After an intensive period of engineering, building and testing at Mavitec Heerhugowaard, the Amusca HF-Larvae Breeding Unit has arrived at Aeres MBO Barneveld in Barneveld. The unit is installed near Poultry Innovation Lab of Poultry Expertise Centre. This innovative on-the-spot production-unit is able to produce 1 ton of larvae per day and enables poultry farms to take a big step towards sustainability. Make the most out of the enormous potential of insects by using smart technology: a revolutionary idea of Amusca, made by Mavitec.
