Amusca - Insect Breeding Unit
The Amusca Insect Breeding Unit produces daily a mix of 5 tonnes of larvae, crude fibre and minerals. With the Amusca Insect Breeding module we offer you the possibility to produce insect larvae in a safe and stable way. The system is scalable and cost-effective, allowing you to run it with relatively limited investment. The modular system consists of 40-feet High Cube (HC) containers. The adult flies live in these modules, producing eggs and larvae are reared. Depending on your desired production capacity, more modules can be installed at any time, reducing your investment risk and payback time.
Amusca’s starting point: it is important to treat people, animals and the environment with respect. Our success depends on healthy insects that live in an efficient and high-quality housing.
Our knowledge of insects inspired us to develop insect technology that enables you to introduce insect larvae in your business operations. Without the hassle of mass insect larvae breeding by outsourcing this specialized process to insect service provider Amusca.
We understand that insect production is not your core business. That is why the production process is designed to operate anywhere with Amusca software and monitoring, allowing you to concentrate on your core business.
For the installation of hardware, substrate selection, module start-up, quality control, maintenance and support the local Amusca partner will offer you all the support you need.
The Amusca Insect Breeding Unit produces daily a mix of 5 tonnes of larvae, crude fibre and minerals. All valuable feed components. The specifications of the mix may be adapted to your wishes by changing the insect line and the substrate composition.
If GMP+ quality feed is chosen, the total product (larvae, crude fibre and minerals) can be applied in animal feed. The composition of the Amusca Mix depends on the feed given to the larvae.
Example based of a Corn Steep and Beet Pulp ( all GMP feed quality) diet for the larvae
Variation in carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the feed of larvae also results in a variation in the end product. Tell us your wishes and we will give you tailor-made advice.
The composition is influenced by genetic variation of the Amusca produced Musca Domestica fly strain and the feed composition. In this picture you see how certain feed components in the substrates influence the ultimate product. Tell us your wishes and the local available substrates and our consultants will give you tailor-made advice.
The amino acid profile of the larvae shows strong similarities with fishmeal. If you had always wanted to add fishmeal to the feed, but this was too expensive or would like to replace fishmeal because it is not sustainable, then the Amusca mix is a perfect alternative.
