The European Commission has approved the use of insects as animal feed in the EU, a move adopted by Denmark with the aim to reduce soybean imports. Danish researchers are focusing on the black soldier fly as a potential replacement for 10% of imported soybeans by 2024. These insects are efficient in converting waste products from breweries and dairies into protein, with one gram of eggs hatching into 30,000 larvae. Researchers at the University of Aarhus are now working on optimizing the diet of the flies to improve efficiency and decrease nitrogen emissions.

Denmark, like Spain and many other EU countries, has to import soybeans from America to feed pigs and poultry. Recently, the European Commission has approved the use of insects for feeding pigs and other monogastric animals in the European Union. Taking advantage of this approval, the Danish administration wants to reduce its imports of soybeans based on the use of insects in animal feed. Danish researchers trust the black soldier fly and hope that by 2024 it will already have a practical use. They believe that insects could replace 10% of the soybeans that are imported into Denmark. They have opted for the black soldier fly because it is very efficient. One gram of soldier fly eggs hatches into 30,000 larvae, which in the last seven days of their life increase by 40 times their weight. The insects can be fed on by-products from breweries or dairies. Researchers at the University of Aarhus are looking for a composition of ...
