prospects of Tenebrio molitor breeding 1. The active protein of Tenebrio molitor breeding insects is known as the all-nutrient food for human beings in the 21st century! Industrial breeding of Tenebrio molitor is called the third largest insect industry after "silkworm" and "bee" by insect experts because of its characteristics of low investment, simple and easy-to-learn technology, easy factory and family breeding. According to the research of relevant experts, insect active proteins not only contain a lot of chitin, antimicrobial peptide defensins and exogenous lectins that have special effects on human body; It is also rich in nine essential amino acids, protein, free amino acids, vitamins, mineral elements, unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients, which are consistent with the normal proportion of the human body and are easy to be absorbed and utilized.
The scale production and industrialization project of Tenebrio molitor is the key funded project of the national harvest plan of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery; It has been listed as the key development project of the national 45 project and the national spark plan project.
Tenebrio molitor has strong adaptability. It feeds on wheat bran, corn flour, crop stalks, vegetables, seedlings and vines every 5-7 days, and the production cycle is 5-65 days. The feeding utensils are only wooden boxes and wooden shelves, which can be produced with an investment of 1, yuan. It has high economic benefits, wide feed sources, simple feeding facilities, easy feeding, easy management and no epidemic disease. Insect pupa vegetable is a newly developed green product, which has three characteristics: high fecundity, short production period and large size, with an average of 2,5-3, pieces per kilogram (5,-6, pieces per kilogram for common Tenebrio molitor). At present, the yield index has reached more than 1: 1 (that is, 1 kg of seed insects can produce more than 1 kg of commercial insects). As a new dish, insect pupa vegetable has stepped onto the public table. The insect pupa dish is very popular with consumers. Aquatic products markets all over the country also have special consumer markets for insect pupa vegetables. Experts predict that insect pupa vegetables will become millions of industries.
In short, the market prospect of breeding Tenebrio molitor is attractive, which is a good way for urban and rural areas to get rich. Second, the market situation of Tenebrio molitor at home and abroad
Tenebrio molitor deep-processed products have a wide application field. Tenebrio molitor is a high-quality protein feed instead of fish meal, and its nutritional components are comparable to those of imported high-quality fish meal, but its production cost is far lower than that of fish meal. Tenebrio molitor is a high-quality edible oil, additive oil for health products, cosmetic additive and transformer oil. Foods, beverages and condiments developed from fresh Tenebrio molitor larvae or defatted protein are constantly emerging, such as Tenebrio molitor compound supplements. Some large enterprises are optimistic about insect protein food and actively participate in the development. Since the scientific research results of comprehensive development and utilization of Tenebrio molitor resources came out in Shandong Agricultural University to produce canned samples of Tenebrio molitor pupae quickly, so as to investigate the market and order, Tenebrio molitor molitor is a high-quality raw material for producing chitin, its calcium content is far lower than that of shrimp and crab shells, and the processing difficulty is greatly reduced. Chitin has a broad application prospect in functional food, medical supplies, health care products and environmental protection materials, textiles, degradable film production and other fields. Tenebrio molitor dung is a good organic fertilizer and can also be used as roughage to feed livestock and poultry.
Experts predict that the large-scale production of insect pupa as food is a new industry after vegetables, eggs and so on. It has created a new energy city, is a new project of vegetable basket project in China, and will be an effective way for urban and rural people to get rich. Insect pupa is favored by consumers because of its natural, pollution-free, fragrant and delicious, high nutritional value and unique nourishing effect. Some large supermarkets have sold in bulk.
the biggest feature of insect pupa is its fresh fragrance. "Fried cicada", "wild bee kernel", "fried grasshopper", "scorpion climbing snow mountain" and "washing scorpion" have their own tastes. The custom of taking silkworm chrysalis as food has gradually taken root in people's hearts. A kind of breadworm that can be used for artificial breeding is particularly popular recently, and can be eaten everywhere in hotels and restaurants in Tai 'an, Shandong Province. Perhaps it is influenced by Shandong people. The nationwide wind of eating insects and pupae spread from Qingdao and Jinan in Shandong, and the price of insect pupae in various places kept rising. The fried insect pupae in Beijing New Century Hotel sold for 138 yuan. In Beijing's agricultural and sideline products markets such as Dazhong City, Baliqiao and Xinfadi, the price of bread worm pupae was 48-6 yuan, and it was sold to 78 yuan per kilogram in Shanghai's Tongchuan Road Aquatic Market, and it was often not available.
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people's consumption concept has undergone a fundamental change, from eating delicious, fresh, game and nature to eating exotic and special nutrition. According to the research of relevant experts, insect pupa not only contains a large number of chitin, antimicrobial peptide defensins and exogenous lectins which have special effects on human body, but also contains nine kinds of amino acids necessary for human body, protein, free amino acids, vitamins, mineral elements, unsaturated fatty acids and other ingredients, which are consistent with the normal proportion of human body, and are easy to be absorbed and utilized. Insect food will be a fully nutritious food for human beings in the 21st century, with a very huge development space. Iii. feasibility of resource conditions
1.8 million species of insects have been found in the world, accounting for more than 7% of the total number of known animal species. The history of communication between human beings and insects is basically a history of fighting for food, and it is also a history that has not achieved much, but has brought endless troubles to human beings. These "inexhaustible" insects force people to look at them from another angle, only to find that they are the largest biological resources that have not been fully utilized on the earth at present. Studying, utilizing and developing insect resources has become a global upsurge at the turn of the century: developed countries such as the United States and Japan have invested huge manpower, material resources and financial resources to formulate and implement insect development projects, while ancient countries such as Mexico, India and Australia have given full play to their traditional insectivorous cultural advantages and opened up their insect food markets all over the world as "new protein sources" providers.
In fact, the insect industry also has a long history in China. Not to mention the prehistoric tradition of eating insects, nor the endless custom of eating insects by ethnic minorities. Silkworm, an insect industry alone, has painted the most beautiful stroke on the glorious history and culture of the Chinese nation, making future generations excited about the ancient "Silk Road", and bees, together with silkworm, have supported a huge industry so far. Together with the dawn of the new century, it will be the third largest insect industry in China-factory breeding and industrial development of Tenebrio molitor! Will hold up "the third largest insect industry in China".
Tenebrio molitor is an organic waste (sawdust) from industry and agriculture, such as straw, which is fully transformed into a substance that can be used by human beings. It solves the problem of wasting a large number of sawdust resources and polluting the environment, establishes a new "sawdust ecosystem" which is different from the traditional raw food food chain, and opens up a new way for human beings to obtain protein.
Tenebrio molitor feed does not consume grain, and can transform the feed that "big livestock and poultry" can't convert into high-quality protein feed. People take breeding Tenebrio molitor, a "small livestock", as a springboard, and then raise all kinds of livestock and poultry and a variety of economic animals. Through the intermediate link of Tenebrio molitor, the long-standing problem of "dividing grain between humans and animals" was solved. Transform the traditional "single item and single ring" agricultural production mode into "multi-item and multi-ring" agricultural production mode. Make agricultural production form an industrial chain itself, and open up a new way for agricultural industrialization.
Tenebrio molitor has strong adaptability, easy to master the culture technology, and can be used for both industrial culture and decentralized culture, and is suitable for decentralized culture and centralized processing. It is especially suitable to adopt the mode of "company+base+farmer", and the regional scale development is easy to succeed, which can completely become the leading project of agricultural industrialization in one county and one city. Iv. analysis of economic benefits
the production conditions of insect pupae are not high, and they can be produced immediately by using the existing premises (warehouses and old houses). A county-level city only needs to contact 5-1 hotels, 3-5 supermarkets, and do some advertising, and it can sell at least 5-1 kilograms a day. It is the price of selling mutton, and the income is very considerable. The benefits of some prefecture-level cities will multiply.
Tenebrio molitor seeds introduced from our center will turn into adults and start to lay eggs after 2 days, and they can receive eggs once every 4 days, and the seeds can lay eggs for 6-9 days continuously. It costs little to raise Tenebrio molitor by using abandoned crop straws in rural areas. One kilogram of commercial insects can be raised by adding a small amount of wheat bran and corn flour to 3-5 kilograms of straw powder and a small amount of vegetable leaves. The cost is 2 yuan, and the market price is 6-8 yuan/. The protection price of live worms in our center is 8 yuan/kg; The purchase price of insect pupa vegetables is 2 yuan/kg; 3-4 kg of live worms can process 1 kg of dry worms, and the purchase price of dry worms in our center is 3 yuan/kg. The supply price of seed insects is 1-11 yuan/kg.
The economic benefits of establishing a commercial production base of Tenebrio molitor are analyzed as follows:
After 2 days' feeding, 2 kilograms of seed worms can emerge into at least 1 kilograms of adults, and the adults can lay eggs once every four days, and they can lay eggs for 6-9 days continuously (calculated as 6 days), and each box of eggs can produce 2 kilograms of commercial insects after 6 days' feeding.
1. Benefit analysis of producing commercial insects: Commercial insects can be produced within this period (3 months): 13 boxes× 22 times× 2kg/box = 572kg, at the lowest protection price of 8 yuan/kg. Can earn 4576 yuan. Excluding the cost of 22,88 yuan, the labor electricity bill and other 2, yuan. The net income can be 21 yuan. In addition to the introduction fee, the net income can be 6 yuan.
2. Economic benefit analysis of insect pupa vegetables: insect pupa vegetables can be produced within this period (4 months): 13 boxes× 22 times× 1kg/box = 2,86kg, at the lowest protection price of 2 yuan/kg. Can earn 572 yuan. Excluding the cost of 11,6 yuan, labor electricity and other 2, yuan. The net income can be 336 yuan. It can be raised for three periods throughout the year, and the income can be 1,8 yuan except the introduction investment.
If the amount of seed reserved is increased for the first time, the profit can be doubled. In addition, for every ton of live worms, 1.5 kilograms of chitin can be produced, and the market price is 2-3 yuan: 1,5× 3 = 4,5 yuan per gram. Note: If introduced, it is best to buy from regular manufacturers to avoid buying diseased seedlings, and the services of regular manufacturers are also better.
