Heating skills of Tenebrio Molitor Culture

In cold weather, the breeding of Tenebrio Molitor needs to be heated, otherwise, it will hibernate. If adults and pupae are not heated, the adults will not lay eggs or the pupae will not be able to Eclosion and die.

Select heating equipment according to feeding scale

The choice of equipment for heating is related to the cost and heating effect, because the cost of using electric furnace and air conditioner is too high. Generally, small-scale aquaculture uses closed furnace and coal as fuel. The heating furnace should be processed in a professional processing factory in order to achieve the effect of coal saving and heat dissipation. The advantage of closed furnace heating is that the source of fuel is wide and simple, while the disadvantage is that if carbon monoxide leaks out, it will lead to the death of bugs.

Where there are conditions, sawn wood or straw can be used for fuel heating, low fuel cost, good heating effect, generally 50 square meters of house, a heating furnace can rise to 24 ℃. The design and manufacture of heating furnace need to find a professional processing factory. The straw should be crushed so that it can burn for a long time. This heating method saves labor and time, and the fuel is changed only once in 12 hours. But the heat dissipation pipe should be sealed, otherwise the leakage of smoke will also lead to the death of bugs.

There is also a heating method to the north of the Yangtze River, commonly known as soil heating, which is the same principle as boiler water heating, but with simple equipment and low cost, it is suitable for small-scale farmers. And, this way is safe and reliable, because the heating furnace can be placed outside the farm, will not cause carbon monoxide leakage, and lead to the death of yellow powder insects.

For industrial breeding with a scale of more than 500 kg, the method of boiler water heating is the best, and the heat is uniform and the effect is the best through the heat sink. Although the one-time investment is large, it has a wide range of fuel sources, such as waste oil, grain husk, straw, sawn wood and so on.

The higher the temperature, the better.

If you choose the heating equipment, the heating mode is also important, otherwise the ideal effect can not be achieved. Some people think that as long as the temperature adds up, the higher the better, but it is not. In the enclosed breeding room, the highest temperature can not exceed 26 ℃. If it is higher than 26 ℃, it will produce muggy feeling and easily cause the death of Tenebrio Molitor. In addition, when changing fuel every morning and evening, you need to open the door for ventilation more than 2 times, 5 minutes each time.

In order to prevent Rain Water from flowing back to the heating furnace through the radiator on a rainy day, a 90-degree elbow can be installed at the outlet where the radiator extends to the outside, facing down.

The film can only block the wind, not keep it warm. Therefore, the doors and windows are sealed with thin film, but also reinforced with cardboard or other insulation, so that the indoor heat will not be lost, and the heating effect will be better.
