CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to separate mealworms from feed

Understanding Mealworms

Mealworms are a common domestic insect that are used as pets or food insects by many hobbyists. They are specialized organisms that feed on grains such as bran and flour as their main feed source. However, when breeding and harvesting mealworms, separating mealworms from feed is an important step.

Causes and Benefits

One of the main reasons to separate mealworms is to control their population. Too many mealworms can create excess droppings and odors that can affect their health and growth. Separating mealworms also makes it easier to move them around and use them, such as transferring them to a new feed container.

step

1. Prepare separation equipment

First, prepare a container and sieve. The container should be large enough to hold the feed and provide enough space for the mealworms to separate. The sieve can be fine mesh to filter out smaller mealworms.

2. Pour out the feed

Pour the mealworm feed into a container. Be careful not to damage the mealworms.

3. Filter mealworms

Use a sieve to filter out the feed. The larger feed particles will be filtered out by the sieve, while the mealworms will be retained in the sieve.

4. Removal of residual feed

Place the mealworms remaining in the sieve on a piece of paper and use a brush or your fingers to gently brush away any remaining meal particles. This is important because any remaining meal particles may become moldy or develop an unpleasant odor.

5. Storage and use

Store the separated mealworms in a dry and ventilated place and use the required amount of mealworms.

Precautions

• Make sure the container and sieve are clean and do not contain any harmful materials.
• Before separating the mealworms, it is best to store the feed in a sealed bag or container to prevent other insects from invading.
• After each mealworm separation, remember to clean the container and sieve for next use.

Through the above steps, you can easily separate mealworms from feed. This not only controls the number and health of mealworms, but also makes it convenient to use them as pets or edible insects.
