Black Soldier Fly larvae is something I am also working on incorporating into having as a feed as well. Extremely nutritious as well as the duckweed.

We feed duckweed which not only grows in adjacent tanks of the aquaponic system but in the effluent from the methane biodigestor. Duckweed can be fed to all livestock except horses. We have fed it to rabbits, fish, chickens, pigs, geese and goats.
