Kinsect

Automated and AI-driven process for large-scale Black Soldier Fly reproduction for feed production.

An automated Black Soldier Fly farming technology enhancing insect protein production, creating efficient, scalable feed solutions for sustainable protein in aquaculture and animal agriculture.

The Problem

Navigating Feed Challenges: The Strain on Global Agriculture and Wild Fish

77%

of the world's agricultural land is used for livestock feed

Conventional feed sources like fishmeal and soy strain ecosystems and require vast resources. Insect farming is a sustainable alternative, but high labor costs and inefficient reproduction methods limit scalability. Current farms spend up to €10M per facility on reproduction and nursery stages, accounting for 25% of total investment and 50% of labor costs. The lack of automation prevents cost-effective production.

THE SOLUTION

Revolutionizing Livestock Nutrition with Black Soldier Fly Larvae Technology

Kinsect's AI-driven automation optimizes Black Soldier Fly reproduction, cutting costs by 40% and ensuring 24/7 production. Patented smart cages and sensors eliminate manual labor, reduce egg loss by 20%, and improve efficiency, making large-scale insect farming cost-effective.

The Impact

Transforming Animal Feed for Sustainable Farming with Eco-Friendly Insect Protein

10X

fewer impact than plant protein

Upcycled high-protein insect meal serves as an innovative substitute for soy and fish meal. This revolutionary approach minimizes waste and requires less soil and water than conventional animal farming.

Thanks to patented optimized cages and oviposition devices for egg harvesting, and by harnessing insects' bioconversion capabilities, it's possible to insert circularity into the farming and livestock industry without productivity downsides. 

Kinsect is an alternative protein solution for:

  • Feed producers
  • Biogas plants
  • Insect farms

The benefits of Kinsect protein feed solution

Kinsect's automated system operates on a batch production model, maximizing fly density per cubic meter, improving yields, and heightening efficiency. Within a controlled environment, the uniquely designed cages move automatically, increasing egg production and facilitating daily automated and efficient collection. 

This technology promotes clean, alternative protein sources for the agricultural and livestock value chain.
