The path to your own system
We offer a comprehensive, scalable and sustainable solution for decentralized insect production. These systems could be an attractive investment for farms looking to optimize their feed protein supply while implementing environmentally sustainable measures.
- Step 1
Interest phase (1-2 months):
The operational structures are analyzed, a consultation is held on the FarmInsect concept and production economics, and visits are made to a production facility and a customer.
- Step 2
Decision phase (1 month)
A waiting list contract is signed, the approval process is initiated and a financing concept is drawn up, in each case with optional support from FarmInsect.
- Step 3
Implementation phase (6-24 months):
A project plan is drawn up, an individual feed recipe for the larvae is developed based on the available feed (including free feed tests), detailed system and building planning is carried out and the system is installed and commissioned.
Your advantages at a glance
Economic efficiency
Add value to low-quality feed and open up new markets. Our systems offer constant cash flow and ensure the profitability of your farm.
Partnership
Benefit from bundled expertise: You contribute your know-how in cultivation, we contribute our technology and breeding. Strong together for success.
New line of business
Expand your farm with an innovative solution that integrates biogas plants, storage capacities and after-use concepts. Semi-automated, space-saving and high-yield - ideal for your farm.
Efficiency
Make optimum use of existing resources such as feed, waste heat and buildings. Short fattening phases ensure predictable and efficient production.

Our services at a glance
Breeding
FarmInsect focuses on the optimization and further development of larval production. Our research in larval biology aims to increase the yield of larvae, optimize feed conversion and minimize the mortality rate.
System technology
Our systems engineering is based on proven technologies and state-of-the-art robotics. With a strong network of manufacturers and a global network of partners, we offer robust and tried-and-tested solutions. This is complemented by a comprehensive service network that offers everything from a single source - from planning to operation.
Process and project planning
FarmInsect creates customized concepts that are perfectly tailored to the requirements of your farm. This includes the analysis and testing of feed, economic planning, the recommendation of optimal solutions and the commissioning of the systems.
Marketing
We support you with well thought-out sales concepts for your larvae and insect products. Our solutions help you to develop a sustainable market for larvae protein and insect feed and thus promote your long-term success.

Q&A
How can I imagine insect fattening?
In our concept, everything explicitly revolves around a larva, which is fattened in closed production units. This means that an adult insect does not develop.
What do I need for insect fattening?
There are 3 important factors: buildings, energy and feed. The latter is the biggest cost driver and can also put the first two points into perspective.
What food do the larvae get?
As the larva of the black soldier fly is approved as a farm animal, we are only allowed to feed it approved feedstuffs. Everything on the DLG's positive feed list may be used.
Where can I get the larvae?
Breeding and reproduction takes place at FarmInsect. The young animals are then regularly delivered to the fattening farms.
What happens to the larvae after fattening?
The larvae are kept in a cooling device and then collected from the farm at closely timed intervals. They are then further processed into market-relevant product stages and are used in animal feed.
What added value do insects have?
We are 90% dependent on protein imports to feed humans and animals. Animal protein in particular plays a major role and offers little or no alternative. With insect larvae, we solve precisely this problem and produce a domestic, animal protein.
Are the larvae also used in food?
No, the larva of the black soldier fly is currently not approved for food production, but only for aquaculture, pigs, poultry and pets.
