Farmers’ opinions sought on potential use of insect oil in calf milk replacers

A Veterinary Bioscience student at Harper Adams University is seeking farmers' opinions on replacing fat sources in calf milk replacers with insect oil.

Sophie Billingham is a final year student and this survey will form part of her dissertation.

She is looking for responses from all over the UK and Ireland, with the aim of building a broad picture of industry opinions to understand how insect oil is viewed, if it’s a viable option, and what motivates milk replacer use over whole milk. Ideal respondents include farm owners, farm workers, students, and anyone with recent experience of rearing calves.
