Regenerative sourcing loops
Locally sourced produce and organic material becomes BSFL feed, and partner farms receive mineral-rich compost for next-season crops.
Our origin story
We exist to create a virtuous cycle that extends animal health spans and preserves our natural resources.
White Eagle Nutrition was founded by a team that wanted better answers than conventional feed and fertilizer. We craft ethically-sourced, non-GMO BSFL-based foods that are science-backed, and intended to help animals thrive and ecosystmes flourish.
Mobility-first
Animal mobility is a core outcome we measure through diligent monitoring.
Herd outcomes
Animal cooperative programs continue to guide how we evaluate long-term herd health span progress.
Data-informed
Multi-species cohort tracking is performed to refine formulations and care protocols.
Our mission
Our mission is to create and continuously fulfill a virtuous cycle where nutrients recovered from organic material help animals thrive, and the resulting wellbeing fortifies soils, research, and community care.
- Co-create with regenerative farms to upcycle organic material into premium BSFL feed and return finished compost to their soils.
- Transform those inputs into species-specific routines guided by veterinary science and continuous data analysis.
- Equip animal caretakers with education that converts nutrition gains into longer health spans and calmer households.
- Reinvest time, revenue, and learnings into research grants, welfare partnerships, and infrastructure that accelerates the cycle.
How the virtuous cycle comes to life every day
We track each loop of the cycle to ensure it keeps delivering compounding benefits for animals, caretakers, and the planet. Here’s what that commitment looks like in practice.
2
Precision nutrient translation
Veterinary nutritionists, entomologists, and data scientists iterate formulations to align with species biology and peer-reviewed insights.
3
Guardian success pathways
Consults, grants, and feeding plans equip households, shelters, and barns to turn nutrition gains into resilient multi-species care.
4
Reinvestment with accountability
Savings fuel welfare grants, regenerative farming pilots, and co-published studies tracking digestibility, immunity, and lifecycle outcomes.
Guiding values
Animal-first formulating
We analyze species biology to deliver precise amino and fatty acid profiles for longevity.
Evidence obsessed
Our R&D team partners with universities to publish digestibility and immune studies on BSFL proteins.
Regenerative supply
Larvae are raised on upcycled produce in zero-waste facilities powered by renewable energy.
Accessible wellness
Nutrition bundles, community grants, and shelter partnerships keep animal wellness within reach.
