CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Materials and prices for mealworm farming

1. Materials and prices for mealworm breeding

You don't have to buy seed worms at a high price from those who develop breeding farms. You can go to the market to buy commercial worms and pick out the good ones to keep as seeds for breeding. You need breeding boxes, egg-laying screens, feces screens, and several sieves of different mesh sizes for separating large and small worms. The worms eat bran and vegetables. If you want to sell them, go to the flower and bird market.

2. Where can I buy mealworms (lots of them)?

Flower, bird, fish and insect market, chicken farm, fish farm,

The use and value of mealworms

Mealworms are high-protein fresh feed, with a protein content of 51% and a fat content of up to 29%. Known as the king of animal protein, through factory production, they can provide a large amount of high-quality animal protein and promote the development of the breeding industry.

The protein content of mealworm powder after defatting and oil extraction reaches 70%, and after chitosan (chitin) extraction, the protein content can reach up to 80%. It can not only replace imported high-quality fish meal, but also is a fresh feed for special breeding and the main feed for artificial breeding of Chinese forest frogs. It is also a high-protein, high-nutrition delicious food for people's health and delicacy.

It can provide high-efficiency and high-quality biological organic fertilizer, improve soil structure, and promote the development of planting industry. According to the analysis of yellow mealworm feces, it contains 3.37% nitrogen, 1.04% phosphorus, 1.4% potassium, and seven trace elements such as zinc, boron, manganese, magnesium, and copper. The organic matter is 82%. The application of high-efficiency biological organic fertilizer with insect feces as the main raw material can not only increase soil fertility, increase crop yields, and improve the quality of agricultural products, but also reduce agricultural production costs, improve soil structure, improve the agricultural ecological environment, and promote the sustainable development of planting industry.

At present, the supply of real high-efficiency biological organic fertilizer products in the market is small and unstable, which cannot meet the needs of high-efficiency agricultural production. Therefore, the high-efficiency biological organic fertilizer produced by this project with insect manure as the main raw material has good market prospects.

In addition, insect manure has good feeding effect as a component of pig feed

1. According to relevant expert research, insect pupae not only contain a large amount of chitin, antimicrobial peptide defensins and exogenous lectins that have special effects on the human body, but also are rich in nine essential amino acids and proteins, free amino acids, vitamins, mineral elements, unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients, and are consistent with the normal proportion of the human body, and are easily absorbed and utilized. Insect food will be a complete nutritional food for humans in the 21st century, with a huge development space. Foods, beverages and condiments developed with fresh mealworms or defatted protein as raw materials continue to emerge, such as dishes, bread, biscuits, canned mealworm pupae, mealworm compound supplements, etc. Relevant experts predict that the large-scale production of insect pupae as food is an emerging industry after vegetables, poultry eggs, etc. It has created a new energy field and is an emerging project of my country's vegetable basket project. Insect pupae are favored by consumers for their pure natural, pollution-free, fragrant and delicious, high nutritional value and unique nourishing effect. Some high-end hotels in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Changsha, Nanning and other places have already sold them. The prices of insect pupae continue to rise in various places. In Beijing's New Century Hotel, fried insect pupae sell for 138 yuan per plate. In Shanghai's Tongchuan Road Aquatic Products Market, mealworm pupae sell for 78 yuan per kilogram, and they are often in short supply.

3. The market of mealworms

Gansu News Network---Enterprise News---Nongkexingnong Super Mealworm Breeding Market is Hot At the beginning of the Year of the Tiger, with the afterglow of economic recovery, the country began a vigorous entrepreneurial climax, and the rural entrepreneurial boom was even better. Economists analyzed that breeding is currently the most favorable entrepreneurial project in rural areas. Breeding Nongkexingnong Super Mealworm has become the main force of farmers' entrepreneurship with absolute advantages. By accurately observing the market situation and making rational use of effective resources in rural areas, Nongkexingnong Super Mealworm has waved its magic wand to turn rural areas into a land of wealth. This year, the country has further increased its support for agriculture, and various provinces and cities have provided a lot of financial support for breeding and planting industries, especially special breeding.

Nongkexingnong Super Mealworm Special Breeding is one of the golden projects. It has become the first choice for many investors and farmers because of its low investment, short cycle, large market and high benefits. Most of the rural areas in the country are still dominated by the traditional grain-pig small structure economy. The annual income of farmers is low and poor, and the price of their labor is the lowest. Therefore, breeding Nongkexingnong Super Mealworm is the most practical, most affordable, and easy to accept and actively welcome way to get rich for the majority of farmers.

Agricultural Science and Technology Super Mealworm has low technical threshold

Nongkexingnong Super Mealworms are imported from Europe and America, with high reproduction coefficient, high forage conversion rate, fast growth and strong disease resistance. The scientific breeding technology has opened up a new way to utilize and transform agricultural organic waste resources mainly based on crop straw, and can transform the unconverted feed of "large livestock and poultry" into high-quality high-protein feed. Nongkexingnong Super Mealworms have strong adaptability, are not affected by climate, reproduce in all seasons, and have high yields. In addition, the breeding technology is easy to master and easy to form large-scale breeding (both factory breeding and decentralized breeding are possible).

Nongkexingnong Super Mealworm has low breeding cost

The super mealworm of Nongkexingnong has a diverse diet and a high conversion rate. It can fully convert industrial and agricultural organic waste (detritus), mainly crop straw, into materials that can be used by humans, solving the problem of waste of a large amount of straw and other detritus resources and environmental pollution, establishing a new "detritus ecosystem" that is different from the traditional biological food chain, and opening up a new way for humans to obtain protein. The breeding of super mealworms of Nongkexingnong does not consume food, and can convert feed that "large livestock and poultry" cannot convert into high-quality high-protein feed.

Through the intermediate link of Nongkexingnong Super Mealworm, the long-standing problem of "separating grain between humans and animals" has been solved. The cost of feeding feed is low, the artificial breeding method is simple, the equipment requirements are not high, it saves labor, is easy to manage, and the feed is abundant. It is easy to obtain local materials, such as various crop straws, wheat bran, vegetables... The investment is small, the effect is quick, the market is good, the market is wide, the deep-processing products have a wide range of applications, and the returns are high. The popularity of Nongkexingnong Super Mealworm breeding market has ignited the economic boiling point in 2010.

Main economic functions of mealworms:

1. Insect skin can be extracted to produce substances used in beauty products.

2. After drying, the larvae can replace high-quality fish meal.

3. Insect feces can be used as feed additives or directly used as green fertilizer.
