Abstract: In the context of the mass invasion of locusts, which causes significant damage to agriculture in Kazakhstan, its capture and processing of protein flour becomes especially relevant as an effective method of pest control and obtaining an additional protein resource. The product based on this insect is an innovative solution capable of compensating for the deficit in the country's feed production. The goal is to study the economic benefits and possibilities of using locust flour in the feed industry. Methods - to identify trends, problems in the use of protein flour from akpids, as well as to confirm the relevance of the topic content – analysis, analytical - when conducting a comparative analysis of resource costs for obtaining a protein component from various sources, monographic – to generalize the theoretical foundations and environmental aspects of the use of dry biomass in feed production, abstract-logistic - when considering problematic questions on the topic under study and justify ways to solve them. Results - it has been shown that the production of the grasshopper protein ingredient is economically beneficial. Foreign experience shows that in addition to its natural production, insectorfermanism is widely developed, which contributes to the expansion of the technological process. Conclusions - investment in terms of rational use of resources, environmental control and maintenance of economic efficiency collection and industrial processing of this representative of the Insecta class instead of chemical destruction, which reduces damage to ecosystems and ensures the release of valuable feed products rich in proteins and vitamins. For the effective use of these pests for forage purposes, it is necessary to adapt foreign technologies and methods for the purpose of training, scientific support, certification of farmers, rapid introduction into the agricultural sector.
