Browning, H. and Veit, W. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7701-8995 (2025) Best practice for farmed insect welfare: lessons from black soldier flies. Animal Behaviour and Welfare Cases. abwcases20250014. ISSN 2958-4353 doi: 10.1079/abwcases.2025.0014

Abstract/Summary

There is a growing concern for the welfare of farmed insects, due to recognition of their probable sentience and their increasing use. Ensuring good welfare requires implementing best practice in welfare assessment and in developing evidence-based welfare guidelines for housing and husbandry. This case study on black soldier flies (Hermetia illucens) examines some potential methods for both, highlighting current knowledge gaps and the most urgent research priorities for insect welfare.
