Bugs4Feed™Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL)
BSFL protein is a sustainable, nutrient-dense protein for animals — dried grubs as a supplement, or an ingredient in feed formulations. Insect proteins are the fastest-growing novel protein segment, with BSFL leading over mealworms and crickets. IHT's larvae are a sustainably produced protein from our proprietary upcycling bioconversion technology.

Competitive Advantage
Not all Proteins are Created Equal
BSFL stands apart as a feed ingredient because of a strong protein density, a beneficial fat profile, high digestibility, and low allergen risk. Its unique functional value is in chitin (prebiotic), lauric acid (gut health), antimicrobial peptides (immunity) and high calcium content. BSFL has successfully gone through the AAFCO ingredient definition process, and dried grubs are already in market through retail, pet stores, and farm and feed channels.
