Formula of artificial feed for armyworm larvae and combined packaging and using method of artificial feed

Abstract

The invention discloses an artificial feed for armyworm larvae as well as packaging and using methods of the artificial feed. The artificial feed is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by mass: 0.8-0.9% of agar, 0.1-0.2% of potassium sorbate, 0.05-0.08% of sodium methyl niplatin, 4-6% of wheat bran, 4-6% of corn straw powder, 1-2% of yeast, 0.5-0.8% of glucose, 0.4-0.5% of vitamin C and the balance of water. The prepared artificial feed for the armyworms has the advantages that the armyworms like to eat the artificial feed, nutrition needed by the armyworms in all stages can be guaranteed, and the survival rate, the pupation rate and the hatching rate in the artificial feeding process are guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a formula of an artificial diet for armyworm larvae and a method for combining, encapsulating and using the same, and belongs to the technical field of artificial breeding of insects. Background technique [0002] Armyworm is a polyphagous and explosive pest, which once caused serious damage to food crops in my country. Many scientific researchers have conducted a lot of research on it, controlled its population size, and greatly reduced the level of harm. In the process of studying the biological characteristics of armyworms, artificial diets have been developed that can meet the amount of insects used under laboratory conditions. The study also found that although armyworm is a pest of food crops, it is also a resource insect. Armyworm can be used as a good substitute prey for predatory stinkbug natural enemies insects, and can be used as feed for pets (birds, fish, turtles, rats, etc.). At the same time, armyworm pupa is ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the feed used in large-scale farming adopts the following two methods. One is to purchase from feed processing enterprises, and the feed is prepared and mixed by the feed processing enterprise before being packaged and sold; The formula is weighed one by one, self-preparation, there are problems in both methods

First, the prepared artificial feed contains a large amount of water and is in a solid state, requiring a large storage space and high transportation costs

The second method is to weigh each raw material one by one and store them separately, which takes time and containers

Different operators have different preparation habits, resulting in different feed quality. For example, agar should be added slowly and stirred continuously to disperse evenly, otherwise there will be agglomeration; if the yeast is added too late, the activity of the yeast will not be inhibited , it is easy to cause sour feed in the later stage of fermentation; if vitamins are added too early and the temperature is too high, some vitamins will lose their original functions
