Dear Mrs. Guttierrez,
I would like to thank you very much for that
comprhensive mail of the composition of all the
substances in worms. It has really helped. I would
like to make another request. I was wondering wether
you would know anything about growing certain worms
that are high in protein, energy, amino acids, etc.
and then drying them after harvesting for the
production of feed for poultry and fish. We are
experiencing high costs when it comes to feed for fish
and poultry and would like to reduce the costs by
growing worms on a commercial scale. I would greatly
appreciate any help or advice you might like to affer.
I thank you once again for replying to my previous
mail.

Yours faithfully,
Joseph Abboud.
