Abstract

Unconsciously, garbage and household waste are increasingly piling up and will continue to grow. The result will be a serious problem for the environment and public health. Maggot has two benefits at once, to act as a waste bioconversion agent as well as animal feed containing high protein. The purpose of this study is to observe how big the prospects for maggot cultivation are if cultivated simply by every village community. This research was conducted from May to October 2019, at Gampong Lueng Tanoh Tho village, Woyla Sub-district, West Aceh District. This research was conducted by conducting simple maggot cultivation trials. The trials were carried out with one repetition to get convincing results. The results showed prospects in terms of technical cultivation, maggot cultivation is completely easy and does not require much money. It only requires a container (used containers or used buckets). Judging from the prospect of profit, maggot cultivation is truly profitable since it costs little. There are many opportunities to market maggot either around the location of Gampong Lueng Tanoh Tho or at Meulaboh town with the target of catfish and tilapia farming farmers as well as bird keepers. In terms of the environment, Maggot is an important solution to keep the environment clean and healthy.
