Insect Oil

Nutrient-Rich Insect Oil

Insect Oil, is a healthy, high-quality, and low-footprint fat source derived from black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens). As a sustainable alternative to conventional fats, it is a versatile and eco-friendly ingredient for modern animal feed. This oil is particularly beneficial for livestock, aquatic animals, and pets, thanks to its rich content of beneficial fatty acids. It’s highly valued for its high concentration of lauric acid, which provides antimicrobial properties that benefit both human and animal health. By serving as an effective alternative to fish oil, especially in aquaculture, Insect Oil helps reduce pressure on overfished marine ecosystems and promotes a more sustainable food system, as its production requires significantly less land and water.
