INSECTS ARE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
“Insects have many advantages over other foods, they grow and reproduce easily, have a high feed conversion efficiency since they are cold-blooded and can be raised with bio-waste. One kilo of insect biomass can be produced from about 2 kilos of waste “

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
For the environmentally conscious pet parent, insect-based pet foods present an exciting prospect. Conventional factory farming requires huge quantities of energy, water and land. Additionally, there are serious concerns about the welfare of livestock and their pollutant effects.
Cats cannot survive on vegetarian diets, so cats rely on novel protein diets or foods made from hydrolyzed proteins. There are many types of cat food and dog food currently available for pets who react to common allergens, but more options, like insect-based pet food, are always welcome.
In addition to being a good source of protein, insects also contain fat, fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. Insects are a natural source of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs); ancient evolutionary weapons effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
When using meat protein the environmental impact of your pets is shot through the air since large amounts of water are used, esplanades of land and high emission of greenhouse gases. Our insects grow in a controlled environment, feeding on organic waste, reducing the emission of greenhouse gases into the environment.
80% of the world’s antibiotics are used in animal husbandry and hormones are used to make animals grow faster. Our insects grow free of hormones and antibiotics in an optimal space for their development, naturally transforming organic waste into nutrients, fats and minerals.
Common meat-based pet foods mostly use the worst cuts and scraps, delivering poor nutrition and high environmental impact. Our insects pack high protein, mineral and fat content, being an excellent source of calcium, chitin and omega 6, strengthening joints, coat roots and improving digestion.
Together with nutritionists and veterinary experts’ team we develop a full and nature formula for your cat’s health with insect protein premix that can lowering the environmental impact to our planet.
Did you know, plastic packaging that is used for pet food can take up to 450 years to decompose.
Our packaging is biodegradable, reused, recyclable, and eco-friendly. Tera’s mission is to reduce pets’ carbon footprint and reduce plastic packaging pollution to our planet.
