Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the quantity and proximate quality of maggots produced from different
livestock wastes. The livestock wastes used in this experiment were poultry droppings at 0%, 10% and 20%
sawdust inclusion levels and cattle blood at 0%, 10% and 20% sawdust inclusion levels. The experiment was
conducted in an open environment under the room temperature. Results from this experiment suggest that a 10%
sawdust inclusion could optimize the quantity and proximate composition, especially protein, of maggots
produced from cattle blood and poultry droppings.
