Aquaculture

Natural and sustainable insect protein and oils provide new options for aquaculture

1. Industry background: Aquaculture needs better feed

. According to statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), aquaculture is the fastest growing animal protein production sector in the world and is essential to food security and livelihoods. To support this growth, fish and shrimp need stable, high-quality and environmentally friendly feed.

However, traditional protein sources are facing bottlenecks:

  • fishmeal and fish oil:wild fishery resources have been fully developed, fishmeal production is close to the upper limit, and marine ecological pressure continues to increase;
  • vegetable protein:soybean meal and other plant raw materials are facing restrictions on availability, land and water resource consumption.

Biological sources bring a new solution for insect protein: a natural, circular and sustainable source of raw materials that reduces the pressure on marine and land resources and supports more resilient aquaculture.

 

2. Insects: The natural food of aquatic animals

In nature, many fish and shrimp feed on insects-the larvae of the black water fly are part of their natural food chain. This is exactly why the biogenic black water fly series has become an ideal source of nutrition for a variety of breeding varieties: the nutritional composition is consistent with the natural food nature, the flavor is natural and easy to accept.

 

3. The value of our products

. The characteristics of black water fly skimmed insect powder

indicate
that it has high nutritional value , high crude protein content, balanced amino acid composition
, high digestibility , natural protein source, easy for aquatic animals to digest and absorb
, good palatability , and natural flavor of insects. Compared with fishmeal and soy protein concentrate, it has a high degree of acceptance
. micronutrients contain zinc and iron.And other organic micronutrients
are sustainably made from larvae farmed from organic waste, with a low environmental footprint

 

. The characteristics of black water fly insect oil

indicate
that it has high energy density and high content of saturated fatty acids. It is rich in lauric acid and other medium-chain fatty
acids. It is highly digestible and has a medium-chain triglyceride structure, high digestion and absorption efficiency
, flexible formula , and can partially or completely replace the feed.Fish oil and other traditional fats
have stable quality and controlled peroxide value

 

. Description of the characteristics of black water fly pulp
, liquid protein source , made by enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation of fresh larvae, with high acid-soluble protein content
and natural slight acid Suitable for water cultivation and insect cultivation scenarios,
easy to use, can be directly mixed or splashed in ponds, before planting seedlings 2-3 

 

Tianpeishui 4. Product application

insect powder:used in aquatic feed formula to provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to fishmeal and soy protein: It can partially replace fishmeal,It is used as compound feed for seawater fish, freshwater fish, shrimp and crabs and other species.

Insect oil:Used to supplement the fat of aquatic feed, it can partially or completely replace fish oil and other traditional fats in feed, and provide a stable source of energy for feed.

Insect pulp:Used in the seedling stage: hydroponic insects (2 kg/mu) are cultivated before the seedling is planted. In the seedling stage, 5-10% of the feed is replaced by the mixture, and adult fish and shrimp are added according to 5-15% of the feed per meal.
