Bulk Dried Crickets Wholesale Chinese Manufacturer
As a leading Chinese wholesale manufacturer of bulk dried crickets, we supply premium-grade Acheta domesticus and Gryllus bimaculatus to global buyers across the pet food, aquaculture, poultry feed, and human edible insect markets. Dried crickets have rapidly emerged as one of the most commercially significant insect protein sources worldwide, driven by their exceptional nutritional density, low environmental footprint, and broad regulatory acceptance in key import markets including the EU, USA, Canada, and Southeast Asia. China's established insect farming infrastructure, combined with rigorous food-safety processing standards, positions our facility as a reliable, scalable, and cost-competitive source for distributors, pet retailers, feed manufacturers, and research institutions seeking consistent bulk supply of dried cricket products at competitive factory-direct pricing.
What Are Bulk Dried Crickets?
Bulk dried crickets are whole or processed specimens of house crickets (Acheta domesticus) or banded crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus) that have been harvested at full adult or sub-adult stage, cleaned, heat-treated, and dehydrated to a moisture content of 8% or below. Classified under Order Orthoptera, Family Gryllidae, these insects are globally recognized as a safe, sustainable, and high-protein commodity for animal nutrition and human consumption applications.
Dried Crickets Breeding and Rearing Process
Our crickets are raised in climate-controlled indoor facilities maintained at 28–32°C with 60–70% relative humidity, ensuring optimal growth rates and biosecurity. Colonies are fed a certified, pesticide-free grain-based diet throughout their 6–8 week life cycle. Prior to harvest, a 48-hour gut-loading or fasting protocol is applied. Harvested crickets undergo blanching at 95°C for pathogen elimination, followed by continuous-belt hot-air drying at 70–80°C to achieve shelf-stable moisture levels below 8%, and are then sorted, graded, and vacuum-packed or bulk-bagged to order specifications.
Dried Crickets Biological Specifications
Adult Acheta domesticus specimens measure 18–25 mm in body length, while Gryllus bimaculatus adults reach 25–35 mm. On a dry matter basis, our bulk dried crickets deliver crude protein content of 62–68%, crude fat of 18–22%, chitin fiber of 5–8%, and ash below 5%. Calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is approximately 1:8. Shelf life under vacuum-sealed, ambient storage conditions is 18–24 months. Custom size grades (small, medium, large, and powder/flour) are available for different end-use requirements.
