With increasing demand for livestock in the food industry, there is an increase in animal waste products. Dumping of this type of waste is a health hazard and can potentially pollute the ground water as it becomes rancid very quickly. The legislation pertaining to how to dump this waste is in place but as the volume rises, we need a better plan.
For this reason, an entrepreneur called Jason Drew has come up with a way to recycle the animal waste from abattoirs. Jason started a project that feeds the animal waste to fly larvae. Fly larvae in turn can be dried and added to livestock meal or the larvae fed to fish. This alleviates the need for fish in the livestock and aquaculture industries or as fishmeal.
