Mealworm cultivation and reproduction technology

Mealworms, also known as mealworms, are beetle larvae that live in grains and are often raised for animal feed. The following is about the cultivation and reproduction techniques of mealworms:

The breeding process of mealworms:

Infrastructure preparation:

Raising mealworms requires a container of grain or a specially prepared feed, usually one with vents and easy to clean. The container needs to be appropriately sized to hold the required number of mealworms.

Temperature and Humidity Control:

The suitable temperature for mealworms is approximately 22-27 degrees Celsius. In terms of humidity, it usually needs to be kept within the range of 50%-70%.

Suitable feed:

Grains such as wheat bran and cornmeal are good feeds for mealworms. In addition, you can also choose commercially available special feed for mealworms.

Reproduction and growth:

The growth and reproduction of mealworms require a certain amount of time, and proper temperature and feed supply must be maintained to promote the growth and reproduction of the insects.

Mealworm breeding techniques:

Choose healthy individuals:

Select healthy, active mealworms for breeding to ensure healthy offspring.

Create a suitable breeding environment:

Provide appropriate temperature, humidity and feed to promote reproduction and larval hatching.

Larvae care:

Separate the hatched mealworm larvae and place them in appropriately sized containers, provide adequate food and maintain appropriate temperature and humidity.

Growth of larvae:

As the larvae grow older, they need to regularly change their feed and maintain a suitable environment to promote their healthy growth.

The above-mentioned breeding and propagation process is the basic process, and some practices of raising mealworms will vary depending on the region, environment and scale. When cultivating mealworms, you need to pay attention to hygiene and epidemic prevention to prevent excessive worms from causing odor.
