Transforming the Future with Sustainable Solutions
Live mealworms
Mealworms play a crucial role in the natural diet of various animals, from fish to wild birds and exotic pets. Surprisingly, they can make up to 80% of farmed fish diets, emerging as a superior alternative to traditional fishmeal. Consider this: approximately 22% of caught fish winds up in fishmeal production, and the EU imports a staggering 22 million tonnes of soymeal annually to meet farm animal protein needs. By harnessing the power of mealworms as a sustainable protein source, we can markedly diminish our reliance on unsustainable protein sources, thus lessening our environmental impact.
Dried mealworms
Our dried mealworms are available in whole form or conveniently ground into a versatile powder. These products find diverse applications in aquaculture, pet foods, pig feed, and beyond. Unlike plant-based meals that can trigger inflammation in fish digestive systems and boast an imbalanced amino acid profile, mealworms offer a comprehensive and customizable amino acid profile, boasting superior digestibility and palatability. Insects like mealworms naturally feature in pig and poultry diets; embracing these natural diets, including insects, fosters optimal gut health and decreases the necessity for antibiotic intervention.
Frass
Apart from our esteemed mealworm products, we proudly yield premium organic fertiliser from mealworm excrement, known as frass. Our frass stands out for being devoid of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and heavy metals. Dry, easy to apply, and free from unpleasant odours, our frass emerges as the prime choice for organic farming and gardening endeavours.
At VBFPro Ltd., we're not just farming insects; we're reshaping the food system for a brighter tomorrow. Join us on this transformative journey towards sustainability, where innovation meets environmental stewardship for a planet we can all be proud of.
