However, the animals except the ruminants can only acceptable for a limited amount in food because of the rich of cellulose. It is not efficient in the viewpoint of recirculation. In this study, black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens (L.)) was introduced for the PKC consumption. In order to examine the possibility, we try to feed the larva of black soldier fly with PKC as the only food, and compare the growth efficiency with the groups feed with wheat bran. The black soldier fly can complete the life cycle with PKC as the only food resource, that means the nutrition component is sufficient, however, the growth rate might less than the group feed with wheat bran. By the comparative study of the nutrition component analysis of the larva feed with PKC or wheat bran only, slightly different was shown, especially in the type and the amount of fatty acid. In future research, it is hoped that by adjusting the ratio of feed and the proportion of larvae, we can find the best conditions for using black palm oil to raise black leeches. And to explore whether the black pupa larvae raised by palm kernel oil carp have commercial value.
