We are excited to announce a new batch of premium dried black soldier fly larvae is now available for animal feed manufacturers and agricultural producers across North America and Australia. These nutrient-rich larvae offer a sustainable alternative to traditional protein sources like fishmeal and soybean meal, supporting healthier livestock while reducing environmental impact. Our production facility ensures consistent quality with strict adherence to international safety standards.
Why Sustainable Protein Matters Now
The global protein deficit in conventional feed ingredients has become increasingly pressing. Soybean meal and fishmeal—staples in livestock and aquaculture diets—contribute to deforestation and face volatile pricing, with fishmeal prices exceeding $1,600 per metric ton in 2023 . Additionally, traditional feed production consumes substantial land and water resources .
Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) present a sustainable solution by converting organic waste into high-value protein. This aligns with circular economy principles and meets evolving regulatory standards, such as the EU's approval of insect protein in poultry and pig feed and the AAFCO's approval for poultry feed in the United States . With Australia also moving toward approving insect-based livestock feed by 2025, demand is poised to grow significantly .
Product Specifications & Quality Assurance
Our dried black soldier fly larvae are processed to preserve maximum nutritional value. Below are key specifications:
- Nutritional Profile: Crude protein (44-48%), crude fat (31-35%), and a balanced amino acid profile essential for animal growth .
- Processing: Gently dried without preservatives or additives. The larvae are whole, light brown, and measure 20-25 mm on average .
- Packaging & Shelf Life: Customizable packaging (5-10 kg/bag) with a shelf life of up to 24 months under proper storage conditions .
- Safety: Each batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming the absence of pathogens and heavy metals.
Applications in Animal Feed Formulations
1. Poultry Feed
Dried BSFL are an excellent supplement for chickens, ducks, and other poultry. Studies indicate that incorporating BSFL into poultry diets can enhance egg production and improve gut health due to natural antimicrobial compounds like lauric acid . They serve as a high-value treat or a complementary protein source in feed formulations.
2. Aquaculture Feed
For fish and shrimp farms, our larvae provide a viable fishmeal replacement. Trials in Vietnamese shrimp farms showed BSFL-based feed improved growth rates by 18% compared to traditional fishmeal-based diets . The balanced amino acid profile supports aquatic species' development.
3. Livestock and Specialty Feeds
Swine, cattle, and even pets (e.g., reptiles, birds) benefit from the high protein and fat content. BSFL can be integrated into complete feeds or used as a supplemental ingredient to enhance palatability and nutrition .

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does dried BSFL compare to fishmeal in terms of protein content?
A: Dried BSFL typically contains 44-48% protein, comparable to many fishmeals. However, BSFL offer additional sustainability advantages, such as a 98% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to cattle farming per kilogram of protein produced .
Q: Are there restrictions on using insect meal in animal feed in North America or Australia?
A: In the U.S., AAFCO has approved BSFL for poultry feed. Australia is expected to approve insect-based livestock feed by 2025, creating a significant near-term opportunity for early adopters .
