Khepri Biosciences

Breeding insects from abattoir waste to produce animal protein feed
2015 SEED South Africa Award Lauréat-e Waste Management Mogale City, South Africa

The enterprise, at its first pilot site in Krugersdorp, collects abattoir and agricultural waste as input for the production of insect larvae, which, in turn, serve as raw material for protein-rich animal feed.

The product is cheaper than conventional feed based on fish meal, reducing the cost of animal farming. The enterprise also produces compost that is sold to farmers to organically improve yields.

Khepri Bioscience is reducing input costs for farmers, thus lowering the price of mainly fish, chicken meat and eggs, paving the way to improved food security in the region. Closing the loop between organic waste and farming, the enterprise diverts agricultural waste from landfills. As it offers an alternative source of protein feed to popular fish meal, it also reduces pressure on marine life.

  • Introducing new green technologies and sustainable resource utilisation into the value chain of animal farming.
  • Diverting 70 tons of agricultural waste from landfill per day and protecting fresh-water sources from organic waste.
  • Preventing 15 tons of fish being converted into fishmeal every day at full pilot capacity.
  • Lowering financial barriers for emergent farmers to enter into animal production.
  • Stimulating local economies by creating a new industry that rural communities can participate in.
  • Establishing a monetary value for a product that would otherwise be unused problematic waste.
