A Nova Scotia scientist who produces protein from insects is hoping to dramatically expand his company's operations by 2024 with the opening of a new facility. The company is already working with poultry farmers and pet food companies, he said, and ultimately hopes to work with aquaculture operations. He said that bait fish sardines are currently being caught and ground up to feed salmon, but that has a powerful environmental impact on the oceans. The fully grown larvae are dried and ground into a powder which looks like coffee grounds and contains 55 per cent protein by weight, Wanger said. Wanger said the powder is then blended to make dog food, chicken feed or salmon pellets.
