UK company testing novel bioprocessing technique to boost the nutritional and functional benefits of insect-derived feeds

With support from Innovate UK and the European Institute of Technology, UK-based Entomics is using a novel bioprocessing technique to boost the nutritional and functional benefits of insect-derived feeds; they have termed their microbial fermentation technology \"Metamorphosis.\" \"There are several benefits to this process, from affecting the gut\'s microbiome and trying to preserve a healthier bacterial community there, to training immune systems to make livestock more resistant to disease challenges and at the same time reduce the need for veterinary medicines, antibiotics and vaccines.\" Entomics is currently working with researchers at Stirling University to validate and test their products in the field.
