Supplying the World's essential nutrients sustainably using genetic enhancement.
Why does ZaNe Genetics exist?
We are on a mission to transform the global food system. We aim to sustainably provide the essential nutrients our bodies need by harnessing the power of genetic engineering.
Our vision is to make "GMO" synonymous with improved health by developing organisms that are safe to eat and even healthier than non-GMO alternatives.
We're engineering the livestock of the future
We have created Omega Bugs, genetically enhanced black soldier flies (BSF) that produce essential omega-3 fatty acids. Omega Bugs will revolutionize aquaculture and livestock nutrition, leading to healthier and more nutritious animals while reducing the environmental impacts of livestock production.
Why us?
ZaNe Genetics brings decades of expertise in biochemistry, genetic engineering, and synthetic biology to solving today’s nutrition challenges. Our team has a proven track record of engineering organisms like our Omega Bugs—genetically modified black soldier flies that produce omega-3 fatty acids. Our innovations in cutting-edge fields like robotics, machine learning, and genetic engineering allow us to create sustainable, highly nutritious food and feed sources. Our passion for optimizing nutrition keeps us dedicated to creating food that genuinely promotes health.
Why BSF?
By incorporating Omega 3s into BSF, we are eliminating the reliance on traditional fish-based Omega 3 extraction methods. Supporting the production of black soldier flies as a protein source and Omega 3 source has other sustainable benefits. They feed on recycled organic materials (compost) produce fertilizer, and require far less resources including water and land to produce.
BSF protein is a powerhouse of nutrition, offering a highly digestible and complete amino acid profile. It surpasses whey and soy protein alternatives in sustainability and nutritional diversity. BSF protein is rich in beneficial lipids, antimicrobial peptides, and micronutrients like calcium and iron, providing a more comprehensive nutritional package than conventional protein sources. This makes it an exceptional choice for aquaculture, livestock and pet nutrition, supporting health and sustainability simultaneously.
