Feeding the world – with insects!
Insects, such as mealworms, will play an important role in the future for feeding a growing world population: We produce sustainable insect-protein from side streams!
sustainable
Insects can revalue low-quality residues – without using much water, energy, and space
healthy
Animal proteins and fats in high purity and quality – ideal as feed for livestock and pets.
regional
A local network of production and processing means short transport routes and the best quality control

Monitoring
Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of insect rearing using imaging spectroscopy
enables us to accurately track
- growth parameters
- bio-chemical composition of larvae and insect products
- diseases and impurities
Fütterung
Technique for supplying wet feed, including micronutrients and supplements through a squeezable gel:
This enables targeted feeding of larvae with high cost efficiency.
Feeding
Customized Insects
Combined, these two technologies enable us to optimize insect larvae for the specific needs of our customers.
For example, the amino acid or lipide profile can be adjusted. In addition, hormones or vitamins can be enriched in mealworms using special processes.

Why mealworms?
Insects are the most sustainable natural source of animal protein. In comparison with beef, the differences become clear:
12x less feed consumption
2500x less water usage
100x less greenhouse gases
10x less space
100x faster growth
200x less land-usage
