Problem
Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farms face challenges in maintaining consistent and efficient protein production due to the complexities of in-house breeding operations and reliance on daily supply of BSF neonates. In-house breeding can be unpredictable and costly, while dependence on external suppliers introduces logistical hurdles and potential inconsistencies in neonate quality.
Solution
FreezeM provides insect rearing facilities with life-cycle paused Black Soldier Fly (BSF) neonates, branded as PauseM®, to streamline protein production and reduce operational costs. PauseM® eliminates the need for in-house BSF breeding, allowing farms to focus on rearing and processing. The PauseM® neonates are cryopreserved and shipped globally in pre-counted units, ensuring high-quality and consistent production. This outsourced breeding solution reduces unpredictability and operational risks, enabling efficient scaling and conversion of bio-waste into valuable protein.
Target Audience
The primary customers are insect protein production facilities and waste management companies seeking to optimize Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming operations for protein production and bio-waste conversion.
