Speaking of which, many people may have questions, why is it so profitable to cultivate yellow mealworms? Mealworm itself contains a very rich protein, and many trace elements exceed many of the same kind of insect ants, not only very edible, but also have other collateral value.
Mealworm
So, how should yellow powder be cultivated to increase production? Today, you may wish to take a look at the breeding technology of mealworm with Xiaobian.
The first step is to control the temperature of the breeding environment. Mealworm has a characteristic, that is, it is very cold tolerant, generally in the environment of minus ten degrees, it can still survive. The main reason is that it can maintain a half-rest state in a low temperature environment. Therefore, in the winter, if you want the mealworm to maintain a certain degree of activity, you must control the temperature.
Usually, 20 degrees Celsius is more appropriate. When summer comes, the overall ambient temperature should not exceed 30 degrees Celsius, because beyond this temperature, mealworms will basically stop growing.
On the other hand, overall moisture control is also important. The entire breeding environment must be maintained at a specific humidity, and the general data standard is to maintain an air humidity of 75%, while also preventing pests. In the winter, the air is relatively dry, at this time to increase the humidity of the ambient air, which is conducive to the growth and development of mealworms. In the spring, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the air humidity and change the environmental humidity, and make corresponding adjustments according to seasonal changes.
In addition to the ambient temperature and humidity of the air, light intensity and feed feeding also have a certain impact.
Light intensity control, mainly based on daylight, but the entire breeding process, the sunlight does not need to be too strong. Because, for mealworms, mealworms in dark environments are more conducive to survival. Low light, shade, is standard for mealworm farming.
In terms of feed feeding, breadcrumbs, corn residue, crushed rice residue, etc. can all be the best farmed feed for mealworms. The main thing is that mealworms do not have high feed requirements, but they should be fed every day, at least 3 times a day. In addition, some vegetable leaves, etc., can also be used to feed mealworms.
Of course, in addition to the basic points above, you also need to pay attention to some small details. When feeding food, spoilage, mold, etc. should pay attention to screening, otherwise it will cause mealworm disease.
In addition, it should be noted that the larvae, adults, and eggs should be reared separately. At the same time, mealworms are not very adapted to high temperature environments, so be prepared to cool down at any time, especially in the summer.
