FERTILIZER CALCULATIONS:
INSECTS:
In this video by Entomo farms, owner Darrin Goldin says a full harvest of one of their barns produces about 2500lbs of crickets and 2000lbs of frass. [ @ 5:20
2500lbs of crickets should have 1500lbs of protein in it (assuming 60% protein when dry)
so 1500 lbs of protein for every 2000lbs dry fertilizer, or a 3/4 ratio
COWS:
A beef cow produces about 75lbs of manure a day [] (more for dairy cows)
According to the Journal of Dairy Science, about 85% of this manure is water, so they make of dry weight manure a day.
A cow produces approx. 440lbs of beef, about 25% of which is protein, so 110lbs of protein in a lifetime
according to the USDA, cows are slaughtered at 30-42 months old, assuming 36 months average []
110lbs of protein over 36 months = lbs of protein a month, or about lbs of protein a day
So in a day, a cow produces of dry manure a day, and lbs of protein a day
Comparing these ratios of dry weight manure to protein we get:
COWS: / =
INSECTS: 4 / 3 =
