The new full-scale plant in Alberta has exponentially increased Enterra Feed Corporation’s production capacity of insect-based pet food and feed ingredients.
EnviroFlight, a subsidiary of Darling Ingredients, will expand the facility by more than 173,000 square feet and add an estimated 40 jobs in Maysville.
The biotech pet food startup was one of 37 businesses to be awarded a grant through the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade’s Advanced Industries Accelerator Grant Program.
The two companies have partnered to tap further into the growing market for insect proteins in animal food as a sustainable and environmentally friendly option.
