We know through years of experience that offering our balanced feed carefully compiled to the known nutritional needs of insects leads to good results.
High Feed Conversion: Years of experience and practical results have led to the INSECTUS feed, with a high feed conversion. The INSECTUS feed is tasty and the insects can make good use of the nutrients present in the feed.

Why insect farming?
The main reasons for insect farming is because insect farming is a very promising way of producing high quality protein with low usage of natural resources and a limited impact on the environment. And because the low usage of resources, it can be a profitable way of producing high quality protein. The protein can be used in the feed and food industry.
How to make it profitable?
