Abstract

It is predicted that by 2050, up to 15% of proteins will be produced by insects [1; 6; 7]. Fats and enzymes, as well as chitinous coatings, ingredients currently widely used in cosmetology and the chemical industry, are valuable by-products [3]. The advantages of enterprises aimed at using insects as productive animals are lower expenditure on feed, insects have a more flexible digestive system and highly active enzymes, which allows them to obtain maximum energy and nutrients even from not the highest quality feed [5]. The Argentine cockroach is superior to other productive insects in many respects, which may make it the most promising species for the development of industrial entomology.
