Research and development
The bioconversion process requires ongoing studies and experiments to analyse substrates, manage the life cycle of insects and their derivative products, monitor industrial breeding programmes and ward off biological risks.
The black soldier fly and feed production are but the first steps in a fascinating scientific development journey.
The selection of specialised insect genotypes and the study of their possible uses in agriculture, food, the circular economy, soil improvers production, biological pest control, and the selection of chemical products are at the focus of our research studies, of which we propose summary data sheets.
The virtuous circle of nutrition
From animal well-being to human and planetary well-being: the holistic One Health model based on the understanding that human health, animal health, and ecosystem health are inextricably linked.
Administration of live soldier fly larvae, degreased meal and soldier fly fat in the weaning, leaning and fattening stages of pigs.
Evaluate use of live larvae as enrichment at the weaning stage. Evaluate use of degrassed soldier fly meal in the feeding of leaning and fattening pigs
Adult behavior as the next frontier for optimizing industrial production of the black soldier fly Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae)
Published in Journal of Insects as Food and Feed.
Evaluation of the use of frass as vine fertilizer for wine production
Goals:
Evaluation of frass (fly larvae rearing residue) as a fertilizer.
Evaluation of chitosan as an elicitor for grapevine plants.
Agriculture according to Nicola Radice Fossati
When people talk about Radice Fossati, they are talking about three hundred years of farming in the heart of Lomellina, a land of rice in western Lombardy. Nicola is the representative of the current generation in charge and feels all the responsibility.
