Introduction

Dried Zophobas are a dried product derived from giant mealworm larvae, processed through either high-temperature baking or low-temperature freeze-drying to remove moisture. The production process involves cleaning the live larvae, blanching, and controlled-temperature drying; the resulting product is yellowish-brown, with intact bodies that are crisp and dry. We engage in year-round industrialized mass production, ensuring a consistent supply throughout the year with no significant seasonal interruptions. Our primary export markets are the pet and aquaculture feed sectors in Russia, Europe, and the Americas.

Key Nutritional Indicators

1.High Protein (Core Advantage)

With a crude protein content ranging from 50% to 62%, this product significantly surpasses fish meal, soybean meal, and beef or mutton (for comparison, dried beef contains approximately 26% protein). It features a full spectrum of 18 amino acids—including all 8 essential amino acids—with particularly outstanding levels of lysine and methionine. The amino acid profile aligns with FAO animal nutrition standards, and the protein boasts a high rate of digestibility and absorption, making it a premium-quality, complete protein source of animal origin.

2.High-Quality Fats (Crude Fat: 25%–32%)

Primarily composed of **unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid and linolenic acid)**, with a balanced Omega-3/6 ratio, this product enhances coat luster in pets and improves meat quality in aquaculture species. With its high energy density, it effectively promotes weight gain in young pets and juvenile aquatic stock.

3.Comprehensive Mineral Complex

Rich in Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron, Zinc, Potassium, Sodium, and Magnesium: The calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is optimally balanced to support skeletal development in reptiles and ornamental fish; the high iron and zinc content helps address issues of anemia and weak constitution in young livestock and poultry.

4.Multivitamins

Comprehensive B-complex series (B1, B2, B6, B12), Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and Choline; promotes metabolism, enhances feed intake and reproductive performance, and reduces stress-related hair loss and soft-shell issues in animals.

5.Unique Functional Bioactive Substances:

Chitin: A natural component of insect exoskeletons; it regulates intestinal health, adsorbs intestinal toxins, and boosts the immunity of fish, shrimp, turtles, and tortoises.

Natural Antimicrobial Peptides: Possess inherent antibacterial activity, reducing gastrointestinal diseases in aquatic animals and pets, and serving as a partial substitute for antibiotics in feed.

Natural Digestive Enzymes: Protease and cellulase, which enhance overall feed conversion efficiency.

6. Crude Fiber (3%–6%)

A moderate level of crude fiber facilitates intestinal peristalsis, aiding gastrointestinal digestion in birds, hamsters, and reptiles.

Scope of Application

Aquaculture: Ornamental fish, shrimp, soft-shelled turtles, and high-value fry—replaces 5%–15% of fish meal; promotes growth and improves survival rates.

Pets: Parrots, hamsters, lizards, turtles, and exotic reptiles—serves as a primary or supplementary feed ingredient; enhances coat luster and improves palatability.

Specialized Breeding: Frogs, scorpions, and fur-bearing animals—serves as a premium protein raw material.
