Theoretical justification for the layout of an industrial complex for the content of Blaptica dubia for the purpose of obtaining feed and food products
It is predicted that by 2050, up to 15% of proteins will be produced by insects [1; 6; 7]. Fats and enzymes, as well as chitinous coatings, ingredients currently widely used in cosmetology and the chemical industry, are valuable by-products [3]. The advantages of enterprises aimed at using insects as productive animals are lower expenditure on feed, insects have a more flexible digestive system and highly active enzymes, which allows them to obtain maximum energy and nutrients even from not the highest quality feed [5]. The Argentine cockroach is superior to other productive insects in many respects, which may make it the most promising species for the development of industrial entomology.
