A kind of artificial diet of stag beetle larvae

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of insect breeding, in particular to an artificial feed for stag beetle larvae. The artificial feed for the stag beetle larvae is prepared from, by weight, 86%-88% of raw wood chips, 8%-10% of wheat bran, 1.0%-1.2% of sucrose, 0.8%-1.0% of calcined gypsum powder for medicine and 1.8%-2.2% of silkworm pupae powder. The artificial feed for the stag beetle larvae has the advantages that nutritional biology discussion on the stag beetle larvae and bacteria screening and proportioning of the artificial feed are conducted, the result can provide the basis for developing an artificial formula feed suitable for nutrition needed by normal growth and development of the stag beetle larvae, guidance is provided for optimizing a feed formula, healthy and stable development of the stag beetle breeding industry in China is pushed, the situation that in the insect crafts market, demand exceeds supply for a long time is relieved, and a breeding platform is provided for domestic cherish stag beetle breeding and young stage recording. Meanwhile, the silkworm pupae powder is introduced into the formula fed, and new sales and utilization markets are developed for the silkworm pupae powder.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of insect breeding, in particular to an artificial feed for stag beetle larvae. Background technique [0002] Stag beetle, commonly known as stag beetle, pinch beetle, belongs to Insecta, Coleoptera, stag beetle family (Lucanidae). There are more than 1,000 species in the world, nearly two-thirds of the species are distributed in Asia, and one-quarter of the species are distributed in China. The stag beetle is a holometabolous insect, and its life cycle includes four forms: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The stag beetle habitat is relatively single, mainly living in broad-leaved forest or mixed forest. Most species are distributed in subtropics and tropics. There are few species of stag beetle in northern my country, but there are many species in southern provinces. Stag beetle larvae are saprophytic, live on tree stumps and their roots, and feed on fungus-carrying rotten wood. Adults feed on nectar, tree sap and r...

Problems solved by technology

Under artificial feeding conditions, the larvae are mostly implanted with rotten wood chips, but the mortality rate is extremely high

[0003] At present, the most commonly used feed for stag beetle larvae is still fermented wood chips. However, due to the poor palatability and low nutrition of fermented wood chips, the mortality rate of stag beetle larvae remains high and the adult size is relatively small.

However, although the nutritional structure of natural rotten wood or sawdust is relatively comprehensive, natural rotten wood resources are limited, the supply cannot be guaranteed, and it is inconvenient to use (need to clean up miscellaneous insects). Moreover, natural rotten wood itself carries germs, which is easy to cause the spread of diseases and cannot adapt to the scale of farming. expanding trend

Most of the inoculated wood is the wood section after the mushroom has grown. Due to the different types of inoculation, there are certain pesticide residues. The mortality rate of stag beetle larvae is not low, and the quality of adults after breeding is quite different, and there is a probability of defective products. Higher, it is unfavorable to finely manage the growth of stag beetle larvae
