Summary of Core Functional Ingredients of Black Soldier Fly Defatted Insect Powder.

I. Chitin 

Content: 7%–9% (dry basis)

Main Functions:

1. Regulates intestinal flora, promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, and inhibits harmful bacteria.

2. Enhances non-specific immunity in animals, improving disease resistance and stress resistance.

3. Adsorbs mycotoxins and heavy metals, reducing the burden on the body.

4. Protects the intestinal mucosal barrier and reduces intestinal inflammation.

Suitable for: Young animals, animals with fragile intestines, prone to diarrhea, and animals with high risk of mycotoxin contamination.

II. Lauric Acid (C12:0) 

Content: 30%–45% of total fatty acids, 5%–8% of dry insect meal.

Main Functions:

1. Powerful natural antibacterial agent, with outstanding effects against Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Clostridium, and Vibrio.

2. Medium-chain fatty acids, easily digestible, provide rapid energy, and improve growth rate and feed conversion ratio.

3. Repairs intestinal mucosa, alleviating stress from weaning, regrouping, and feed changes.

4. Improves body fat, reduces fatty liver, and enhances meat and egg quality.

Core Advantage: Replaces some antibiotics under reduced/banned antibiotic conditions, significantly reducing diarrhea rates.

III. Antimicrobial Peptide 

Source: Black soldier fly's own immune-active substances, well preserved under low-temperature processing.

Main Functions:

1. Broad-spectrum bactericidal effect, less likely to induce drug resistance.

2. Antiviral and antifungal, reducing secondary infections.

3. Anti-inflammatory and intestinal-protective, promoting mucosal repair.

4. Activates immune cells, enhancing overall disease resistance.

Characteristics: Good heat resistance; retains some activity after granulation. 

IV. Synergistic Value of the Three Components

1. Triple Gut Health Protection: Antimicrobial peptides for sterilization + Lauric acid for gut protection and energy supply + Chitin for regulating gut flora.

2. Comprehensive Immune Enhancement: Disease resistance, stress resistance, and reduced mortality.

3. Antibiotic-Reducing and Antibiotic-Alternative Core Ingredients: Natural and safe, no residues, no drug resistance.

4. Improved Production Performance: Promotes growth, reduces feed conversion ratio, and improves the quality of meat/egg/aquatic products.
