In 2022, pig and poultry farmers in the European Union will be able to feed their livestock purpose-bred insects, following the European Commission’s decision in 2021 to amend a ban on farm feed made of animal remains following the BSE crisis in 1994. The change in feed regulations means that farmers will be allowed to use processed animal proteins and insects to feed non-ruminant animals including swine, poultry and horses.
To reduce this unsustainable supply, the EU has encouraged local soya production and the use of alternative, European plant-based proteins, such as the lupin bean, field bean and alfalfa. The licensing of insect proteins in pig and poultry feed represents a further step in the development of sustainable European feed.
This will not only be good for our planet, but for pigs and chickens too. Insects are part of the natural diet of both wild pigs and poultry. They constitute up to ten per cent of a bird’s natural nutrition, rising to 50 per cent for some birds, such as turkeys. This, as well as many insects’ strong nutrient profiles, means that poultry health in particular is improved by the incorporation of insects into their diets.
Insect proteins will first be used in the premium pig- and poultry-feed market, where benefits currently outweigh the increased cost. After a few years, once economies of scale are in place, the full market potential can be reached.
