A key challenge remains to achieve organic and sustainable monogastric feeding strategies: meeting their protein and essential amino acid needs with locally sourced feedstuffs.
Feeding of insects offers new possibilities to overcome the protein gap in organic farming. Insect feeds offer a sustainable and local alternative to commonly used protein feed sources.
Живи насекоми и брашно от ларви могат да заменят соята в дажбите. Аминокиселинният профил на насекомите отговаря на хранителните нужди на рибите, птиците и свинете, особено по отношение на аминокиселини като лизин, треонин, метионин и триптофан.

This practice abstract was elaborated in the Organic Knowledge Network on Monogastric Animal Feed project. The project is running from January 2018 to December 2020. The overall aim of OKNet EcoFeed is to help farmers, breeders and the organic feed processing industry in achieving the goal of 100% use of organic and regional feed for monogastrics.
