Protein worm farming is a scam.

The yield of yellow mealworm commercial worms is determined by the number of egg-laying adults, not by the number of how many larvae are introduced. Those companies that make huge profits by selling seeds, however, state the yield of commercial worms as follows: 200 kilograms of 8th instar larvae are introduced, and after 20 days of rearing, they can be fledged into adult worms of at least 100 kilograms. Then, it also gives you the economic benefits, depicting a pair of attractive prospects. In fact, this is to fool those who have not been involved in farming laymen. When the introduction back to the species after raising a period of time will understand that it is not so.

First of all, not to mention the yellow mealworm by the local climatic conditions of the influence of factors. Only according to the general situation, here are a few questions:

1, 200 kilograms of larvae by 20 days of rearing how can all become adult insects? Anyone who has had the experience knows that the larvae introduced back to the different sizes, even if the same age of the larvae pupation time is not consistent. The fact is, under the right temperature and humidity, it is not possible to become an adult without more than a month's time, and the spawning adult worms are gradually accumulated, a period of time to collect a few boxes, and then after a few days to collect a few boxes, until they slowly accumulate to a certain number.

2, 200 kilograms of larvae in the process of rearing, pupation, feathering, even if the conditions are mastered well, dead insects are inevitable. According to farmers, the general situation is that every 100 kg of larvae can get 25 kg of adult insects, can achieve this level is very good.

3, some companies say, 100 kilograms of adult worms each time to catch 200 boxes of eggs, 60 days to catch eggs 15 times. Here ignored the fact that in 60 days does not adult worms die? Adult worms have a life expectancy, life expectancy between 1 to 120 days, coupled with killing each other, so every time the eggs are part of the dead insects, according to the farmers, even if the control is good, the mortality rate of each batch of eggs is probably more than 3% or even higher.

Yellow mealworm farming is not simply a list of a few data, but there are risks. These potential risks are not mentioned when the company advertises. The mortality rate of the worms is not insignificant, and the company's claim of a 1:5 reproduction rate sounds like a fairy tale. In fact, well, a few years ago, the TV and newspapers have exposed that there are some companies that farm yellow mealworms as a capital-raising project, selling the right to buy the right to raise yellow mealworms or equity, promising a huge return, and it turns out that this is just another scam. Yellow mealworm currently does not have the conditions of factory farming, some businessmen in order to speculate on the seed to make money, unscrupulous, entrepreneurs need to be highly vigilant.
