In the mealworm processing, through expansion, ultrafine powdering, followed by ultrasonic treatment with chitosan solution, combined with the extraction modification agent of montmorillonite and bran, and one-stage and two-stage stirring treatment, through the combined stirring, the improved and optimized mealworm processing has excellent application effects in feed for animals, and the nutritional substances of the mealworms are easily absorbed by animals.

This utility model relates to the field of mealworm transportation and storage technology, and discloses a mealworm transportation and storage device, including a base plate, a frame, and a support assembly. The frame is connected to the base plate and has an opening relative to the base plate. The opening of the frame has multiple corners. The support assembly includes at least one support part, which is disposed at the corner of the frame and diagonally spans the opening of the frame. When the mealworm transportation and storage devices are stacked, the base plate of the upper mealworm transportation and storage device abuts against the support part of the lower mealworm transportation and storage device. Because the support part is disposed at the corner of the frame and diagonally spans the opening of the frame, even if there is a small angle misalignment between the upper and lower mealworm transportation and storage devices, the base plate of the upper mealworm transportation and storage device can still abut against the frame of the lower mealworm transportation and storage device through the support part, so that multiple mealworm transportation and storage devices can be stacked stably, reducing the difficulty of stacking mealworm transportation and storage devices.

This invention relates to the field of image recognition technology and proposes a method and system for grading vegetable waste and adapting it to insect feed based on image recognition. The method includes: radiometric calibration of hyperspectral image data to obtain a spectral image cube; extracting chromatic space deviation feature values ​​and short-wave infrared absorption peak curvature feature values ​​from the cube; performing pixel-level matching to obtain the overall spoilage level; when the overall spoilage level is "fresh and tender," performing spectral angle matching between the reflectance of the soluble sugar feature band and the palatability benchmark spectral library of yellow mealworms to obtain a first set of feed processing parameters; when it is "semi-rotten," comparing the spectral characteristics of the lignin-to-cellulose ratio with the feeding preference spectral range of white-spotted flower beetle larvae to obtain a second set of feed processing parameters; when it is "deeply rotten," generating a third set of feed processing parameters; and outputting the corresponding parameter sets to a feed formulation terminal to obtain the final feed adaptation scheme. This invention can improve the efficiency of grading vegetable waste and adapting it to insect feed.

This utility model discloses a mealworm rearing box, comprising a multi-level rearing box with a protective top cover. The multi-level rearing box includes a feces storage box and a mealworm rearing box, with the mealworm rearing box positioned above the feces storage box. This utility model provides a mealworm rearing box that, by setting up a multi-level rearing box, divides the mealworm rearing box into a feces storage box and a mealworm rearing box. During rearing, only feed needs to be placed inside the mealworm rearing box, and the mealworm feces automatically fall into the rearing box. Cleaning only requires removing the feces storage box separately, thus effectively improving the efficiency of feces and residue removal and avoiding mortality caused by moving mealworms during cleaning.

This invention relates to an enzymatically hydrolyzed protein composition as a substitute for fishmeal and its preparation method, belonging to the field of feed technology. The enzymatically hydrolyzed protein composition comprises the following raw materials: animal protease hydrolysate, brewer's yeast extract, bile acids, sodium butyrate, sodium selenite, and fructooligosaccharides. This application selects cricket powder and defatted mealworm powder as animal protein sources. Simultaneously, chitinase, alkaline protease, and neutral protease are used sequentially to enzymatically hydrolyze the cricket and mealworm complex. The cricket powder and defatted mealworm powder after enzymatic hydrolysis effectively eliminate anti-nutritional factors in the original insect feed, and have high protein utilization, effectively releasing nutrients and improving nutritional value. Based on this, brewer's yeast extract and bile acids are added for compounding, which synergistically promotes weight gain and growth in aquatic animals. Furthermore, this application uses sodium butyrate, sodium selenite, and fructooligosaccharides in combination, which effectively gives the prepared composition significant antioxidant effects from different dimensions.

This invention relates to the field of bioprotective materials technology and discloses a composite insect-repellent and mildew-proof coating liquid. The core antibacterial and insecticidal components are a blend of clove bud essential oil, garlic essential oil, and Australian tea tree essential oil. A composite surfactant is prepared using castor oil polyoxyethylene ether, transparent hydrogenated castor oil, and ethanol, which is then emulsified to obtain a composite essential oil emulsion. This emulsion is then blended with a shellac coating liquid to obtain the coating liquid. Through the synergistic effects of essential oil blending, emulsion stabilization, and shellac film-forming slow release, this invention achieves long-lasting 100% anti-mildew efficacy against Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma viride, and Penicillium citrinum, as well as 100% contact killing effect on mealworm larvae within 2 days. It also features uniform film formation, strong adhesion, long protection period, low essential oil dosage, mild odor, green and residue-free operation, and simple and easily scalable processing. It can be widely used for long-lasting insect and mildew protection in mycelial materials, food storage, agricultural product preservation, and feed storage.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a mealworm fecal extract, and use thereof.

In addition, the mealworm feces extract of the present invention contains humic acid-like substances, and thus is expected to be capable of being a replacement in the conventional humic acid market.

This utility model relates to an automated insect eclosion device, comprising a pupa storage mechanism, an adult insect support mechanism, a rotating mechanism, a vibrating mechanism, and a frame. The adult insect support mechanism is located on top of the pupa storage mechanism, with one end movably connected to the frame. One end of the rotating mechanism is installed with the frame, and the other end is installed with the adult insect support mechanism. A certain distance exists between the frame and the pupa storage mechanism, forming a space for insects to fall. The vibrating mechanism is installed with either the frame or the adult insect support mechanism. This utility model, with its core structure of spatial isolation, dynamic guidance, and flexible detachment, solves three major pain points in traditional insect eclosion: adult insect damage, manual dependence, and low efficiency. It provides strong support for the large-scale breeding of holometabolous insects such as yellow mealworms, black mealworms, and breadworms.

This invention belongs to the field of animal husbandry and deep processing of agricultural products, specifically relating to a method and its application for cultivating low-cadmium, selenium-rich mealworms using cadmium-containing feed. Specifically, this invention involves adding a low concentration of selenium to a cadmium-containing bran and rice bran feed to raise 3rd-4th instar mealworms. In the later stages of rearing, the mealworms are transferred to a selenium-only feed for cadmium removal, ensuring that the cadmium content in the mealworms does not exceed relevant standards and achieving the goal of efficiently treating cadmium-containing agricultural waste and obtaining low-cadmium, selenium-rich mealworm products. Finally, lipids in the mealworm powder are extracted in one step using low-boiling-point petroleum ether to obtain low-cadmium, selenium-rich mealworm protein powder. In summary, this invention is simple, low-cost, and can efficiently process cadmium-containing materials while simultaneously yielding low-cadmium, selenium-rich, high-quality mealworm products and mealworm protein powder, without affecting mealworm yield. It achieves multiple benefits and has good practical application value.
