Advantages & innovations

The company breeds food insects in halls specially built for this purpose. This ensures sterile, fungus-free and parasite-free conditions. The insects are fed with a diet rich in protein and microelements. As a result, animals feeding on insects from breeding have no problems with digestion. Insects are also fed with vegetables and fruits from organic farming. Insects are caught and segregated manually, which ensures no mechanical damage.
