Product Introduction
- Basic Information: The easily digestible protein powder is made from black soldier fly larvae, with a shelf life of 12 months. It needs to be stored in a dry, cool, ventilated place to prevent rats and insect pests.
- Ingredients and Value: Moisture 8%, crude protein 56%, crude fat 7%, crude fiber 10%, ash 6%, energy 350Cal/100g. It is an ideal source of digestible amino acids for fish and poultry. The amino acid composition is adapted to the needs of animals, and the production is environmentally friendly and sustainable, which has more advantages than poultry by-products and fish meal.
- use: Used in aquaculture to meet the nutritional needs of fish and improve feed utilization; used in poultry feed to promote poultry development, improve egg production rate and egg quality; used in pet food, can be added to dog food or made into snacks, providing new options for allergic pets.
1. Basic information related issues
- What is Black Soldier Fly Defatted Insect Powder?
Black soldier fly defatted insect powder is a powdered product obtained by drying and grinding the black soldier fly larvae and then removing the fat through physical or chemical methods. - What does Black Soldier Fly Defatted Insect Powder look and smell like?
It is usually a light yellow to dark brown powder with a certain fishy smell, but the fishy smell may be slightly lighter than that of undefatted insect powder.
2. Nutritional Information
- What are the main nutrients of black soldier fly defatted insect powder?
The main nutrients include: protein. After defatting, the crude protein content of black soldier fly meal can be as high as about 54.40%, and the amino acid composition is balanced, similar to soybean meal and fish meal; fat. After defatting, the fat content is significantly reduced, generally around 11.15%; minerals and vitamins, rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron and B vitamins. - What are the advantages of black soldier fly defatted insect meal compared with fish meal and soybean meal?
The advantages are: in terms of resource sustainability, black soldier flies reproduce rapidly and have a large biomass. They can be farmed using organic waste, and their source is wide and sustainable, unlike fish meal which relies on ocean fishing and is limited by resources. In terms of nutritional balance, the amino acid composition is similar to that of fish meal, and it can provide the essential amino acids needed for animal growth, and it also contains some special biologically active substances. From an environmentally friendly perspective, farming black soldier flies can effectively process organic waste and reduce environmental pollution. Their feces can also be used as high-quality organic fertilizer to achieve resource recycling.
3. Application field related issues
- What are the applications of black soldier fly defatted insect powder in animal feed?
In aquaculture, it can replace part of fish meal in the feed of aquatic animals such as river crabs and fish. It can significantly increase the weight gain rate and specific growth rate of young crabs, and improve the antioxidant level of the hepatopancreas of young crabs. In livestock and poultry farming, adding an appropriate amount of black soldier fly defatted insect powder to the laying hen feed can increase the egg production rate and egg production, reduce the feed-to-egg ratio and the rate of broken eggs, and improve the yolk color and the content of nutrients in the yolk. - What other application prospects does black soldier fly defatted insect powder have?
It also has potential application value in the fields of pet food, insect protein health products, etc. As people's understanding of insect protein increases and technology develops, its scope of application may be further expanded.
