Discover Who We Are
8tins is a Zimbabwean livestock feed company focused on producing affordable, reliable, and locally sourced protein ingredient for livestock. The business was established to respond to rising feed costs, import dependence, and the growing need for practical feed solutions for urban and peri-urban livestock producers. Our work is grounded in the belief that animals perform best when fed in ways that reflect their natural eating habits, while farmers succeed when feed is consistent, accessible, and cost-effective.
What We Do
8tins produces Pa-morsh, a pioneering livestock feed ingredient formulated with Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae protein. Insects are a natural protein source for poultry and livestock, and Pa-morsh harnesses this biological advantage to support healthy growth, feed efficiency, and resilience across multiple species, including broilers, indigenous poultry, pigs, and goats. Production is supported by data-driven monitoring and analysis, allowing continuous improvement in feed performance and consistency.
These challenges particularly affect small-scale urban and peri-urban farmers, limiting production cycles and income potential. 8tins addresses this by offering locally produced protein feed, reducing exposure to imports while maintaining quality and performance.
