/media-files/019_102_GESLOTEN_KRINGLOPEN_EN_WEB_DEF-1.pdf Persons Leo Beukeboom
