Shrimp sector to benefit from insect-based feed
InnovaFeed are taking on the challenge of producing insect ingredients at large scale.
Value is created for shrimp farmers through growth performance, health and sustainability.
Inclusion of the shrimp feed NovaGain in the diet of shrimp dramatically improves their FCR and SGR, a considerable -28 percent and +25 percent respectively.
Are you interested to use insect based shrimp feed? ?

While we tend to focus on the insect protein, I think the insect oil is potentially even more interesting. It has high levels of medium chain triglycerides including lauric acid which are both highly bioavailable and known to have immunosupportive and anti-microbial properties.

What is the present cost of insect protein ?

As factories are just start to industrialize this product is there already a established market price to it? Or is it still that niche that it is not commercially available?

I believe http://www.ynsect.com/en/products/for-feed/ are producing insect already in France and they are building a new larger facility to boost production. Find a link to them on the ShrimpStar LinkedIn page.

@EricDeMuylder to my knowledge the prices vary a lot, in Europe the prices seem to be around 2+ Euro/kg, it's a bit less in Asia. Have you tested insect proteins in your system?
