Funkcjonalność

Functional
nutrition

We create functional feed components and fertilizers that address current challenges in animal and plant nutrition and farming, as well as market trends shaping the growth of our partners.

Business advantages
for our clients

HiProMine’s functional components reduce treatment costs, improve animal production efficiency, and lower expenses in feed and pet food formulations. Incorporating our components into feed recipes enables further optimization, including cost efficiency. The benefits they provide to animals and their owners enhance the attractiveness of feed and pet food producers’ portfolios, translating directly into business growth.

Functional nutrition with a true impact on health

We are a producer of functional components for feed and pet food, as well as high-quality organic fertilizers. Our sustainable solutions focus not only on feeding, but on truly nourishing animals and plants. They support health, condition, and welfare, and, in case of livestock, they have a measurable impact on production performance. Our solutions drive innovative and sustainable growth in agriculture, pet food, and aquaculture.

Founding of HiProMine – the first company in Poland to develop industrial-scale breeding of insects for animal nutrition.

Initial work involved testing various insect species. Hermetia illucens was a conscious choice as the species with the highest potential for farming and use in animal feed.

Development of proprietary, innovative technology for insect processing – from breeding stocks to ready-to-use components for feed, pet food, and fertilizers.

Expansion into international sales.

Collaboration began with brands that had already recognized the potential of using our components in their products.

Debut on the NewConnect stock exchange and the opening of the Genetics Center in Robakowo – a unique facility dedicated to the selection and control of Hermetia illucens breeding lines, ensuring the expected efficiency of farming.

Start of construction of the largest insect-based production facility in Europe

Located in Karkoszów, Krzeszyce municipality – a strategic location enabling efficient logistics to European feed, pet food, and fertilizer producers.

Launch of the Karkoszów facility with a production capacity of up to 60,000 tons annually, certified with GMP+ and ISO 22000.

Innovative production of insect-based feed components

01.

Production begins with carefully selected adult insects that form stable reproductive colonies. The entire process takes place under conditions ensuring high biosecurity, veterinary supervision, and full genetic control.

02.

In controlled conditions, young forms develop from the laid eggs. Some proceed to further production stages, while others maintain the continuity of the breeding cycle.

03.

This is the phase of intensive development. High biological efficiency allows for maximum farming performance while conserving resources. Nutrition is based exclusively on plant-based mixtures, free from GMOs and antibiotics.

04.

Our production cycle follows two paths:
One production line is dedicated to fresh components — HiProLarvae and HiProMeat, available in chilled or frozen form.
The other line produces HiProDried Larvae, HiProMeal (protein meal), HiProOil (fat), and — in a separate process — Umami Boost.
As part of full raw material utilization, the process also yields HiProFrass — an organic fertilizer fraction — and HiProSoil, a ready-to-use organic fertilizer for plant nutrition.
