They are also an attractive food source to offer to your chickens and wild birds because they replicate an omnivorous or insectivorous natural diet. Mealworms also produce a by-product called “frass”, it’s really insect poop.

Insects like mealworms can provide significant benefits in the production of food and feed rich in natural protein for animal consumption. This is what inspired the name “INSECTCIBUS“. It’s a word made by blending two words. The first is “insect”, and the second is the Latin word “cibus”, which means food.
