Culture techniques of Tenebrio Molitor

Tenebrio Molitor is a very popular insect in aquaculture, with a very high protein content, and the fattening effect of frequently fed animals is very obvious, which also leads to a sharp increase in demand for Tenebrio Molitor. So how to raise yellow powder insects? Those who want to join the industry can get to know it!

1. Construction of culture environment

The culture environment has a great impact on Tenebrio Molitor. If the environment is not suitable, it is impossible to breed at all. Tenebrio Molitor prefers dark environment, there is little demand for light, the breeding site should first control the light, the choice of light bulb should also be dim, but can not be wet, need a dry environment. In addition, noise has a great impact on the yellow powder bug, which is very easy to be stimulated, and the quiet of the site should be ensured, so it is best to have a quiet environment nearby for a long time, but it cannot be sealed to prevent noise, because the yellow powder bug needs good ventilation.

2. Equipment preparation

After the culture environment is suitable, it is necessary to prepare some culture equipment, there are mainly three kinds. One is the cage for breeding adults, the wooden and plastic cages can be small, the length and width can be moved according to their own needs, as long as the aspect is moved, and the height is controlled at about 8-10 cm to prevent the yellow pink insects from coming out during culture. because the bottom is also padded; second, egg boxes, which are used for hatching, do not need to be specially made, and are specially sold in many places. The third is the sieve, which needs to be selected by yourself, sieve eggs to be used, and cleaning to be used, so it is necessary to prepare several kinds of mesh sizes.

3. Feeding process

After putting the larvae into a prepared cage, you can begin to raise them. Bedding materials should be prepared in the cages, such as wheat bran and rice bran, which are all high-quality bedding materials, which can not only give the yellow powder insect a place to move, but also let it eat directly. If the leaves are fresh, but there can be no moisture on the surface, special feed can be prepared if there are conditions.

4. Health management

In the process of breeding, hygiene should be properly managed. Although Tenebrio Molitor is an insect, there are still diseases if hygiene is not paid attention to. Due to the high culture density, once the disease occurs, it is very likely to be infected in batches, so sanitary cleaning should be done in time, and the prepared sieve should be used for screening. Once the cushion material is found to be abnormal, or there are some abnormal black feces inside, it means that the disease may be more serious and should be solved as soon as possible. Daily use of hands to touch the material, found that a little wet is not very dry is also timely replacement, while indicating that the breeding site may be a little heavy moisture, to improve.

The above is the breeding technology of Tenebrio Molitor. It is not very difficult to cultivate Tenebrio Molitor, mainly because it needs to be sensitive to these environmental factors. In addition, it is difficult to learn more about self-breeding and self-cultivation when breeding.
