The importance of insects as food supplements

 

Many of those insects are edible and provide a solid source of protein. This is where everyone goes for insect farming and actually grows their own insects at home for a fraction of the cost it takes to raise cattle, pork, or poultry.

Grasshoppers, black soldier flies, common housefly larvae, silkworms, and yellow mealworms are among the most promising species for industrial feed production. And termites are also viable, but to a lesser extent.

Farming these insects could promote befliester manure and organic waste management while also providing nutritious feed ingredients to pets and livestock. Aside from this, it has the best nutritional composition and digestibility. Insects are also selected for ease of rearing by the producer.

The insects used as animal fodder include a wide range of suitable insects, e.g. black sol-dier fly larvae, house fly maggots, mealworms, silkworms, and locust grasshoppers and crickets. Target livestock, mainly fish, poultry, and pigs, are considered to have the most potential for being fed by BSFs.

Insects are the best sources of food and feed, which aims to help raise the profile of insect sources of food and feed in national and international ways. Insects are everywhere, and they reproduce quickly, so they have high growth and feed conversion rates. Almost 1 million of the 1.4 million described animal species on earth are insects, and millions more are believed to exist.

Taxxon is a company with the aim of promoting insect breading in the European and global markets. The sector of insects as food and feed is an emerging agriculture sector with a lot of potential to lower environmental impact. In the next decades, insects as feedstock for aquaculture and poultry feed are likely to become more prevalent within the next decade. They are healthy, nutritious alternatives to mainstream staples such as chicken, pork, beef, and even fish.
