British-farmed dried BSFL — the natural high-calcium protein source
Our dried BSFL are whole black soldier fly larvae harvested from our Staffordshire grow rooms and heat-dried to reduce moisture to below 10%. No additives, no preservatives, no blending with imported stock. The product you receive comes entirely from our own farm.
Dried BSFL have become a standard ingredient in premium pet food, wild bird feed and specialist reptile nutrition. Their nutritional profile — approximately 42% protein and 29% fat on a dry weight basis — makes them a highly palatable, energy-dense ingredient with a calcium profile significantly superior to dried mealworms.
For UK buyers, British provenance is increasingly a purchasing requirement rather than a preference. Our dried BSFL can be sold with full traceability to our Staffordshire farm, which simplifies labelling, regulatory compliance and marketing claims for retail products.
Why buyers are switching from imported dried BSFL
The majority of dried BSFL on the UK market is imported — primarily from Asia, with long transit times and limited traceability. As UK regulations on imported animal products continue to tighten and consumer demand for British provenance grows, domestically produced dried BSFL is becoming a competitive product differentiator for pet food brands and feed manufacturers.
Our dried BSFL can be positioned as British-farmed, sustainably produced and fully traceable — claims that imported alternatives cannot credibly make. For premium pet food and wild bird feed brands, this increasingly matters.
We can supply in bulk for further processing, or in smaller bags suitable for direct retail under your own brand. Discuss your specific requirements with us directly.
