LoopFeed™ Technology

Fermentation-Based Bioprocessing for Circular Livestock Nutrition

LoopFeed™ is SheFarms' proprietary system for transforming agro processing residues into nutritionally-optimised livestock feed — developed through institutional research partnerships, scientifically validated, and designed to scale across West Africa.

The Circular Business Model

A complete circular system: agricultural processors supply co products, SheFarms' bioprocessing transforms them into premium feed, and farmers access quality nutrition at significantly lower cost. Every stakeholder gains; nothing is wasted.

Co product sourcing from local processors
Local production hub — Ikorodu, Lagos
Farmer distribution network
Revenue generation at every stage
Community-driven scaling model
Carbon impact monitoring from pilot stage
Carbon credit revenue pathway development from 2027 — valorising waste diversion and reduced feed emissions

How It Works

The LoopFeed™ Process

Collection & Preparation

Agro processing residues are sourced from local farms, mills, and agribusinesses. Materials are assessed, sorted, and prepared for bioprocessing under controlled conditions.

Sourcing

Bioprocessing

Controlled fermentation breaks down complex compounds and enhances digestibility. Precision fortification introduces essential nutrients. The output is feed with optimised protein, energy, and mineral profiles — validated through our KNUST research partnership.

Science Backed

Quality & Distribution

Each production run is assessed for nutritional content, consistency, and feed safety. Approved feed is packaged and distributed through our LoopFeed™ network to partner farmers in our programme.

Source Materials

Agro Processing Residues We Transform

LoopFeed™ is designed to work with the agricultural residues and agro processing residues most prevalent across West African farming systems — locally-available, underutilised, and nutritionally valuable.

Designed for Impact

Projected Benefits of the LoopFeed™ System

25%

Feed Cost Reduction Target

By utilising locally-available co products rather than imported ingredients, LoopFeed™ is designed to deliver feed at up to 25% below conventional market prices.

40%

Projected Carbon Reduction

Circular bioprocessing is projected to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of feed production vs. conventional alternatives — intercepting methane-generating waste streams and reducing Scope 3 feed emissions for farmers. Carbon impact monitoring begins at pilot stage; credit pathway development planned from 2027.

400

Farmers in Lagos Programme

Our Ikorodu, Lagos programme engages 400 smallholder livestock farmers as the first real-world deployment of the LoopFeed™ circular feed system.

Validated Nutrition

Formulations developed to meet nutritional requirements for poultry, swine, and ruminants through precision fortification and quality protocols confirmed with KNUST.

Science Backed

Research Partnership & Validation

From the outset, SheFarms has embedded scientific rigour through collaboration with a leading West African agricultural research university. This ensures our bioprocessing formulations are nutritionally sound, our quality protocols are strong, and our system is designed to perform reliably at scale.

Our research partnership is not a footnote — it is the foundation of everything LoopFeed™ claims to do.

Co Development Partner

Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology (KNUST)

Collaborative research across bioprocessing optimisation, nutritional analysis, and feed safety protocols. KNUST researchers developed the core fermentation formulations and conducted all laboratory validation.

Quality Standards

Testing & Quality Protocols

Nutritional content, feed safety, moisture, and consistency are assessed across production runs. Standards are designed to meet livestock requirements across poultry, swine, and ruminant species.
