Sustainable Insect Protein Solutions
Explore key insights about our eco-friendly insect proteins, designed to enhance aquafeed sustainability effectively.
What makes fermented insect protein a superior alternative to fishmeal and soymeal?
Fishmeal relies on wild fish stocks and soymeal drives deforestation and heavy land use. Insects are a sustainable alternative, but raw insect protein has one drawback: chitin, a tough fiber in the insect exoskeleton that reduces digestibility. Through fermentation, FEESH breaks down chitin and releases bioactive compounds, making the protein easier to absorb while boosting immunity and gut health. The result is a feed ingredient that is not only sustainable but also more effective for fish growth and resilience than fishmeal, soymeal, or unfermented insect protein.
How does FEESH source its insect protein sustainably?
FEESH partners with certified Black Soldier Fly producers who rear insects on organic side-streams such as food and agricultural by-products. This upcycling process turns low-value waste into high-quality protein, reducing pressure on wild fish stocks and farmland. By sourcing locally where possible and adding value through fermentation, FEESH ensures a sustainable, traceable, and scalable supply of insect protein for aquafeed.
Can insect protein be integrated into existing aquafeed formulations?
Yes. With FEESH’s fermentation technology, insect meal can be included at higher levels than unprocessed insect protein. By breaking down chitin and improving digestibility, our solution makes it easy to replace more fishmeal and soymeal while supporting strong growth and feed efficiency.
What benefits does insect protein offer to aquaculture farms?
Insect protein provides a sustainable, high-quality alternative to fishmeal and soymeal. It delivers a balanced amino acid profile, improves feed security through local production, and reduces dependence on overfished marine stocks and imported crops. With FEESH’s fermentation technology, insect protein also becomes more digestible, boosting fish growth, gut health, and disease resilience helping farms lower feed costs and reduce antibiotic use.
