Now available: Powerful protein for pets

There’s a new ingredient that’s creating a lot of buzz in the pet food industry: protein made from Black Soldier Fly grubs. Not only do adult dogs find it delicious, the natural and sustainable ingredient will help shrink these consumers’ environmental pawprints.

Pet food ingredients that make a difference

EnterraProtein™

  • Hypoallergenic, natural ingredients: With no prior use in dog or cat food, protein meal made from Black Soldier Fly larvae is an excellent choice for hypoallergenic foods. The Black Soldier Fly larvae are also naturally produced in North America using local pre-consumer food waste streams for feedstock.
  • Highly digestible and palatable ingredients: Internal and external trials have shown high digestibility and palatability of the protein and other key nutrients for pet food with Black Soldier Fly larvae ingredients. A 25-30% inclusion rate is recommended for blending with other ingredients in your formulated pet food.
  • Sustainable and innovative alternative: Insect ingredients are becoming popular to address the market demand for sustainable ingredients. Our vertical farming technique and the government-approved, pre-consumer waste feedstock reduces carbon footprint and water and land use per unit of protein produced.
