Description

GrubTerra Dried Larvae (1 lb) are a premium poultry treat made from dried black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), one of the most nutrient-dense and sustainable feed supplements available for chickens. Designed to complement your flock’s regular feed, these larvae provide a powerful boost of protein, calcium, and essential nutrients that support overall health and productivity.

Unlike traditional treats like mealworms, black soldier fly larvae naturally contain significantly higher calcium levels—making them especially valuable for laying hens and growing birds.

🐔 Why Black Soldier Fly Larvae Are Better

GrubTerra larvae offer key advantages over common poultry treats:

  • High protein to support muscle development and feather health
  • Naturally high calcium for stronger eggshells
  • Balanced fat content for sustained energy
  • Closer to a chicken’s natural diet (they naturally forage insects)

Many BSFL products provide dramatically more calcium than mealworms, helping improve egg quality and skeletal health in laying hens .

🌱 Sustainable & Clean Nutrition

GrubTerra larvae are raised using a sustainable process that converts food waste into high-quality animal nutrition, reducing environmental impact while producing a clean, nutrient-rich feed source .

✔ No unnecessary fillers
✔ No antibiotics or hormones
✔ Environmentally responsible production

✅ Key Benefits

1. Supports Strong Eggshells
High calcium content helps reduce soft or weak shells.

2. Improves Feather & Skin Health
Protein and fats support molting and feather regrowth.

3. Encourages Natural Behavior
Scatter feeding promotes scratching, pecking, and activity.

4. Boosts Flock Engagement
Great for training chickens to come when called.
