Barley worms are omnivorous insects, and the concentrate can be prepared with 70% wheat bran, 10% corn meal, 5% flour, 3% soybean dregs, 10% fine rice bran, and 2% white tang. Green fodder can be used vegetable leaves, melon peel, radish, potato, pumpkin, sweet potato and so on.

Larvae and adult feed put: larvae and adult rearing are in the unified specifications of the standard feeding tray, just according to the different feeding purposes of different feed formulations. There are two kinds of larval rearing: seed retention and production, and only one kind of adult rearing: seed retention and breeding.

Egg collection and hatching: in the bottom of the standard rearing tray lined with a slightly thin brown paper, on the top of 0.3 to 0.5 cm thick feed (or worm droppings), 600 adult worms (400 females, 200 males), adult worms will be evenly distributed in the eggs on the egg-laying paper, each sheet of paper can be 2 days to produce 10,000 to 15,000 eggs.

Pupal collection and pupation: the pupation rate of barley worms can generally reach more than 97%, only a very small number of very weak or injured old larvae will die in the process of pupation, pupation should be released separately.

Expanded Information:

Barleyworms are omnivorous, and the nutrient content of the feed is the key to the growth of the larvae under a certain temperature and humidity. If fed with reasonable compound feed, not only low cost, but also can accelerate the growth rate and improve the reproduction rate.

In the traditional feeding practice and the company's mastered materials, are introduced to wheat bran, cornmeal-based, supplemented by green vegetable leaves feed mode, feeding costs are high, the comprehensive development and utilization of industrial and agricultural organic waste resources do not pay enough attention.

If we can make full use of crop residues as raw materials to be processed into larval feed for barley worms, we can greatly improve the economic benefits of barley worm farming.
