A group of researchers who firmly believe that microorganisms and insects can change the feed industry
BioSource’s R&D team is a group of people who believe that “microorganisms and insects can change the feed industry.”
As early as 1998, when the founder, Dr. Hu Wenfeng, was still teaching at South China Agricultural University, he began basic research on acidifiers and micro-ecological preparations. Today, more than 20 years later, this team has expanded to a full-time R&D team of 3 doctors, 7 masters, and 5 undergraduates, and has cooperated with the Applied Microbiology Laboratory of the School of Food of South China Agricultural University, the School of Animal Sciences, the School of Life Sciences of Sun Yat-sen University, the Institute of Animal Sciences of Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shenzhen University and other scientific researchThe unit maintains long-term cooperation.
We study two technical routes:microbial fermentationandresource insect farming. The former started with the two packs of French inactivated lactic acid bacteria granules in 1998, and it took 25 years to do it; the latter started with the black water fly treatment of urban organic waste in 2014, and it has been ten years since.
Why are microorganisms and why insects?
Epigenetic element (inactivated lactic acid bacteria)-This concept was only officially named by the International Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics Science (ISAPP) in 2021. Bioyuan made it the first feed additive “Probiotics” (now called probiotics) as early as 2007. We believe that the power of microorganisms does not have to be alive to be exerted-through high cell density fermentation and precise inactivation, and the complete preservation of bacterial metabolites, a stable, safe, high temperature resistant and storage-resistant micro-ecological solution can be obtained.
Black soldier Fly (Black Soldier Fly, Hermetia illucens)——This saprophytic insect can convert organic waste into high-value insect protein and fat. It is originally a natural food for fish, birds, and reptiles in nature, but it has now been reintroduced into the feed chain as a sustainable alternative to fishmeal, soybean meal, and palm kernel oil. In 2017, the European Union approved insect protein for aquatic feed, and Biologics realized the export of dried black water fly insects to the United States in the same year-the first time in the country.
Controlled and traceable R&D and production system
R&D strength
- Shenzhen R&D laboratory: Equipped with high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC), atomic absorption spectrometer, gas chromatograph (GC), fluorescence quantitative PCR, freeze dryer, CO 培养 incubator, anaerobic incubator, etc., with a total investment of more than 400Ten thousand yuan. The laboratory undertakes the tasks of strain screening, fermentation process optimization, inactivation process research, routine product testing and batch quality control.
Fermentation base
Shandong Fermentation Base is equipped with three 50-ton fermentation tanks to support the large-scale production of microbial fermentation raw materials and strains. Biogen innovated high-cell density fermentation technology and established a ton-level automated production line.
Insect breeding bases
have successively established 5-6 black water fly breeding bases in China (Loudi, Hunan, Binyang, Guangxi, Nanning, Guangxi, Jiujiang, Jiangxi, Zunyi, Guizhou, and Lijiang, Yunnan) and overseas subsidiaries in Malaysia, with a breeding area of about 30,000 square meters to achieve “self-breeding, self-cultivation, self-production, and self-sales”.Closed loop.
The technical system of the two core technologies
post-genomics (inactivated lactic acid bacteria)
From the isolation, purification, and identification of lactic acid bacteria, to the optimization of culture conditions, inactivation processes, formulation design, and finally to livestock and poultry farming applications — BioSource has walked this path for 25 years. High cell-density fermentation technology, microcapsule coating technology, and inactivation process parameters constitute the moat of this technological line.
Breeding and large-scale breeding technology of black water fly
Since 2014, Bioyuan has presided over and participated in a number of government scientific research projects and established a germplasm resource bank for black water fly. In 2025, the technology for the creation of germplasm resources, functional insect protein, and long-distance transportation of eggs and larvae of resistant black water flies will be patented in China and the United States respectively. We have continuously recorded and optimized the life cycle, breeding habits, nutritional needs, and processing technology of the black water fly for ten years.
