1, when the naked eye can see the body shape of the larvae, it is necessary to add heat and humidity to promote its growth and development. Warming can be taken to increase the density method. Humidification is regular (6-8 times a day) to the feeding box sprinkling. However, the amount should be small and no bright water should appear. Increasing water in the feed can also increase humidity.
2, small and large larvae are best kept separately to avoid the phenomenon of residual food.
3, the environment for raising breadworms should be warm, ventilated, dry, protected from light, clean and free from chemical pollution.
4, the yellow mealworm is a swarming insect, mating and spawning must have a certain population density, 1500-3000 per square meter. Adults need to feed better concentrate feed during the egg-laying period, in addition to mixed feed with compound vitamins, plus the right amount of feed with high moisture content.
Expanded information:
Viruses commonly found in breadfruit worms:
1, drying disease The cause of the disease is mainly dry air, high temperature, feed water content is too low, so that the yellow mealworm body serious lack of water and disease. Generally in the winter when heating with coal stove, or in the hot summer for several days of high temperature (more than 39 ℃) without rain is easy to appear such symptoms.
2, rot disease (soft rot). This disease occurs in the rainy season with high humidity and low temperature. Because of the feeding place air humidity, plus difficult to sieve and force amplitude is too large caused by the insect body injury, coupled with poor management, feces and feed contaminated and the onset of disease.
3, blackhead disease. The reason of blackhead disease is caused by the yellow mealworm eating its own feces. This is related to the improper management of the farmers or do not know the breeding technology. When the worm feces are not sifted and put into the green fodder, it causes the worm feces and green fodder to mix together, which is mistakenly eaten by the yellow mealworm and develops the disease.
