Catch this fish-tastic article in Aquafeed.com about a groundbreaking study from Aller Aqua! Highlight of the study: Just a small amount of ProteinX insect meal instead of soy protein concentrate can improve salmon yield, fillet quality, and taste—plus boost farmers’ bottom line. An easy-to-use Profits Calculator shows exactly what benefits salmon farmers can net. The study showed improvements of 9.6% in body weight and 12.5% in head-on/gutted fish when fed with with ProteinX-based feed. And it was a thumbs up from tasters too: two-thirds of a sensory panel preferred salmon fed a ProteinX-based diet. There’s everything to gain with this turnkey solution!

🐾🌿 Celebrating natural diets: Insights from our poll! 🌿🐾 The results are in from the poll we shared recently, and we want to thank everyone for participating! A few weeks ago, we asked what's a common natural food for felines in the wild. The correct answer, as many of you guessed, is both C) Animals (like rodents, birds, or fish) and A) Insects! Out of 89 participants, 44% chose animals and 51% opted for insects. 🐈Cats are obligate carnivores, natural hunters that thrive on meat, fish, or other animal products for healthy functioning. 🐈Interestingly, cats also chase and enjoy eating insects, a behavior rooted in their natural instincts. 🐈Insects not only provide amusement for your cat, but also are highly nutritious. In the wild, cats and dogs sometimes snack on insects, it's a natural part of their diet! 😽🐶 #NaturalDiets #PetHealth #AnimalBehavior #InsectNutrition #WildlifeEducation

Don't miss out on these interesting insights from Marcel Dicke, Professor of Entomology at Wageningen University & Research and elected member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW)! Marcel suggests black soldier fly ingredients as a sustainable alternative to imported soy, especially as European tariffs on American soybeans could make them significantly more expensive. 🐜 The larvae of the black soldier fly are not only nutritious but also a favourite food of chickens and pigs! 🐔🐖 The benefits? Circular agriculture powered by locally produced insect ingredients. Science shows that insect protein can partially replace soy in livestock diets. Additionally, high-quality insect oil, such as Protix's LipidX, can substitute soybean oil in animal feed. A study found that replacing 1% of soybean oil with LipidX in broiler diets resulted in similar growth performance, welfare, and meat quality, highlighting its potential as an environmentally friendly feed ingredient. In the Netherlands, pioneers are already leading the way in this field. However, scaling up requires collaborate investments in research, innovation, financial, and political support. Let's embrace insect-based feed and leap toward a more sustainable future now! 💪🌍 Dutch not your thing?

It was our privilege to host Secretary General of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Sandor Gaastra and Brigit van Dijk - van de Reijt from Brabantse Ontwikkelings Maatschappij (BOM) at our factory. Thank you for the opportunity to highlight our sector’s strong sustainability and circularity credentials. It was great to discuss the importance of unlocking the potential of the insect sector. It is time to; 👉 reduce food waste through insect feed, starting with application in pet food; 👉 reduce dependence on proteins from outside the EU through the use of insect proteins produced in the EU; 👉 support the insect sector in the Netherlands and the EU to help achieve its objectives;  👉 encourage healthy soil and plant growth through the recognition of insect frass as a fertiliser under Regulation (EU) 2019/1009.      We seek strong partnerships with forward-thinking stakeholders and partners to embark on this exciting journey with us. Together, we are shaping the future of food and paving the way for a more sustainable world. 🌏
