Requirements for culture conditions of Tenebrio Molitor

Tenebrio Molitor, also known as bread worm, has a very high content of fat and protein, and is the main feed source for raising poultry and other special breeding industries, such as fish, turtles, scorpions, centipedes and so on, so it can create higher economic benefits for farmers. Coupled with its simple culture conditions, absorb a lot of people farming, but do not understand what it is required to breed, the following pro-agricultural network to see the requirements of Tenebrio Molitor culture conditions.

1. Requirements for feeding equipment

There are a variety of breeding sites for Tenebrio Molitor, including cartons, pots and cement ponds, but you must go to the breeding site with smooth surroundings and deep 15cm, which is to avoid the escape of Tenebrio Molitor. What is more convenient to manage is to raise a square wooden box or wooden box, making a square wooden box with a length of 1 meter, a width of half a meter and a high 15cm. The square wooden box is pasted with adhesive tape on the inner wall and nailed to the bottom, and a simple breeding box is done. In addition, some tools, feeding tools, and pickling tools should be prepared.

2. Temperature requirement

Tenebrio Molitor is a hardy insect. Adults can withstand the low temperature of minus two degrees Celsius, but the larvae will cause a large number of deaths in the zero environment. The lowest temperature for larvae should not be lower than two degrees and begin to grow and develop at 10 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is lower than 8 degrees, it will go into hibernation. The suitable temperature for growth is 25-30 degrees, and the fastest growth is in the environment of 32 degrees, but the temperature above 30 degrees can easily lead to disease. And more than 32 degrees will directly heat to death. Therefore, we should pay attention to the control of temperature when raising. When raising, the group temperature will be about 10 degrees higher than the temperature of the external environment, for example, the external temperature is 15 degrees, while the temperature in the culture box can reach 26 degrees, so we should pay attention to this point. Especially in summer high temperature, to do a good cooling treatment.

3. Humidity requirements

Tenebrio Molitor is a drought-tolerant species that can survive in an environment with a water content of less than 10%, but in an overly dry environment, it grows slowly or stops growing, wasting a lot of feed. The ideal water content is 15%, and the humidity is 50% Mur80%. Exceeding this standard, it is very easy to cause disease and slow growth. When the culture environment is too dry, humidification can be carried out, and when the humidity is too high, ventilation should be carried out in time to reduce humidity.

4. Lighting requirements

Tenebrio Molitor is a pest in the warehouse, it is naturally afraid of light, active, and active day and night, so it does not need light at all. In addition, the number of female insects laying eggs in a dark environment will also increase, so in order to increase the scale of breeding, it is necessary to keep the breeding ground dark.

5. Feed requirements

Feed determines the growth of Tenebrio Molitor. Tenebrio Molitor has a wide range of feed sources, such as wheat bran, corn flour, bean cake, carrots, vegetable leaves, melon peel and so on. Generally give priority to wheat bran, supplemented by melons, fruits and vegetables, a balanced mix of various feeds to promote the growth of Tenebrio Molitor, the general proportion of wheat bran is about 60% Mel 80%.
