1. Meeting the needs of pet parents
, the pet food industry is facing increasing pressure for transformation: modern pet owners require higher-quality nutrition, more natural raw materials, and formulas designed to meet the increasing health concerns of pets. It is estimated that about 470 million dogs and 370 million catsare raised by humans worldwide, and the sustainability of pet food production has become a topic of much concern.
Note: The source of the data is Statista’s global statistics on the number of dogs and cats.
Changing nutritional needs
Modern pet owners require higher nutritional quality and function, and pay more and more attention to the source of raw materials and professional formulas.
Increasingly common sensitivities
Some pets are food sensitive to common protein sources (such as beef and chicken), and the market needs more diverse new protein sources.
Sustainability issues
Traditional protein sources have a greater impact on the environment in terms of land use, water resource consumption and carbon emissions.
2. Insects: A natural solution
. Insects are a natural, sustainable and highly nutritious source of protein. The larvae of the black water fly are the natural food of many animals in nature-pet ancestors also fed on insects in the wild. Today, the black water fly has re-entered the pet food raw material chain: it feeds on organic waste, converts low
-value raw materials into high-nutrient protein and fat, and provides balanced nutrition for pet food. At the same time, it responds to environmental responsibilities.

. Regarding epigenetics: The International Association of Probiotics and Prebiotics Science (ISAPP) officially defined “epigenetics” in 2021 as “inanimate microorganisms that are beneficial to the health of the host.”And/or preparations of its ingredients”. Based on the accumulation of inactivated lactic acid bacteria technology for more than 20 years, Bioyuan has continuously developed post-natal elements as a functional ingredient of pet food. For specific application plans and additions, please consult the technical service team.
4. Product application

7. Feeding recommendations
- Microwave dried insects have a high energy density. It is recommended to feed them in moderation as snacks, and adjust the amount of staple food
- accordingly. It is recommended to try a small amount for the first feeding. To observe the pet’s acceptance
- , please control the amount of a single feeding according to the pet’s size and age.
