The one thing going against them is price: insect protein is two to three times more expensive than fishmeal, and many times pricierthan soy.

昆虫蛋白的价格比鱼粉高出2到3倍，比大豆高出好几倍。

For that reason, says Antoine Hubert, ceo of YNSECT, a mealworm (beetle larvae) firm, insect protein will probably be used only in premium meat at first.

YNSECT是一家粉虫（甲虫幼虫）公司，其首席执行官安托万·休伯特表示，昆虫蛋白最初可能只会用于优质肉类。

A new EU law authorising the use of insect protein in poultry and pig feed came into force earlier this month, a significant milestone for an industry keen to worm its way into the animal-feed business.

本月初，一项允许在家禽和猪饲料中使用昆虫蛋白的新法律在欧盟生效。对于一个渴望进入动物饲料行业的行业来说，这是一个重要的里程碑。
