Lifecycle

Up until now, this valuable raw material has been largely disposed of once the silk has been reeled from the cocoon. In view of the steadily increasing global demand for protein and the associated consequences for our environment, we need new solutions. 

PROMBYX extends the value chain of silk production, thereby harnessing silkworm pupae for use in pet food.

NEW

Silkworm protein meal

As special as our pets. Stand out from the competition with silkworm protein in your feed formulation.

The high-quality source of protein for your hypoallergenic and meat-free recipes for dogs and cats. This silkworm meal, which has been gently defatted using a mechanical process, provides 70% crude protein and is rich in methionine. The defatted silkworm meal can be used in a variety of ways in your recipes, whether in wet food, extruded dry food or treats.

SUSTAINABILITY

Protein that doesn't cost us the earth

An essential aspect of our products is their sustainability. In general, insects can score points here compared to traditional livestock due to their high feed conversion rate. However, they need a warm environment to do so. In this regard, the mild climate of India naturally offers ideal temperatures for silkworms all year round. 

Our silkworms feed exclusively on mulberry leaves. These are freshly harvested several times a day from the surrounding pesticide-free mulberry trees.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES

Valuable ingredients for demanding animal nutrition

In close cooperation with veterinarians, we provide you with natural products with a high nutritional value.

50% crude protein in whole dried silkworm pupae with a balanced amino acid profile

 

High proportion of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids

 

High natural vitamin E content

Rich in minerals

The high protein content and balanced amino acid profile make silkworm pupae an excellent alternative to meat. Polyunsaturated fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect. As an antioxidant, vitamin E supports the utilization of unsaturated fatty acids. Where otherwise grain products serve as a source of vitamin E, silkworm pupae can serve as a natural source in grain-free recipes.
