Theoretically yes, but economically it’s not a justified solution. Protein and fats from Hermetia illucens offer high nutritional and functional value, but fully replacing traditional sources (e.g. soy or fishmeal) is not cost-effective. In the EU, insect products cannot be used for ruminants, but their inclusion in pig and fish feeds or livestock diets brings clear health benefits. Our functional feed component – Umami Boost – dedicated to piglet nutrition, delivers proven benefits – not only supporting animal health, but also improving production outcomes, facilitating feed formulation, and potentially reducing recipe costs.
