Krishivan Research Centre successfully presented the outcomes of a YUKRIT-supported research project focused on transforming organic waste into a sustainable and cost-effective source of high-protein feed for fish and poultry. During the project review meeting, researchers shared the final findings, highlighting how black soldier fly larvae can efficiently convert biodegradable waste into nutrient-rich feed ingredients.
The project demonstrated that fish and poultry fed with the developed protein-rich feed showed healthy growth and performance while reducing dependence on expensive commercial feed. The initiative also produced valuable organic compost from the remaining processed waste, promoting a circular and environmentally responsible farming model.
Researchers, scientists, and stakeholders appreciated the project’s innovative approach towards waste management, sustainable agriculture, and livestock nutrition. The findings offer a practical solution for farmers by lowering feed costs, improving resource utilization, and creating additional income opportunities through eco-friendly farming practices. The successful completion of the project marks an important step towards promoting sustainable agriculture, fisheries, and poultry development in Uttarakhand.
