Left: Ÿnsect was
founded 12 years
ago with a mission
to create a
sustainable, healthy
solution to feed the
world.
Ÿnsect
Right: Protix offers
a shelf-stable
protein meal made
from black soldier
fly larvae that can
be added to wet
and dry pet food
and treats.
Protix
mising its nutritional quality, " Hubert said. " It may be
used as the only source of protein in pet food formulation
or in combination with other protein sources to
meet protein and amino acid requirements. "
Research has shown varied health benefits in pets
when they switch to a mealworm diet. This includes a
decrease in skin disease, improved feces consistency and
a lowering of cholesterol.
Not all mealworms are created equal. In a recent
study published in the Journal of Animal Science
(January 2023), researchers from the Department of
Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign
evaluated the amino acid composition, digestibility
and protein quality of four mealworm-based
ingredients. The meal ingredients came from two species
- Alphitobius diaperinus and Tenebrio molitor - in
formats such as whole, defatted and hydrolyzed, in order
to study the differences in species and the effect of processing.
Ingredients were provided by Ÿnsect.
Overall results showed mealworm-based ingredients
are high-quality protein sources. Because this study was
performed on roosters, additional research is necessary
on dogs and cats to confirm palatability and digestibility.
In addition to being a supplier of mealworm ingredients,
Ÿnsect is expanding into the pet food business with
its own brand: Sprÿng.
" Twelve years ago we created Ÿnsect to bring a natural,
healthy and sustainable solution to feed the world, "
Hubert said. " We've grown a lot and our structure and
vision has evolved as well. Sprÿng expresses that wish to
accelerate on such a strategic B-2-B-2-C market, where
our products can bring so much to our customers and
pet owners. "
The insect ingredient business is a relatively young industry,
concluded van den Eshof. It's one with unlimited
potential for both the planet and for pets.
" Two recent scientific studies, for example, suggest
strong antioxidant activity in insect protein. This may
support healthy aging and longevity, " van den Eshof
said. " Other studies provide evidence of the microbial
effects of insect ingredients. These strong messages help
to steer pet owners' choice of feed. "
