Abstract/summary: The increasing poultry and livestock farm operations have led to a great deal of manure generation. If inappropriately managed, it may cause adverse impacts on the environment, health, and economy. Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) larvae (BSFL) can potentially convert manure into protein-rich biomass and nutrient-rich frass effectively. In this study, BSFL were reared on three different waste streams – quail manure (QM), chicken manure (CM), and pig manure (PM). Manure mass was significantly reduced by larvae, of which QM had the highest overall degradation of 62.49% and waste reduction index of 10.42% (p-value < 0.05) of dry matter (DM). The larvae reared in QM also had the highest bioconversion rate (26.41%) and individual larval weight (~ 0.22 g/larva) (p < 0.05) with DM protein and fat contents of 54.77 and 13.79%, respectively, being a potentially high protein and high energy animal feed. Meanwhile, larvae reared in CM produced the lowest larval biomass (~ 0.07 g/larva) but had the most frass (252.10 g) (p < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the frass composition (organic matter, nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium, and carbon-to-nitrogen ratio) from the three substrates (p > 0.05). Therefore, BSFL presents a promising solution for efficient manure management by converting it into valuable frass and larval biomass with potential applications as plant fertilizer and animal feed ingredient, respectively.

Abstract

This article shows the narrative construction of a social enterprise, Coffee for Peace, against the backdrop of historical conflict, cultural differences, and poverty in Philippine conflict areas. The article hinges on the principle of Communicative Constitution of Organization (CCO), which holds that organizations are communicatively constituted. Within the CCO framework, narrative is employed as a construction device that determines how an organization is constituted because of the ability of narrative to organize events and experience from multiple settings. As org events happen in different interactional contexts, an intertextual analysis was used in making sense of narrative fragments from 45 articles about Coffee for Peace. The coding has shown six SE concepts that communicatively constructed Coffee for Peace, namely innovation, inclusive development, sustainability, training and mentorship, social value creation, and social impact. The article concludes that the communicative events and practices of Coffee for Peace constructed its identity as a social enterprise.
