Feedstock Mapping
Every ingredient is characterized for macro and micronutrients, fiber, and inhibitory compounds.
- Rapid NIR spectroscopy for protein, fat, and moisture
- Mycotoxin and heavy metal screening
- Seasonal trend library for key waste streams
Precision Feed Science
Nutrition for BSFL
Our larvae diets are engineered to maximize protein deposition, beneficial lipids, and bioactive compounds. Feedstock blends are tuned by nutrient analytics, microbial monitoring, and growth performance modeling.
Data-Informed • Welfare-Focused • Consistent
Formulation Pillars
Designing the Most Nutritious Larvae
Diet Architecture
Blends are created to hit target amino acid ratios, energy density, and chitin thresholds.
- Dynamic carbon-to-nitrogen balancing models
- Functional additives (yeasts, microbes, enzymes)
- Larvae welfare checks for density & behavior
Performance Analytics
Every batch is benchmarked against growth rates, conversion, and larvae health KPIs.
- Automated weight gain logging by tray
- AI-assisted anomaly detection on environmental data
- Feedback loop to refine diet SKU-specific formulations
Feedstock Matrix
Curated Ingredients for Larval Success
We blend pre-consumer produce, spent grains, brewery yeast, pre-treated proteins, and fiber carriers to build a diet that is energy-dense yet digestible. Each ingredient class is paired to deliver complementary nutrients while maintaining consistent moisture and texture profiles for larvae feeding behavior.
| Ingredient Class | Role in Diet | Inclusion Range |
|---|---|---|
| Vegetable & Fruit Residues | Carbohydrate energy, moisture regulation, vitamin complexes | 25–40% |
| Spent Grains & Bakery | Protein backbone, amino acid diversity, fiber structure | 20–35% |
| Fermentation By-Products | Live microbes, B-vitamins, lauric acid precursors | 10–18% |
| Oilseed Press Cakes | Essential fatty acids, mineral enrichment | 8–15% |
| Fiber & Bulking Agents | Chitin balance, gut motility, tray aeration | 5–10% |
Laboratory & Monitoring
Data Infrastructure Behind the Diet
Nutrient Analytics
Our onsite lab runs proximate analysis, fatty acid profiles, and amino acid chromatography every batch.
- Weekly trend reports to adjust blending ratios
- Customizable nutrient targets by customer specification
- Integrated with ERP for automatic COA generation
Microbial Ecology
We actively manage beneficial microbes that support larvae digestion and frass biosphere development.
- DNA-based microbial fingerprinting
- Inoculation strategies for Bacillus, Lactobacillus, and yeast consortia
- Monitoring of metabolites for early warning signals
Operational Practices
Maintaining Larvae Health & Consistency
Diet alone does not guarantee outcomes; we pair nutrition with stewardship practices that protect larvae welfare. Our technicians track behavior, density, and moisture to ensure feed is accessible and digestible across the growth window.
Dynamic feeding schedule responsive to appetite curve data
Moisture control via misting, biochar amendments, and airflow tuning
Larvae health scoring that flags stress signals (clumping, lethargy, off-odors)
Emergency SOPs for temperature excursions or feedstock anomalies
