How to raise bread worms

Bread worms can be used as feed, can also be eaten, rich in protein, known as "protein feed treasure house", has been welcomed by many farmers and consumers, so how to raise bread worms?

1. Equipment: cartons, basin tanks, cement pools, etc., require the inner wall to be smooth and more than 15 cm deep to prevent worms from crawling outside. Now the ideal feeding equipment is to use a square wooden box, which can be nailed into a square wooden box with plywood at the bottom and glued around with wide adhesive tape to make the inner walls of the box smooth and prevent bugs from crawling outside.

two。 Feed: bread insects eat a wide range of food sources, in artificial breeding, in order to produce yellow powder insects as soon as possible, you can throw wheat bran, corn flour, bean cake, carrots, vegetable leaves, melon peel and so on, as well as formula feed for chickens to increase nutrition.

3. Temperature: the breadworm is more hardy, the overwintering mature larvae can endure-2 ℃, while the young larvae die in large numbers at about 0 ℃, 2 ℃ is its survival limit, 10 ℃ is the starting point for development, hibernating above 8 ℃, 25 ℃-30 ℃ is the suitable temperature range, the fastest growth and development is 32 ℃, but it is easy to get disease when exposed to high temperature for a long time, and will die if it exceeds 32 ℃.

4. Humidity: bread worms are drought-resistant and can survive in feed with a water content of less than 10%. In a dry environment, the growth and development is slow, the worm is reduced, and a lot of feed is wasted. The ideal feed water content is 15%. The humidity is 50%, 80%. If the feed water content exceeds 18%, the air humidity exceeds 85%, the growth and development slows down, and it is easy to get sick, especially the moth is most likely to get sick. If the breeding room is too dry, clear water can be sprinkled, and the humidity is too high to be ventilated in time. The water content of Tenebrio Molitor is 48%, 50%.

5. Light: bread worms are active and active day and night, and do not need sunlight. Female adults lay more eggs in darker places than in strong light.

6. Diseases: the most common diseases of bread insects are dry blight and rot. Pay attention to them in the process of feeding. If there are any diseases and insects, it is best to pick them out and throw them away in time.

7. Others: indoor farming should be able to prevent rats, birds, geckos, ants, etc., and to prevent direct sunlight and air pollution and excessive noise. Also pay attention to ventilation, the temperature in the four seasons should be controlled above 20 degrees below 35 degrees on it.

The feeding method of bread worms is very simple, and the speed of reproduction is relatively fast. But raising breadworms must pay attention to escape, otherwise it will be everywhere and troublesome.
