Excess Hospital Burden Among Young People in Contact With Homelessness Services in South Australia: A Prospective Linked Data Study.

Purpose: Youth homelessness remains an ongoing public health issue worldwide. We aimed to describe the burden of emergency department (ED) presentations and hospitalizations among a South Australian population of young people in contact with specialist homelessness services (SHS).

Methods: This whole-of-population study used de-identified, linked administrative data from the Better Evidence Better Outcomes Linked Data (BEBOLD) platform on all individuals born between 1996 and 1998 (N = 57,509).

Sustainable production of housefly (Musca domestica) larvae as a protein-rich feed ingredient by utilizing cattle manure.

The common housefly, Musca domestica, is a considerable component of nutrient recycling in the environment. Use of housefly larvae to biodegrade manure presents an opportunity to reduce waste disposal while the rapidly assimilated insect biomass can also be used as a protein rich animal feed. In this study, we examine the biodegradation of dairy cattle manure using housefly larvae, and the nutritional value of the resulting larva meal as a feed ingredient.
