The invention relates to a method for operating a cricket mass-rearing farm for the purpose of producing a high-quality, protein-rich food supplement for animals. The waste from the farm is also used to produce a biofertilising substrate for market gardening. In order to achieve said goals, an ingenious farming system has been designed which provides better performance and facilities for eliminating waste and maintaining cleanliness in the cages. The insects are fed from a field of alfalfa grown on site and in accordance with the strict organic farming standards. The harvested crickets are then boiled, dried and crushed in order to produce high-protein meals. Said meals are then used in various formulations for feeding farm animals (fish, fowl, rabbits, etc.). Formulations are also provided which can be used to feed humans. As for the farming by-products, they are co-composted with green waste in order to obtain a biofertiliser. The products from said method are free of toxic elements and comply with organic farming quality standards. |
