Insect protein for livestock does double-duty as organic waste digester
In a bid to transform the food chain into a carbon neutral process, South African company Inseco has developed a range of insect-based proteins. The company uses black soldier flies—both fully grown and in the egg and larval stages—for human and animal food consumption, and as a main ingredient in a range of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The insects are also used as a sustainable palm oil replacement.
The flies divert food production waste from landfill by consuming almost any organic matter that is no longer alive. Fully grown flies are ground up to create EntoMeal, a replacement for traditional animal feed proteins for poultry, pets, livestock, and aquaculture farms. Before being turned into an insect protein, the flies’ manure, called frass, is combined with larval skins to create an organic fertiliser.
