BSF Protein

Our BSF protein is a superior alternative to traditional animal feed proteins, offering a sustainable, nutrient-rich option for livestock and aquaculture.

Benefits High Protein Content, Eco-Friendly, Cost-Effective

Product Specifications Detailed info about protein content, nutritional values, packaging options

How it works

Process Explanation Our process begins with collecting food waste, which is then fed to BSF larvae. The larvae convert the waste into protein, which is harvested, processed, and packaged as animal feed.

Research & Development

Innovation

Advancements in Breeding and Genetics

Research found in the field of reproduction and heredity regarding Bioscal pheromone is altering the perception of Black soldier fly’s rearing process. Some attempts by the scientist and the horticulturist have been made to single out and standardize some of these genetic modifiers for such qualities as growth rates, nutritive value, and resilience to production volatility. The developments discovered in the field provide a higher degree of impactful management of BSF farming.

Nutritional Optimization for Animal Feed

Today’s research is focusing on increasing the nutritional value of the BSF larvae in view of using them in feeding animals. Some of these areas of study are; effects of different feeding practices on the protein and fat content of larvae and the micronutrient content. This research is necessary for an identification of healthy and cheap possible feed sources for large meat and fish farming businesses.

Waste Management and Bioconversion Efficiency

Researches have been carried out on the possibility of using the BSF larvae as bio-converters in transforming wastes into more valuable products. The latter include enhancements in the claims for waste treatment and the identification of a range of suitable organic waste input. Such research is consequential in making the necessary changes in the sector by improving the utility of wastes and backing circular economy systems.

Environmental Impact Assessments

Current research investigations include the Lifecycle Assessment that yields several variables to do with the carbon footprint of BSF farming systems, water consumption, and ecology. Likewise, another is the Assessment of yield variables concerning the farming systems, biodiversity, water use, and ecology of BSF. These assessments are what can assist in ensuring that farming that utilizes BSF does not turn out to be a negative influence on the environment.

Development of New BSF-based Products

By-products of BSF can be utilized in biodegradable polymers such as bioplastics and can even be used to make renewable energy sources. Moreover, research is going on in reference to the conversion of chitin, lipids, and other products from BSF for the development of other sustainable related industries.
