We are often asked, ‘What would an insect farm look like?’ Well, here is a sneak peek at what’s inside a 25t/day black soldier fly farm. Our complete insect farm is modular, scalable and can be configured to suit the customer’s requirements. The design approach focuses on creating the optimum environment and conditions for the insect’s biology and behaviour with our entomology and engineering teams working hand-in-hand to ensure our customers obtain efficient insect protein production and the best possible solution for their needs. We plan, design and build large-scale insect farms worldwide.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Go Scotland! This consultation will hopefully pave the way for insect protein to be used in poultry and pig feed, reducing agriculture's carbon footprint and contributing to the UK's target of a 68% reduction in emissions by 2030. We look forward to England and Wales publishing their own consultations on using insect protein in the new year and fully support the legislation changes expected to follow shortly after. https://lnkd.in/e6axffwm #insectprotein #blacksoldierfly #insectfarming

The life cycle of the black soldier fly consists of four main stages: egg, larvae, pupae, and adult fly. The process begins when adult female flies lay eggs in decaying organic matter, such as compost heaps, manure, or food waste. Each female can lay hundreds of eggs during her lifespan, typically depositing them in clusters. Upon hatching, the larvae emerge as small and creamy-white in colour and have voracious appetites. They feed ravenously on organic material, breaking it down through microbial action and their own digestive enzymes. This feeding behaviour not only facilitates the decomposition process but also allows the larvae to accumulate nutrients essential for their growth and development. As the larvae mature, they undergo several moults, shedding their exoskeletons to accommodate their increasing size. This growth phase lasts approximately two weeks, after which the larvae enter the pupal stage. During pupation, the larvae cease feeding and become immobile as they undergo metamorphosis. Within a few days, the pupae transform into adult flies, emerging from their pupal cases, ready to reproduce and continue the life cycle. Black soldier fly are incredibly efficient at converting organic waste including food waste and agricultural byproducts into high-quality protein.

The black soldier fly is nature’s apex recycler – a tiny yet robust insect perfectly designed to rapidly turn any organic waste into valuable protein. It’s for this reason black soldier fly is currently the most widely farmed insect species worldwide. 'Why farm black soldier fly?' is the first article in our new series of FAQs.
