Successful start: 1st insect round table at the FBN

|   News

On 18 February 2025, the first Insect Round Table took place at the Research Institute of Farm Animal Biology (FBN) in Dummerstorf - a new platform for the exchange of information on the keeping and use of insects

Together with the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Research Centre for Agriculture and Fisheries (LFA MV), the FBN invited experts from practice, industry and research to discuss the potential of this innovative sector.
With 31 participants, the event was well attended and met with great interest. The focus was on the potential uses of insects in animal nutrition - particularly in poultry and pig feeding and in aquaculture. Feeding with insects could not only improve animal welfare, but also offer a sustainable alternative to soya. The opportunities for farms to develop insect farming as an additional source of income were also discussed.
The successful start of the insect round table shows: There is great interest in innovative solutions in agriculture. Due to the positive response, another event is already in preparation and will be announced in good time.
