Healthy
Not your average creepy crawlie. Astonishingly nutritious – rich in protein, calcium & fat- a perfect nutritional supplement for chickens!
Sustainable
The future of animal feed. Climate-friendly waste reducers and incredible bioconverters. Our Calci Worms really are saving the planet.
HENrichment
Hens love foraging and hunting for lively larvae – providing valuable enrichment and stimulating natural instincts. Our Calci Worms are proven to reduce stress.
Our promise: You’ll notice the difference immediately
That’s because the first benefit of feeding them is the enrichment and stimulation of natural instincts, which are scientifically proven to reduce stress and increase natural foraging behaviour.
What are Calci Worms? The Science Part
Black Soldier Fly Larvae (or Hermetia illucens if you’re feeling fancy) are astonishingly nutritious, eco-friendly bugs. They’re the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly – a super exciting insect in agricultural circles. These bugs don’t spread disease, can reduce antimicrobial resistance, enhance health and immunity naturally, and may hold the key to saving our planet…

How BSF Larvae are Farmed
We farm the larvae in a 28°C, 70% humidity environment where they consume triple their weight daily in Brewer’s Spent Grain from Vale Brewery. The larvae gobble up triple their weight of this nutritious food daily, turning it into nutrition for chickens! Our video shows how the larvae self-harvest by climbing ramps onto our conveyor and into crates.
The BSFL Circular
Economy
Black Soldier Fly larvae aren’t just chicken treats but also planet preservers! These tiny critters aid in waste reduction, turning organic leftovers into compost gold. They’re part of a cyclical, closed-loop recycling process that helps us help our Mother Earth.
If that’s not super-bug status, we don’t know what is!
The Mighty Black Soldier Fly
This is what our larvae would turn into if hungry hens didn’t gobble them up!
The adult Black Soldier Fly has no mouthparts and can’t spread disease or cause harm. They live just long enough to mate. They’re all about gifting us their ECO-hero offspring, ensuring our hens are nourished sustainably!
