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 integrative nutritionists and insect agriculture experts who wanted better answers than conventional feed. We craft USA-sourced BSFL-based foods that are ethical, science-backed, and designed to keep rescued nutrients, thriving animals, and restored ecosystems reinforcing one another—from arthritic horses to aquatic turtles.

Our mission

Our mission is to create and continuously fulfill a virtuous cycle where upcycled nutrients become precision BSFL nutrition, animals thrive longer, and the resulting wellbeing fortifies soils, research, and community care.

  • Co-create with regenerative farms to upcycle food waste 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 guardians with consults and education that convert healthier animals into lighter vet bills 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.

1

Regenerative sourcing loops

More than 2.1M lbs of pre-consumer produce become BSFL feed annually, and partner farms receive mineral-rich compost for next-season crops.

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

Auto-ship bundles, community grants, and shelter partnerships keep animal wellness within reach.
