Increasing the value of waste streams

Musca Domestica and Larvae breeding technology can bring waste streams with high protein and/or carbohydrate content to a higher value.

This Walter reduces nitrogen deposition from manure

The (patented) Walter offers farmers a solution to nitrogen problems. Larvae breeding reduced the amount of nitrogen by 76% in manure.

Both larvae and manure bring money into the market and already by reducing manure's total weight and humidity by 67.2 and 80.0, respectively.

The odour emission (characterised by 3-methylindole) drops by 94.5%, and by feeding the manure directly to the larvae, hardly any ammonia can be formed. 

The process is safe too. The Escherichia coli (E. coli) index reduces by 92.0%.
