BSFL Are Sustainability Heroes
Unlike other livestock feed, BSFL live insect feed is genuinely sustainable. We’re not just crowing about it for the sake of it; ECOnourish is all about walking the sustainable walk.
How, you ask? Well, let us lay it out for you:
Feed Conversion Champions:
Live BSFL are practically bursting with essential vitamins and minerals, and knocking out a protein punch to rival Anthony Joshua. This means fowl can convert this into egg production. In short, you need less feed to give them what they need to lay efficiently and make eggs with strong shells and nutrient-rich yolks. Breakfast is on you.
Goodbye Greenhouse Gases:
Farming Black Soldier Fly larvae for animal feed shakes off the need to cultivate other, less sustainable feeds, which have a high carbon footprint. By feeding BSFL you’re reducing deforestation and keeping energy use down.
Waste Not, Want Not
ECOnourish is all about getting the most out of life (even the grim bits!). Black Soldier Fly larvae farming repurposes would-be decaying waste (that emits greenhouse gases) into biomass. Basically, we turn waste into nutritious living morsels for your flock.
Protein, Hold the Fishy Business
No more relying on fishmeal for your chicken’s protein fix. Overfishing puts huge pressure on wild fish stocks. Fish can take a deep, bubbly breath of relief.
Lower carbon footprint
Everything about ECOnourish is truly sustainable:
