Since 2023, we’ve been supplementing our free-range chickens’ diet with Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) at our Kenyan facility 🐔🪰 The outcome? A thriving flock that’s healthier and more productive than ever. BSFL is a high-quality protein source that: 🐔 Boosts growth rates 🐔 Increases egg production and size 🐔 Encourages natural scavenging (when fed as live larvae) 🐔 Improves overall poultry health and welfare Have you tried incorporating BSFL into your poultry feed?

Modern agriculture’s greatest challenge is feeding a growing population without depleting vital resources 🌱♻️ Fertilisers play a critical role, but their impact depends on the type we choose. On the one hand, chemical fertilisers: ❌ Artificially manufactured substances ❌ Harmful to the environment ❌ Contribute to soil degradation ❌ Cause water pollution through runoff ❌ Disrupt microbial communities On the other hand, Black Soldier Fly Frass: ✅ A natural, organic soil amendment ✅ Sustainable and environmentally friendly ✅ Packed with essential nutrients ✅ Enhances soil health, water retention, and plant growth ✅ Promotes beneficial microbial activity Our future depends on the choices we make today. It’s time to embrace sustainability. It’s time to choose insects 🪰 — 🪰 Follow Flybox® to learn about insect waste management™.
