What about the economic value of mealworms?

Encyclopedia. Economic role.

1. Insect skin can be extracted from substances used to make beauty products. Mealworm 2,When the larvae are dried, they can replace high-quality fishmeal. 3. Insect manure can be used as feed additives, or directly used as green fertilizer.

Develop the market. 1. The low profit of mealworm breeding industry leads to the lack of a large amount of capital and talents, so the research and development and sales talents in catering are not good. 2. On the issue of mealworm dish consumption positioning, as an ordinary food material into some low-grade restaurants, due to the eating habits and the thinking of the small owner of the restaurant has limitations, the promotion effect is not ideal, and the output of mealworm larvae is relatively large if it is positioned in high-end catering, and there is no better way to produce pupae, transportation, and pupae, so that some farmhouses and some insect-themed catering methods are better.

3. Mealworms are rich in this ento protein, which can be used as a sustainable protein source to replace the current fishmeal, another problem, due to the complex desensitization process of ento protein, people have a slight allergy after a small number of people eat a large number of people, therefore, its selectivity is limited. At present, mealworms are still not the best choice for health products, we are trying to find out the gene points that affect desensitization of ento protein, if the ento allergy gene is removed, the consumption of mealworm protein powder will form a huge market.

Be careful, be careful, be careful, and be careful Joining is mostly a lie.

Summary. In the case of mastering the technology, in his spare time, in order to cover an area of 20 square meters, buy 100 kilograms of insects, 120 kilograms, the market price of wheat bran is yuan, the ratio of feed to insect breeding feed and meat is 3:1, and the green vegetables are 3 kilograms, yuan jin (average).

Breeding for one year, 1 kg of seed insects average output of 50 kg of commercial insects, 100 kg of seed insects can produce 5000 kg of commercial insects, production of 1 kg of commercial insects to produce 2 kg of insect feces, the current insect feces market **is: yuan kilograms. The total cost is:

How much is the fresh worm now.

Yuan Jin.

Mealworms, also known as breadworms, have the highest protein content of any living animal. It is characterized by fast growth and high reproduction coefficient. Let's talk about the economic value of mealworms.

First, the economic value of mealworms.

Mealworms, commonly known as breadworms, are succulent mollusks with a fat and protein content of 50%. In addition, it contains trace elements such as phosphorus, potassium, iron, sodium, and aluminum, as well as 16 kinds of amino acids necessary for animal growth. The amino acid content per 100 grams of dry product is as high as mg, and its various nutrients are the first in all kinds of feed.

The nutritional value of 1 kg mealworm was related to that of 25 kg of wheat bran, 20 kg of mixed feed and 1000 kg of green feed. It's known as the "protein feed treasure". Mealworm is a rare and high-quality feed for breeding poultry fish, turtles, rice field eels, tilapia, bullfrogs, juvenile fish, scorpions, centipedes, snakes and other special breeding.

Second, mealworm breeding sites.

Mealworms are bred indoors and are not limited by climate and region. Its breeding technique is very simple, and it is mainly divided into two stages: reproduction and breeding. The breeding period is divided into four stages:

Seed worm - pupal - cap worm adult and egg-laying. It sounds complicated, but it's not difficult to operate. As long as you make three preparations and master the three basic skills, the survival rate will be above 95%.

The first is the choice of location. The survival habit of mealworms is that they are afraid of heat and not afraid of cold, and they like shade and not afraid of light. Therefore, the breeding grounds should be spacious, well ventilated, and the indoor light should be dark to prevent sun exposure.

For example, abandoned factories, warehouses and greenhouses. If it is a small amount of breeding, such as Master Zhou, as long as there is an empty room.

Third, mealworm breeding equipment.

The breeding tool for mealworms is very simple. These are breeding chambers that are specifically designed to breed mealworm larvae, and they can also be used as oviposition tanks. It is about 100 centimeters long, 50 centimeters wide, and 9 centimeters high.

Tape around it to prevent mealworms from crawling out. This tool is called the Grid Screen. It is available in two sizes, one is 4x4mm, which is mainly used to separate larvae and pupa, and the other is this model, 12x12mm, which is mainly yellow powder.

There are also two types of utensils used by insects to lay eggs, and they are dustpans and pans.

Fourth, the feed for breeding mealworms.

Be sure to feed some vegetables that are free of pesticide residues. Mealworms are particularly interested in sweets, pumpkin, carrots, apples, etc. are among their delicacies. With the three ready, let's talk about the three foundations that need to be grasped, namely temperature, humidity, and density.

First of all, we must choose to breed indoors, the indoor must be well ventilated, the light is not too strong, it must be darker, it is best to choose some abandoned plants, and we must buy some breeding boxes.

They should be provided with a very good growing environment, provide some good food, have a very good breeding temperature, properly control some diseases, and sell them immediately when they grow to a certain extent.

The first thing is to try to spread the word and let everyone taste the food, and the second is to make a different way to make it so that more people will eat it.

The main thing is the problem of marketing, so that people can understand its nutritional value, so that its economic value can be improved.

The commercial mealworm separator independently developed and produced by our factory is an indispensable equipment for the mealworm breeding industry, and has been exported to mealworm farms in more than 50 countries. Among them, American customers have the most cooperation with our factory, because the American mealworm breeding industry is developing rapidly. So, how are mealworms farmed in the United States?

With the gradual recognition of the value of animal protein, mealworm farming, mealworm protein extraction and insect meal feed processing are increasingly favored by investors. At present, many countries and regions in the world have established mealworm farms and mealworm processing centers of different scales, such as Australia, Canada, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, the United States, etc.

Mealworms are drought tolerant and can survive in environments with a water content of less than 10%. Mealworms grow slowly in dry environments and waste a lot of feed. The ideal water inlet is 15% and the humidity is 50 to 80%.

If the moisture content of the feed exceeds 18% and the air humidity exceeds 85%, the growth and development of mealworms will be slowed down and they will be prone to disease. If the feedlot is too dry, sprinkle with clean water and if it is wet, ventilate.

The most important thing to do is to introduce such technology first, and then to understand the things that need to be paid attention to in the breeding process and this knowledge, and then slowly continue to develop, and must understand the living habits of mealworms.

1. Describe the adult larvae according to the beginning of breeding. Adult larvae are first placed in rearing wooden trays, about kilograms each, and then sprinkled with wheat bran and vegetables. Wheat bran can be fed once a day, or once a few days, depending on the amount of feed in the plate, but the vegetables should be fed once a day, how much to eat up is better.

2. Pupation should be picked once a day during the pupation period to prevent death from being bitten. In order to facilitate management, centralized feathering, and synchronous reproduction, the pupae picked out within two days should be placed in the same feeding tray during the peak pupation period, and the thickness of each pupa should not exceed l cm. Do not put feed on the plate.

3. The adults who lay eggs should have enough feed every day, and generally can live for about 60 days, during which the dead worms should be picked out in time. In order to prolong the spawning period and lay more eggs, in addition to feeding bran and vegetables, apples, carrots, bean flour, etc. can be supplemented if conditions permit. The egg period is generally 6 to 10 days, during which it is not easy to turn, and when the larvae retract the skin once after the egg hatches, the newspaper can be removed, and then it can be appropriately given a dish, once a day.

When the feed in the house is eaten up, the insect feces can be sieved and the feed can be added. After that, it is the same as the adult larval feeding management method, and when the insect body gradually grows, it should be divided and combined in time, and each combination should not exceed the kilogram, so as to avoid excessive density, mutual biting and killing, and injury and heat.

The suitable temperature for growth and development is 15 -35, if the indoor temperature reaches 30, it is necessary to take cooling measures, and reduce the density of the group at the same time, so as not to die of heat due to excessive temperature. Selecting excellent varieties is the key and foundation to improve the survival rate, hatching rate, pupation rate, feathering rate and egg production, prolong the spawning period, promote high yield, shorten the reproductive cycle and reduce feed consumption.

Internationally, meat and bone meal pollution and dioxin pollution have led to outbreaks of mad cow disease and foot-and-mouth disease, and the annual output of high-quality fishmeal has declined, which has brought huge opportunities for the development and utilization of new animal protein resources. The prospect of industrial development of mealworm resources in animal husbandry is very broad. China is a big country in animal husbandry, and it is also a big country in feed production and consumption.

In 2005, the growth rate of China's word output was about 8 percent, the total output exceeded 100 million tons, and the output value of the feed processing industry was close to 300 billion yuan.

According to the national 11th Five-Year Plan, China's feed industry will lead the overall situation with the scientific concept of development, take integration and upgrading as the main line, build a safe, high-quality, efficient, low-consumption, coordinated development of the feed industry system, and focus on achieving three breakthroughs: at the end of the 11th Five-Year Plan, the total output exceeded 1. 300 million tons, laying the foundation for the next five years to become the world's first; A breakthrough has been made in the integration and promotion of the feed enterprises, and the establishment of a world-class agricultural and animal husbandry feed enterprise, accounting for two of the top ten feed enterprises in the world, and entering the top five, so as to drive the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and form a new type of enterprise economy; In the scientific research and development of feed and feed additives and the creation of China's famous brands, we have made breakthroughs in slow purification, embarked on the road of independent innovation, original innovation and introduction of innovation, formed a number of Chinese famous brands, and laid the foundation for world-class famous brands.

Shandong Province is a large province of animal husbandry production in China, but the word protein is facing a crisis, the gap reaches 12.5 million tons, and the number of feed factories is large, the varieties are miscellaneous, the distribution is scattered, and the scale is small. In 2005, the province's word products reached about 11.36 million tons, with an output value of 19 billion yuan, accounting for 110 percent of the country.
