Genetically Enhanced Black Soldier Fly Larvae Provide Superior Protein Source for Livestock Feed

With the rapid increase in the global population, a "protein crisis" is expected in the near future, where the supply of protein will not be able to meet the rising demand. Fishmeal is the most common protein source that supports the production of livestock and aquaculture products, which are key protein sources for human consumption.
