The industrial exploitation of arthropods requires the optimization of the mass rearing systems. In line with this, one of our main services is to transfer technology alongside research and development of arthropods mass rearing. The main goal is to provide to any knowledge, or technology, that the industry needs in order to achieve the required productive level. Our clients refer to us with the need to acquire a biotechnological tool integrated in their productive systems, or an innovated service extension. Depending on the demand, and based on our previous experiences, we either carry out a technology transfer, or we start a research and development process. Either way, thanks to the multi-disciplined Entomotech team, with a wide knowledge in entomology, engineering, biotechnology, business, project management, we achieve to provide integrated results with a good relation cost/benefit having a high value.
In between our technology transfer and research services, we point out the arthropods mass rearing systems design. Those systems are rather versatile and adaptable to our client´s demands. It includes:
-
Massive production of Industrial facilities design
-
Assurance and Quality control in the production
-
Traceability
-
Formulation of protocols
-
Scaling up and industrialization
In our desire to improve and provide solutions to systems of mass rearing of our customers, we develop artificial diets adapted to the nutritional needs of each specie, innovating with new components. Thanks to these developments, the production systems are more efficient and cheap.
Include:
-
Formulations
-
Additives
-
Presentation and preservation
