Cockroach Farming

Growing Demand for Protein

With increasing global demand for protein-rich food sources, particularly in poultry and livestock industries, traditional protein sources face challenges in availability, cost, and environmental impact. This creates opportunities for alternative protein sources like cockroach milk and granules.

Target Customers

Our primary target customers are poultry businesses, livestock farms, and feed manufacturers seeking organic and sustainable protein sources. We assess their willingness to adopt novel protein alternatives and their specific requirements in terms of quality, cost, and availability.

Market Size

Market research helps us determine the size of the target market, including the demand for cockroach milk and granules as protein supplements, potential pricing, and volume requirements.

Cockroach Species Selection

We research and select appropriate cockroach species that are safe, easily manageable, and capable of producing high-quality milk and granules. Nutritional value, growth rate, reproduction capacity, and suitability for commercial-scale farming are considered.

Farming Infrastructure

We develop a well-designed and controlled farming facility ensuring optimal conditions for cockroach breeding, milk extraction, and granule production, considering factors like temperature, humidity, lighting, ventilation, and waste management.

Milk Extraction and Granule Production

Efficient and hygienic processes are established for milk extraction and subsequent granule production. Quality control measures ensure consistent nutritional composition, purity, and safety of the final products.

Scaling Up

Scalability is planned by considering production capacity, space requirements, and potential expansion. Infrastructure and processes accommodate increasing demand without compromising product quality.

Compliance and Licensing

We familiarize ourselves with local and international regulations governing insect farming, food safety, and feed production. Compliance with relevant standards and obtaining necessary permits and certifications ensure legal operations and assure product safety and quality.
