Food is a huge contributor to climate change
AgriGrub’s mission is to eliminate the emissions from food production
We feed our grubs on food waste from supermarket supply chains, avoiding waste going to landfill and anaerobic digestion and producing a methane, a potent greenhouse gas
The grubs’ manure is a novel organic fertiliser which repels pests, reducing the need for synthetic, carbon-intensive fertilisers which pollute our rivers. The manure also sequesters carbon back into soil, where it is needed most for sustainable food production
Feeding the grubs to livestock reduces the use of unsustainable protein sources, like soya, which is a leading cause of rainforest deforestation
AgriGrub reduced the UK’s CO2 emissions by over 800 tonnes last year
Our Calci Worms are the best natural protein source for all sorts of animals
For poultry, the wiggly grubs encourage scratching and foraging behaviour, and has shown to increase activity and decrease feather-pecking
In reptiles and other zoo animals, live and active grubs are essential for natural hunting behaviour
Grubs are available in two different sizes to suit different sized animals
Our Calci Worms are 35% protein and have higher calcium than any other feeder insect, promoting growth and egg production
Just a 10% inclusion in poultry diets gives 10% bigger eggs, 20% yellower yolks, higher feed conversion ratio and a longer laying lifetime
Calci Worms have high levels of lauric acid and calcium helping prevent diseases including Metabolic Bone Disease in reptiles, as well as being essential for breeding females
Safe and delicious for all insectivores, including hedgehogs. Unlike other feeder insects, no gut loading or nutrient dusting's required and they are easy to keep

LIVE CALCI WORMS
Safe and nutritious for all insectivores, and ready to feed: No dusting or gut loading required
BSFL is a sustainable, highly nutritious feed which supports higher welfare chicken raising.
Reptiles and amphibians thrive on BSFL. With a wide nutritional profile they are a great insect to feed. Being particularly rich in calcium supports essential health needs for their skin, bone and muscle health.
Hedgehogs adore BSFL larvae, and they can be fed safely as they are low in phosphorous
DRIED CALCI WORMS
Puffed or dried larvae are an excellent source of nutrition for wild birds, garden amphibians and hedgehogs.
With many of the benefits of live larvae, such as an excellent source of calcium, these treats are a delight for garden visitors and can support them with a highly nutritious diet throughout the year.
INSECT MEAL
A great replacement for unsustainable soy protein in fish feed and pet food. BSFL protein offers a range of micro and macro-nutrients in addition to its use as a protein source.
BSFL insect meal nutritional profile can support a range of the health benefits experienced from feeding live larvae. These benefits can support decreased use of fishmeal in fish food production.
BSFL FRASS
Certified as an input for organic growing
A well balanced N-P-K, slow release fertiliser with additional micro-nutrient profile to support the soil biome and plant health. Bee friendly! Good for all pollinators and beneficial insects
High carbon content for sequestration supporting soil regeneration
No leaching and run-off safeguards local water courses or waterways and keeps the fertiliser nutrition to where it is applied
BSF frass is non-allergenic and safe to use in gardens as well as in agriculture and horticulture
