'The use of insects on a large scale as a feed ingredient is technically feasible, and established companies in various parts of the world are already leading the way,' it added, highlighting in particular producers in China, South Africa, Spain and the United States.
'Insects can supplement traditional feed sources such as soy, maize, grains and fishmeal,' it said, adding that the ones with most potential were larvae of the black soldier fly, the common housefly and the yellow mealworm.
