Animal feed

Replacing soy meal and wild-caught fishmeal with black soldier fly larvae, mealworms, single-cell protein and microalgae — insect farms that turn food-industry byproducts into a 55-75% protein concentrate rich in gut-protective lauric acid, cutting feed antibiotic use and the carbon footprint of meat and dairy, even as one flagship US-China insect JV stalled in 2026 while the sector pivots toward Asia.

Microbial single-cell protein grown by fermenting methane, CO2/hydrogen or side-streams into a high-protein feed ingredient that displaces fishmeal and deforestation-linked soymeal.

Feed additives, red-seaweed and vaccine technologies that suppress enteric methanogenesis in cattle, sheep and goats — delivering 30–98% methane reduction while recovering 3–7% of feed energy as propionate.

Organic and hydroxy trace minerals (zinc, copper, manganese, selenium) chelated to amino acids or bis-chelated complexes replace inorganic sulfates/oxides in livestock diets for higher bioavailability and lower excretion.
