BSF Meal for Prawn Farming in Malay
Black soldier fly (BSF) meal is becoming a serious alternative protein source for Malaysian prawn farming. Rising fish meal prices and sustainability concerns have pushed farms to explore insect protein. BSF meal offers strong digestibility, good amino acid balance, and a lower environmental footprint. For vannamei and freshwater prawns, partial fish meal replacement can reduce feed cost volatility while maintaining growth. In Malaysia, where aquaculture margins are sensitive to imported raw materials, BSF offers local sourcing opportunities. As more startups build larvae processing capacity, prawn farms may benefit from more stable supply and predictable protein pricing.
