Due to the resource sustainability associated with the consumption of insects as an alternative protein source in the feed industry, the demand for insect protein is the highest in the animal nutrition segment, by application

Although consuming edible insects has been a tradition since ancient times across Southeast Asian countries, the development of insect-based protein is a recent innovation. Due to the "yuck" factor associated with insect-related products for human consumption, the application of insect protein has gained high acceptance in the feed industry. Fluctuating prices of fishmeal, declining production of fishmeal, and increasing dependence of Europe for animal-based protein (other than bone meal) for livestock nutrition encouraged manufacturers in the region to adopt insect-based protein for feed. Due to these factors, the animal nutrition segment recorded the fastest growth across the globe.

High acceptance of crickets in the food industry due to their high protein content

Due to the high availability and acceptability of crickets and their high protein content, their usage in products, such as protein bars, is very high. Dried cricket powder contains 69% of protein, compared to sirloin beef (29%), dried beef (43%), and chicken (31%). It also contains nine essential amino acids, along with zinc, Vit. B12, iron, potassium, magnesium, sodium, and calcium. Also, cricket flour acts as an alternative for milk, as it contains a high amount of calcium. The use of crickets is profitable in comparison with other livestock proteins, owing to the reduced expenses associated with rearing crickets. Crickets usually require around 2 kg of feed to produce 1 kg of meat, in which around 80% is edible, whereas, cattle require 8 kg of feed to produce the same amount of meat, out of which only 40% is edible.
