Artificial feeding method for yellow mealworms

Abstract

The invention discloses an artificial feeding method for yellow mealworms, which relates to a breeding technology. The artificial feeding method for the yellow mealworms is characterized by comprising the following steps of: a. field selection: selecting a house which is out of the wind, is exposed to the sun, is warm in winter and cold in summer and has no strong light rays, and maintaining the temperature to be 15-35 DEG C and the relative humidity to be 60-75 percent for keeping warm; b. seed selection: selecting a large old and mature larva individual from larvae as a seed larva, wherein the larva which has the advantages of strong viability, rapidness in creeping, strong response to illumination, darkness liking and strong body surface and can quickly creep to feed when meeting vegetable leaves or fruit peels is used as the seed larva, and the full seed larva body has a golden color and bright body surface; and c. feeding: collecting ovum, hatching the ovum, feeding and screening fecula. The breeding method disclosed by the invention is easy to master and has high economic benefits, and the bred yellow mealworms are large in individuals, have rich nutrition and grow rapidly.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to breeding technology, in particular to a method for artificially raising Tenebrio molitor. Background technique

[0002] Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus (also known as Tenebrio molitor, commonly known as mealworm and dry shrimp) belongs to Coleoptera of Coleoptera, Pseudocariaceae, and Tenebrio. Tenebrio molitor adults are about 18mm long, flat, oblong, dark brown, and shiny: the larvae are needleworm-type, the newly hatched larvae are white, and later turn yellowish brown, the back and front edges of each node are light brown, and the internodes and ventral surface are light yellow White, mature larva body length 28-33mm. Tenebrio molitor is a warehouse pest distributed all over the world. Because it is rich in protein (the protein content of larvae is 48%-59%), it is a high-quality animal protein source with high nutritional value and a wide range of feed sources. The feed conversion rate is high, the production cost is low, and i...
