APAIS 2026

We recently visited a small fish farm near KL to explore the possibilities on integrating BSF into their ecosystem. Stay tuned on this project!

Snakeheads are delicious. Can they eat BSF? We visited a farmer to discuss that very topic!

We gave a talk online via the Entomological Society of Malaysia. Charles gave his talk titled "Nutrition in Insect Farming: Stakes, Blocakges and Solutions" that covers the general landscape of insect farming and the hurdles we have seen in the industry. 

We recently visited and worked with a prawn farm to explore possibilities on alternative sustainable feed and improving productions as well as biosecurity in their operations.

We have just started a trial in a oil palm estate to test on fertiliser alternatives in an effort to reduce cost and have more sustainable solutions. Stay tuned on the progress!

It was a fruitful event at the Asian Insect Industry & Research Forum by AFFIA: ASIAN FOOD & FEED INSECT ASSOCIATION held at University Malaya. Dr. Teo was involved in the first panel discussion on Unlocking Insect Markets: Risk Perception, Quality Assurance, and the Role of Certification; while Dr. Charles gave a presentation on our latest published paper where we investigated how supplementing black soldier fly larvae diet with minerals (polyhalite) could improve the production performance and mitigate the nitrogen loss.
