After one year's cultivation, one kilogram of seed insects can produce an average of 50 kilograms of commercial insects, 100 kilograms of seed insects can produce 5000 kilograms of commercial insects, and the production of 1 kg of commercial insects can produce 2 kilograms of insect dung. After the loss of wheat bran feed is removed, it is difficult for beginners to make money at first.
In the early stage of breeding Tenebrio molitor, it is necessary to buy Tenebrio molitor seeds and keep Tenebrio molitor seeds in the later stage, so the breeding cost of purchasing Tenebrio molitor seeds can be ignored. Moreover, the Tenebrio molitor breeding equipment we made can be used for a long time, which greatly reduces the later breeding cost of Tenebrio molitor and greatly increases the profit of Tenebrio molitor breeding. In the later stage, if we deeply process the Tenebrio molitor cultivated by us, we can also maximize the breeding profit of Tenebrio molitor.
Brief introduction of Tenebrio molitor
Tenebrio molitor, also known as breadworm, belongs to COLEOPTERA, Tenebrionidae and Tenebrionidae (Tenebrionidae) in insect taxonomy. Originally from North China, it was introduced from the Soviet Union to in 1950s. The dried Tenebrio molitor contains 30% fat and 50% protein. In addition, it also contains major elements such as phosphorus, potassium, iron, sodium and aluminum and various trace elements. Because the dried Tenebrio molitor larvae contain about 40% protein, 57% pupae and 60% adults, it is known as the "feed treasure house of protein".
The suitable breeding temperature is 20-30℃, and at 20-25℃, the egg stage is 7-8 days, the larval stage is 122 days, and the pupal stage is 8 days. It takes about 133 days to develop from egg to adult. At 28-30℃, the egg stage is 3-6 days, the larval stage is 100 days, and the pupal stage is 6 days. It only takes 1 10 days for the egg to develop into an adult. Humidity also has a great influence on its reproduction, and the appropriate relative humidity is 60-70%. When the humidity reaches 90%, most larvae die when they grow to 2-3 years old, and when it is lower than 50%, the amount of eggs laid is greatly reduced.
