## Abstract
Abstract Black soldier fly larvae or maggot ( Hermetia illucens ) is one type of insect that meets the requirements as alternative protein source of feed. The purpose of this research is to obtain high quality feed production. This research will be carried out in the Animal Husbandry Department of Unasman for the rearing and the nutrition analysis will be carried out in the Feed Chemistry Lab, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, UNHAS. This study was designed using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 5 and 3 replications. The treatments in this study are as follows: A 0 : 5 days, A 1 : 10 days, A 2 : 15 days, A 3 : 20 days, A 4 : 25 days. The results obtained are the rearing period that significantly affect the levels of dry matter, crude fat, and crude protein of black soldier fly maggot ( Hermetia illucens ) and doesn’t have significant effect on crude fibre levels. The rearing period of 25 days (A 4 ) has the highest dry matter content that is 30.47%. Crude fat at 25 days rearing time (A 4 ) is 34.09% significantly higher than A 0 (22.09%), A 1 (24.82%) and A 2 (26.79%). Maggot with a rearing period of 20 days (A 3 ) has the highest crude fibre content of the other treatments that is 10.50% and the lowest is A 0 (9.07%). The A 0 (49.91%) treatment is significantly higher than A 2 , A 3 , and A 4 . The longer the rearing period of Hermetia illucens maggot, the level of dry matter, crude fat and crude fibre tends to increase. However, the crude protein decrease, although not significantly.
