Black Soldier Fly Breeds that improve your company's on-farm productivity

Leading Breeding Programme

We score and select for multiple quantity traits in parallel, for egg, larval and fly traits. In this way, we increase gain whilst minimizing trade-off in trait performance.

Satisfying industry needs

We engage directly with our industry to understand the overall trends and requirements of producers, which informs our breeding programme. If you have trait suggestions, you’re always welcome to get in touch.

A genetics partner with singular focus

We believe in sector-specialization. We solely focus on developing and distributing genetics to producers. In doing so, we are your partner in achieving scale.

HiPerFly Logo

Our flagship product, HiPer-Fly®️ is bred with a main focus on quantity traits that increase producer yield. 

We select for these traits in parallel within our breeding programme, whilst monitoring for performance trade-offs and in-breeding depression. We regularly evaluate our trait portfolio to ensure existing traits remain relevant, whilst including new quantitative and qualitative traits that increase Black Soldier Fly performance and functionality as an ingredient.
