About

INOSECT specializes in insect farming, utilizing insects for feed and food. The company extracts protein from harvested black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens). The larvae are processed into protein meal and lipids, serving the production of industrialized animal feed. INOSECT is developing a modular and automated industrialized rearing device (Ento-Drum-ED) designed for intensive cultivation of fly larvae using nontoxic organic wastes. The ED is designed to operate as a subunit in a large-scale facility or as an isolated unit for small-scale operations. The process is monitored and controlled by a self-learning module developed specifically for the task, and it fully controls and maintains an insect mass cultivation process without any human intervention.
