Modern insect breeding with SCHAUER and VDL

• The demand for alternative protein sources is one of the great challenges of the future in livestock farming.
• Using insects for protein production, this problem can be counteracted in the long term.
• Innovative systems for black soldier fly (BSF) and mealworm production
• Integrated systems - from kitchen to handling and air conditioning
• Fully automated systems
• Sustainable production by using residues from industry and food trade
• Individual project planning of the feeding system and component preparation
• Tank with shredder pump for comminution of residues from industry and food trade
• Flexible dry matter content and temperature control

Sustainable: To obtain 1 kg of protein the following resources are needed:

• Insect: Water 2300 l Land: 18 m² CO2: 14 kg CO2 Equivalents
• Chicken: Water 34 000 l Land 52 m² CO2: 36 kg CO2 Equivalents

Hypoallergenic:

• Amount of protein in the basic product:
• 72% in insect meal
• 64% in chicken meal

Ethical: 

A high-quality source of palatable animal protein. Utilized residual streams. 
Dog - Chicken - Pig - Fish 

Insect breeding - what species are suitable

• The black soldier fly (Hermetica illucens) Black Soldier Fly
• The small mealworm or buffalo worm (Alphitobius diaperinus)
• The mealworm (Tenebrio molitor)

Advantages:

• Optimal feed utilization: Residual streams are by-products from the food industry that are approved as feed. These residual streams provide the proteins for the BSF. The black soldier fly can convert 9ß% of the proteins in its feed to biomass.
• No diseases: Due to the short life span - the fattening period is one week - and the top hygienic conditions, no diseases occur. Medication is never necessary.
• Low space requirement: Up to one ton of insect protein is produced per year on one square meter.
• Speed: With its short fattening period, the Black Sodier Fly is a record holder in efficiency. Week after week, it produces new protein for sustainable feed production.
