Our Partners
Support

Entec Nutrition Ltd received funding from the Agritech Cornwall Innovation Grant Scheme funded from the ERDF as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2021. This fund supported R&D activity which resulted in the analysis of the nutritional content of dried mealworms and the development of processing methods to produce nutritious oil-rich and protein-rich ingredients from mealworms. This work will be valuable in the ongoing development of sustainable, functional feed additives for use in the poultry and aquaculture sectors.
