Insects play an important and essential role as a protein-based feed to ensure food security. Insects are not only nutritious, but also healthy, environmentally beneficial, and sustainable. Black soldier fly (BSF) contains high amino acids and fatty acid sources for a variety of species including pets, livestock, and aquaculture. The high content of lauric acid in BSF larvae functions as an anti-bacterial agent that is proven to increase immunity, and as a natural insect protein, BSF has hypoallergenic characteristics.

BSF have an excellent nutritional composition, not only due to their high-quality of amino acids and fatty acids when compared to other sources, but also for their potential to meet sustainable, healthy, accessible, and palatable principles.
Anti-microbial peptides (AMPs) derived from BSF have great potential as alternatives to antibiotics for prophylaxis and treatment of diseases in animals because they have extensive AMPs and a lower tendency to induce resistance.
BSF larvae have high levels of protein and rich in essential amino acids that must be provided in the diet because animals can not make it in the body (endogenously).
The high content of lauric acid in BSF larvae acts as an anti-bacterial & antiinflammatory agent which is proven to improve animal health and immunity. BSF larvae also contain essential fatty acids, including unsaturated fatty acids, such as omega 3 and 6.
As compared with general meat or livestock protein, BSF larvae are an environmentally valuable feed reducing greenhouse gases and saving water, time, and land.
