Insects as sustainable protein sources in broiler feed
Sustainable protein alternative for broiler feed using insect farming
or
Detail description
Insects such as mealworms and black soldier fly larvae offer a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to resource-intensive feed crops in broiler chicken production. Rich in protein and essential nutrients, they reduce reliance on soya, mitigate deforestation, and utilize organic waste. Insect-based feed supports animal welfare through natural foraging behaviours and lowers ecological impact, though challenges in scaling, hygiene, and consistent production remain.
