Roberts	2022/03/01	2023/11/30		MRC	50%	Achieving mass has been a major challenge, whereas the poultry trial preparations are on schedule; getting over 300kg of dried BSFL has been the major setback. Since the project will end in March 2023, it is proposed that the project implementation plans moved till November 2023 to establish; 1. A BSFL mass production facility 2. Allow for funding to be prioritized for output 2 3. Allow for an extension to the project implementation plan 4. Postponed poultry trials to run in 2024 when there is mass available for testing.
