Insects as Feed

• Insects = Mini-livestock = rearing animals

• Raw materials for feeds:• Fish• Poultry• Pigs

• Pet-food

Page 10: Insects as sustainable feed ingredients - ASPA 2017 Laura_ Insects... · Insects as sustainable feed ingredients Laura Gasco laura.gasco@unito.it Commissione ASPA Fonti proteiche

EU produce only the 30% of the proteins for animalfeed (70% reliance from Brazil, Argentina, USA)

Animal feeds

2011: The EU Parliament adopted a resolution to address the EU’s protein deficit,stating that urgent action is needed to replace imported protein crops withalternative and additional European sources

26 mt = by-products derived fromvegetable oil production (mainly SBM)

Trend towards an increase of this deficit

• high level of proteins (up to 70% DM)• rich in EAA (comparable to FM, better than SBM)• high energy (fat: 16,5 - 44% DM) (similar to veg – no PUFA)• micronutrients

OUR OCEAN IMPACT OUR CARBON IMPACT OUR LANDFILL IMPACT

Where MagMeal™ is substituted for

fishmeal, every tonne used allows three

tonnes of fish to remain in our

oceans. At full capacity our Philippi

factory will produce enough MagMeal™

to substitute for 15 million wild caughtfish per year

Fishmeal is a carbon intensive feed

ingredient. The distance between the

trawlers that ply the Antarctic seas to

capture the fish, to its eventual point of

use in the USA, Europe and Asia is

typically 10,000 kilometers.

MagMeal™ can be made where it is

needed and has an environmental cost

saving of $2,000 per tonne comparedto its Fishmeal alternative

OUR IMPACTOur business was created with a vision to recycle waste

nutrients and make protein at point of need, using local

waste at a global scale. Our mission is to reinvent our

unsustainable use of fishmeal and deliver naturalalternative ingredients that can start saving our seas.

The waste management chain is a

growing problem in many cities. Our new

standard 250 tonne per day waste bio

conversion factories will have a material

impact on local landfill sites. Each plant

will divert over 90,000 tonnes a year of

organic waste from stretched landfill

operations. We upcycle the nutrients in

organic food waste from our cities into

feed for growing larvae. Our industrial

facilities are typically much nearer cites,

cutting down transport costs. Reducing

organics to landfill will help stop the

degradation of aquifers and watertables through inevitable landfill leachate.

Insektenproteine auf der Basis von Fliegenlarven

sind hochproteinreich und erfüllen die

ernährungsphysiologischen Ansprüche karnivorer

(räuberischer) Fischarten, wie sie die meisten der

geschätzten Speisefische (Lachse, Steinbutt,

Forellen, Grouper, Snapper, Wolfsbarsch, Dorade,

Adlerfisch, Kabeljau etc.) darstellen. Auch für die

Geflügelzucht und die Schweinemast sind

Insektenproteine sehr gut geeignet. Die

stoffwechselphysiologische Eignung eines solchen

Proteins für Geflügel und Schweine steht außer

Frage. Auch für Vögel, Reptilien, Hunde und

Katzen sind diese Eiweiße, die reich an

essentiellen Aminosäuren sind, bestens geeignet.

Somit stellt ein Futtermittel auf der Basis von

Insektenlarven eine geradezu optimale Alternative

zum Fischmehl dar.

Take home message• Insect meals = good alternative to conventional protein sources in feeds and can

provide an important contribution to the sustainable development of livestockindustry

• De-fattening process: increase meal protein content and increase shelf life• Oils: no EPA - DHA• Oils: composition specie specific

• TM: oleic & linoleic acids• HI: lauric acid• MD: palmitic, oleic & linoleic acids

• Oils: for animal feed (energy)• Biodisel• Other purposes (antimicrobial properties)

• Good protein content & AA profile

• High lipid (fat) content: influence on product quality & sensory properties

• Sustainability = use of waste – by-products as rearing substrate (low/no cost)
