The focus of the initial experiment is on the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, where we’re comparing its growth on a standard diet against a low-cost alternative made from bakery waste. This not only helps in cutting down costs but also tackles food waste, making our agricultural practices more sustainable.
Looking forward, we aim to expand our research to include using these insects as feed in fish and chicken diets. We’re particularly excited to test how these diets, cultivated from alternative feeds, fare in terms of taste and acceptance among different farm animals.
This step towards sustainable farming could significantly change how we approach animal nutrition and waste management in agriculture. Stay tuned as we continue to explore these exciting developments and share our findings.
Keep an eye on our progress, and thank you for your support as we innovate for a sustainable future!
