2023年1月30日,联合几家公司财团是首开先河的协作,联合行业领导人和著名的以色列学者加速采用净水器餐作为饲料成份。这是新兴以色列净水器行业的一个重要里程碑,它成为可能由于以色列创新权力分配1800万NIS第一项(540万美元)。Entoprotech财团支柱之一是由于思想活跃在所有工作组和作为财团的处理设施。昆虫产业相对年轻,目前寻求一种成长和扩大。所有昆虫饲料的美国和欧盟的监管机构批准,净水器具备大规模饲养:它是对人类和环境无害,能够快速增长等多种基质食物浪费和agri-processing副产品。净水器尤其引人注目的高蛋白质含量作为净水器幼虫是一个很好的高质量的蛋白质来源,可以取代鱼粉等饲料蛋白,大豆,和其他家禽、水产养殖、猪和宠物的饮食。净水器养育是一个零废品的过程,即使是在这个过程中产生的残渣(蛀屑)是一种优质肥料。所有这些特征上具有独特的优势生物沙子饮用水过滤系统来支持可持续农业向过渡到以色列和世界范围内的循环经济。该财团包括八家公司(Entoprotech、FreezeM Ambar, Shachar Group Ltd .) NRGene, Neomanna, BugEra,拉斐尔饲料加工厂有限公司)和研究小组从五个学术机构(MIGAL Volcani研究所,海法大学,特拉维夫大学和希伯来大学)。在一起,他们会解决技术难题,阻碍净水器产品的大规模采用。 The consortium will develop BSF diets optimized for scaling up and downstream applications in animal feed, aided by machine learning technologies for the prediction of the nutritional profile of the end products based on substrate profile. Furthermore, the consortium will target an important issue--the quality of the protein. Bioprocessing optimization will address palatability and digestibility known to limit the inclusion of the BSF meal in animal diets. The improved processing methods and BSF diet optimization will potentially allow full replacement of the feed protein from other sources while tailoring the BSF product quality to the nutritional demands of the target animals. These efforts will lay the foundations for the economic feasibility of BSF farming, vital for the industry's long-term success. Entoprotech, which brings to the table extensive R&D capabilities, will lead the establishment of the first Israeli pilot BSF facility. The pilot will allow optimization and scaling-up of BSF biomass processing to produce protein, fat and other products. The facility will supply BSF ingredients for all consortium activities. The company also will be involved in mapping feedstock sources, optimization of BSF diets and exploration of the effect of substrate nutritional profile on BSF profile and additional activities. “The prospect of collective effort to accelerate the deployment of the BSF industry while creating industrial symbiosis and laying the foundation for the BSF industrial ecosystem in Israel is unique and exciting. Besides its obvious economic advantage, it has a potential to reap huge societal merit by contributing to climate change and emerging food security crisis,” says Yulia Matiuhin, PhD, head of R&D at Entoprotech, a member of the consortium’s Scientific Committee and head of one of the consortium’s working groups. “The creative use of bugs as a solution to the problem of organic waste hazards, while reducing environmental pollution has proven itself to be highly effective–bugs have high nutritional potential, produce fewer greenhouses gasses and emit less ammonia than farm animals, industrial-scale farming of bugs requires less space, water and land than a cattle farm, and they are more effective at converting food to biomass,” says Aviv Zeevi, VP Technological Infrastructure at the Israel Innovation Authority.
