Our Insect Products: Hi.Protein® - an ideal animal-based protein substitute for fishmeal or soybean meal in the diets of Fish, Shrimp, Poultry, Swine, Pets and Reptiles. Hi.Protein® offers a range of positive impacts for monogastric animals' health and performance. Providing essential macro and micronutrients in the diet improves gut microbial communities by increasing the abundance of key bacteria involved in monogastric health. Hi.Frass® - the manure of Black Soldier Fly larvae. It is rich in chitin, which naturally boosts plants' defence mechanisms. It is also loaded with beneficial microorganisms which enhance soil fertility, structure and boosts microbial activities. Resulting in better plant health and nutrient-rich crops. Hi.Oil® - a unique source of energy, tailored for monogastric species such as poultry and swine. Mechanically extracted from Black Soldier Fly larvae fed on a 100% vegetable diet, it contains a high content of essential medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) that enhance animals’ health. Hi.Dried™ - a healthy snack made for pets, poultry, wild birds, or reptiles. Combining the Black Soldier Fly larvae meal and oil benefits, it’s the perfect solution for a direct feed application. Hi.Dried™ is a sustainable source of nutrients and minerals that will naturally enhance animal health.
