• Golden Grubs (BSFL) offer a significantly better nutritional profile compared to mealworms, making them a superior choice for poultry and wild birds. One of the most notable differences is their calcium content—Golden Grubs contain up to 85 times more calcium than mealworms. This high calcium level is critical for supporting egg-laying hens as it ensures strong eggshells and reduces the risk of calcium deficiencies, which can lead to conditions like egg binding or brittle bones. Mealworms, on the other hand, fall short in calcium, limiting their effectiveness in supporting optimal egg production and skeletal health.
• Another advantage of Golden Grubs is their balanced nutrient profile. They provide a carefully regulated ratio of protein, fat, and essential micronutrients like phosphorus, iron, copper and amino acids. This balanced composition promotes the overall well-being of your flock, helping to boost immunity, maintain energy levels and ensure healthy growth. In contrast, mealworms are higher in fat and offer less nutritional variety, which can contribute to excess weight and provide less sustained energy.
• From a food safety perspective, Golden Grubs have a distinct edge. They are naturally resistant to common pathogens, reducing the risk of contamination and disease transmission to your flock. This natural pathogen resistance comes from the biochemistry of BSFL and the controlled environment in which they are raised. Mealworms, on the other hand, are more vulnerable to carrying diseases if they are not raised or stored under ideal conditions, posing a potential risk to.
