Insect protein in animal feed (radio programme)

[Formatted]

If you're interested, 10-12 minutes on insect protein in livestock feed from 21 minutes into this https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09y6zbw

Few companies out there at the moment but no ones scaled up yet but there is some big money following into the industry, particularly from the renewable energy sector as tariffs are no longer as good.

Isn’t someone on here involved?

Well, if we just stop checking for grainstore bugs they can have a fair old bit of insect protein I expect

Insect protein and renewable energy are the way forward,combined to produce cheap protein.

I suspect that since livestock were never designed to eat bugs you will get the same bypass effect as when you fed fish or mbm.

Chickens eat anything. I’ve seen a duck eat a dead mouse.

most of the insect protein is to try and protect us again the crazy soya pricing Regime. scary stuff maybe.but many of the population just want a cheap chicken bucket.

I will soldier on producing cheap food for the masses, despite the assurance scheme repeated claims that people will pay more if I fit windows etc to my sheds.

I've watched chickens chase down mice and eat them, they do a better job than the farm cats here
