Abstract
El presente trabajo de suficiencia profesional evaluó el uso de larvas vivas de Hermetia illucens, mosca soldado negra (MSN) como alternativa biotecnológica en la alimentación de gallinas ponedoras bajo un enfoque de seguridad alimentaria y economía circular. El estudio se desarrolló en 2 fases: la primera fase consistió en estandarizar y optimizar la dieta larvaria en el bioterio de la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, posteriormente estas larvas MSN fueron alimento suplementario de gallinas Lohmann criadas en Huacho. Para ello se implementaron tres tratamientos de alimentación para las gallinas: dieta convencional (control), dieta convencional suplementada con 10% de larvas criadas en residuos orgánicos de supermercado, y dieta convencional suplementada con 10% de larvas criadas en residuos de supermercado con guano avícola. Se registraron también, el peso corporal de las aves y la producción de huevos, se evaluó la composición nutricional de los huevos, los niveles de corticosterona y la microbiota intestinal de las gallinas. En esta primera fase los resultados mostraron que la suplementación con larvas incrementó el peso corporal promedio y mejorar la calidad nutricional de los huevos, con mayor contenido proteico y lipídico. Además, los niveles de corticosterona en los tratamientos no tuvieron diferencias significativas. La segunda fase fue implementada en un colegio inicial de San Martín de Porres, en la cual se demostró la viabilidad social y educativa de un sistema circular que integra la recolección de residuos orgánicos, cría de larvas, suplementación de gallinas y consumo de huevos en programas de alimentación escolar-infantil. Todos estos resultados corroboran que el uso de larvas vivas de Hermetia illucens como suplemento alimenticio constituye una alternativa sostenible que mejora la seguridad alimentaria, reduce la dependencia de insumos convencionales y promueve la economía circular.
This professional sufficiency thesis evaluated the use of live larvae of Hermetia illucens, black soldier fly (BSF), as a biotechnological alternative in the feeding of laying hens under a food security and circular economy approach. The study was developed in two phases. The first phase consisted of standardizing and optimizing the larval diet in the biotery of the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia. Subsequently, these BSF larvae were used as a supplementary feed for Lohmann hens raised in Huacho. For this purpose, three feeding treatments were implemented for the hens: a conventional diet (control), a conventional diet supplemented with 10% larvae reared on supermarket organic waste, and a conventional diet supplemented with 10% larvae reared on supermarket waste with poultry guano. The birds' body weight and egg production were recorded, and the nutritional composition of the eggs, corticosterone levels, and the hens' gut microbiota were evaluated. In this first phase, the results showed that supplementation with larvae increased the average body weight and improved the nutritional quality of the eggs, with higher protein and lipid content. Furthermore, corticosterone levels showed no significant differences between the treatments. The second phase was implemented in a preschool in San Martín de Porres, which demonstrated the social and educational viability of a circular system that integrates the collection of organic waste, larvae breeding, hen supplementation, and egg consumption in school-child nutrition programs. All these results corroborate that the use of live Hermetia illucens larvae as a dietary supplement constitutes a sustainable alternative that improves food security, reduces dependence on conventional inputs, and promotes the circular economy.
