Product description

Protix’s ProteinX, LipidX, PureeX, and related insect ingredients are the result of large-scale rearing of black soldier fly larvae fed on organic waste streams. These products offer high-quality protein, functional fats, and nutritious puree for various applications in animal feed, aquaculture, pet food, and plant nutrition.

The innovative aspect of Protix's solutions lies in their sustainable production process that significantly reduces CO₂ emissions, water use, and land consumption compared to traditional feed ingredients. By utilizing insect larvae and their byproducts, Protix creates eco-friendly alternatives that promote animal health, immune function, and gut health while minimizing environmental impact.
