Our company is a pioneer in the construction of a new agro-industrial sector based on insect breeding. We use local resources to feed our insects and we recycle insect’s frass into organic fertilizer in a circular and zero waste approach.
This short-loop system makes it possible to produce a high quality protein in a sustainable way to support the growth of the aquaculture.
InnovaFeed has developed a deep expertise in breeding Hermetia Illucens , an insect with an exceptional abitity to extract proteins from low-value plant co-products. This endemic, non-pathogenic and non-invasive European insect is one of the species authorised for breeding by the European Commission.
Thanks to a leading-edge zootechnical research combined with a high-performance industrial model, InnovaFeed has set up a virtuous production system that perfectly meets the needs of this species and offer products of high nutritional quality.
InnovaFeed places a lot of importance on animal welfare.
Through our commitments, we ensure the 5 fundamental freedoms of the Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC, 2009)..
Respecting the well-being of our insects is based on three main principles:
Recreate environmental conditions that mimic the natural environment of our insects throughout their life cycle
Take care of the health and physical integrity of our insects by offering them an adapted diet (100% plant-based food) and protecting them from disease and injury
Limit stress factors on our insects by reducing human interactions and adopting methods that minimize the potential for suffering
