Maltento (Pty) Ltd

This weekend, the world takes a moment to celebrate the power of science with World Science Day on Sunday. At Maltento, we love to apply our scientific research & findings towards the development of sustainable, functional palatability enhancement solutions that will create an improved feed experience for your pets and fish as well as a better planet for future generations 🌍 We remain particularly inspired by the potential of insect biotechnology. The little Black Soldier Fly, and its larvae, play a key role in the production of sustainable, high-protein ingredients that contribute to healthier animals, a more resilient ecosystem, and regenerative agricultural practices 🌱 Here’s to the ongoing journey of discovery and innovation, through science 🔍 #WorldScienceDay #SustainableScience #Innovation #InsectBiotechnology #Maltento #ScienceForSustainability #Insect #Protein #Global #Functional #Impact 

I'm looking forward to traveling to Germany for EuroTier next week. Please DM me if you want to learn more about our functional ingredients. Our EU-grade ingredients include digest to boost #feedintake, #insectmeal, and #WDL. Let me show you why you should consider insects beyond just a sustainable protein ingredient.

Maltento is now the proud distributor of premium, high-protein, Calci Worms to wild bird feed suppliers and petfood companies across the UK & European Union (EU) 🎉 Our golden Calci Worms, produced at our state-of-the-art insect production facility in the City of Cape Town, leverages the biotechnology of the Black Soldier Fly to produce golden dried larvae for wild bird feed that contains 45% protein and 27% fat (significantly more than the general dried larvae being imported from the East) 👏🏽 The product we’ve destined for export provides distributors in the EU & UK with a nutrient-dense, sustainable feed solution for wild birds. With less than 30 days required for shipment, European suppliers now have access to a natural, traceable, and eco-friendly product that supports overall bird health and environmental sustainability, keeping their birds happy and healthy during the European winter ❄️ #EU #UK #MarketAccess #Insect #Biotechnology #Protein #BSF #Sustainability #Circular #Economy #WildBird #Feed #Innovation #UN #SDGs

2024 marks a turning point for insect-based pet food, and Maltento is proud to be at the forefront of this revolution at a global level 🐾 By diverting over 500,000 kg of agro-processing waste each month and scaling to 600,000 kg, we’re not just reducing landfill waste in South Africa — we’re transforming it into high-value, eco-friendly nutrition for pets and aquaculture 🐟🐶 With ongoing state-of-the-art facility upgrades and reliable shipping to the EU and UK, we’re set to increase production capacity from 120 to 300 metric tons by mid-2025, fueling the soaring demand for insect protein across the world.   The future of sustainable pet food is here, and you can read about the role we are playing in this revolution by clicking the link below ⬇️ #Sustainability #BSF #CalciWorms #Insect #Protein #Pet #Nutrition #Innovation #Maltento #EcoFriendly #UN #SDGs Howarth Winterbrook Ltd | CJ Wildlife | Vivara/CJ Wildbird Foods | Kinlys Group NV | THOMAS MAWER LIMITED | GlobalPETS (& PETS International magazine)
