CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How many types of mealworms are there?

1. How many types of mealworms are there?

There is only one species of mealworms, also known as breadworms.

Yellow mealworm, also known as yellow mealworm, is also called mealworm because of its rich nutrition. It is native to North America and is an important global storage pest. It has been determined to be high in protein, low in fat, and rich in amino acids. It is also rich in phosphorus, potassium, iron, sodium, aluminum and other trace elements. According to relevant expert research, yellow mealworm active protein not only contains a large amount of chitin, antimicrobial peptide defensins and exogenous lectins that have special effects on the human body; it is also rich in a variety of essential amino acids and proteins, free amino acids, vitamins, mineral elements, unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients for the human body, and is consistent with the normal proportion of the human body, and is easily absorbed and utilized. Foods made from yellow mealworm powder (bread, cakes, etc.) are delicious and nutritious; famous foreign biological product companies use yellow mealworms to make nutritional health products, which can improve human immunity, resist fatigue, delay aging, reduce blood lipids, and fight cancer.

Mealworms have the following uses:

1. For raw food and bread;

2. Replace fish bone meal and meat and bone meal as protein feed;

3. Used as seasoning powder to make various instant noodle seasonings;

4. Used for special breeding, such as feeding scorpions, centipedes, forest frogs, snakes, rare birds and ornamental animals;

5. Make snacks such as moon cakes, rice crusts, biscuits, etc.;

6. Make "Han Shrimp Paste";

7. Make various dishes;

8. Mealworm oil can be used to prepare drugs that lower blood cholesterol, margarine, surfactant intermediates, etc. It can also be used to make soap, Taiko oil and plasticizers, etc.

9. Prepare compound amino acid oral solution;

10. Make nutritional and health wine;

11. Used as scientific experimental materials;

12. Insect exuviae and adult shells can be used to extract chitin and produce chitosan; as feed additives, they can replace hormones and antibiotics;

13. Insect feces (sand feces) can be used as efficient biological organic fertilizer, attractant, feed additive, efficient flower fertilizer, etc. Yellow mealworm feces are extremely dry, contain almost no water, and have no odor. It is the only feces in the world that is like fine sand, so it is also called sand feces (also called feces sand), which is very easy to transport. According to chemical analysis, it contains 25% nitrogen, 1.04% phosphorus, 1.4% potassium, and seven trace elements: zinc, boron, manganese, magnesium, and copper. It can be used directly as fertilizer. After application, it 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 agricultural ecological environment, and promote the sustainable development of planting industry. At present, the supply of truly efficient biological organic fertilizer products on the market is not large, and there is an instability problem, which cannot meet the needs of efficient agricultural production. Therefore, efficient biological organic fertilizers produced with insect feces as the main raw material have good market prospects. In addition, insect feces can also be used as feed for pigs, fish, etc. because they contain high crude protein.

2. What are the varieties of mealworms? Which variety is most suitable for breeding in rural areas? Please help me, thank you! ~

Mealworm is just one name, there is no second one.

Some places add other things to name their products. Please note that these are named by the production units themselves and have no biological basis.

3. How many types of insect screens are there for breeding mealworms? Please explain in detail, thank you!

8 mesh, 10 mesh upper, 30 mesh upper, 40 mesh upper, 60 mesh upper,

4. How to classify the mealworms after ten days?

Generally, mealworms have different stages of growth and development. In order to prevent eggs from being eaten by female worms and pupae from being eaten by larvae, they should be raised and managed according to age. The breeding and management of small mealworms are as follows:

No feed can be added before the larvae reach the third instar, and the feed shaken off the egg paper is enough for consumption, but some chopped cabbage stems or melon and fruit peels should be fed appropriately every day. When the original feed is basically eaten up, it should be screened through a 50-mesh insect sieve to screen out the insect ash, and the insects should be put back into the insect box and start feeding. Sprinkle bran once every 2 to 3 days, and add chopped vegetables and melon and fruit peels at the same time. After screening the insects once with a 50-mesh or 40-mesh insect sieve for 5 to 7 days, add bran and melon and vegetables. As the age increases, the food intake gradually increases, and it should be divided into two boxes for feeding at around 6 instars. In the suitable temperature season, feed once in the morning and evening according to the dosage of mealworms. To accelerate the rapid growth of the insect body. The mature larvae eat less, so it is advisable to feed in small amounts, and screen and feed once a week. The stocking density is 1.5 to 2 kilograms per box in summer, and it can be doubled in winter compared with summer. The larvae are small, so the density can be higher. As the larvae grow larger, the box should be expanded in time to avoid inhibiting the growth of the larvae. In the early stage of larval breeding, the larvae should be cleaned every 15 days, and in the middle and late stages, they should be cleaned every 3 to 5 days. Because mealworms shed their skins several times, there are often a lot of insect skins concentrated on the insect bodies in the breeding box, so they should be cleaned up together with the insect feces.

5. How about mealworms? Can you recommend a good variety?

Mealworms are a high-protein feed that can completely replace fish meal. As for species, I recommend you to raise super mealworms (mealworms)! Mealworms are an upgraded version of mealworms!
