To be the number one bioconversion research and sustainable animal feed producers in the world.
Established in 2012, Khepri is an award-winning bioconversion company based in South Africa.
Khepri Biosciences was born out of the need to address the environmental effects of eutrophication of river systems caused by agricultural runoff. This pollution threatens the purity of our water systems in South Africa – a country with limited water resources.
We have developed a unique technology for on-site processing of organic waste…
Our Story
We are committed to reducing the reliance on fish meal as a food source in farming as this is an unsustainable resource and has resulted in the decline of fish stock. The rising cost of fishmeal has also made access to high-quality feed for emerging monogastric animal farmers difficult. By turning food waste into high-quality animal feed, we provide a sustainable solution that is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective – while protecting marine life at the same time.
What we do
We provide sustainable solutions using entomology, engineering and biotechnology for sectors in agriculture, health and research.
Our offerings:
- Animal feed products

Technology
Khepri Biosciences has developed a unique technology for on-site processing of organic waste produced by food manufacturers, abattoirs and the hospitality sector. The waste is recycled to breed insects that are converted into low-cost, premium animal feed and high-quality organic fertilizer. This technology reduces waste volumes by up to 65% while decreasing waste management costs.
