(I) Feed Formulations For the normal growth and reproduction of Tenebrio, several feed formulations are available for reference. No.1 feed formula: wheat bran 70%, corn flour 25%, soybeans 4.5%, feed multivitamins 0.5% mix the above ingredients, and after the feed pellet machine expands into granules, or mix with 16% boiled water, Press into a small cake and use it after drying. This feed formulation is mainly fed with the production of Tenebrio larvae. No. 2 feed formula wheat bran 75%, fishmeal 4%, corn flour 15%, sugar 4%, feeding complex vitamin 0.8%, mixed salt 1.2%. The processing method is the same as the feed formula No. 1. It is mainly used for feeding adults of the spawning period. Feeding this feed can increase egg production and extend adult life. No. 3 feed formula pure wheat flour (not good quality wheat and malt, etc. ground powder, containing bran) 95%, sugar 2%, royal jelly 0.2%, feed complex vitamin 0.4%, feed mixed salt 2.4%. The processing method is the same as the feed formula No. 1. It is mainly used for feeding adult breeding and breeding. No. 4 feed formula wheat bran 40%, corn bran 40%, 18% soybean cake, feed complex vitamin 0.5%, 1.5% mixed feed salt. The processing method is the same as the feed formula No. 1. For feeding adults and larvae. Feed formula 5 is also called wheat bran, which is fed with wheat bran alone. In winter, wheat bran can also be the main ingredient, and add appropriate amount of corn flour. The mealworms are very omnivorous, and in addition to feeding the above feeds, they still need to supplement vegetables or melon peels to supplement water and vitamin C. In the breeding, according to the local feed resources, refer to the above formula and adjust the mix ratio of the feed properly. (b) When other feeds are used for large-scale feeding of Tenebrio molitor, they can use fermented feed and use wheat straw, leaves, weeds, etc., and feed them after fermentation. The use of fermented feeds not only has low production costs but also is nutritious and is ideal for Tenebrio molitor feed. High-fiber agricultural agricultural and sideline products, such as sawdust, wheat straw, straw, corn stalks, leaves, etc., can be used to feed Tenebrio after fermentation. The mealworms of the mealworms contain cellulase enzymes. The mealworms fed on long-term wood chips can gradually adapt to the digestion of lignocellulose. The use of wood fiber-containing feeds can reduce the cost of farming, convert waste agricultural and forestry by-products into high-quality animal protein, and do not compete with livestock and poultry, but also provide a new source of feed for the development and utilization of Tenebrio molitor. (III) Processing of feed The processing of Tenebrio feed differs from feed processing of chickens, pigs and cattle. Because during the feeding of the mealworms, the worms in the box are often mixed with the feed, and the mealworms also live in such environments. Therefore, feed hygiene is very important. The most important factor in keeping feed quality in good condition is the moisture content of the feed. Tenebrio molitor feed water content generally can not exceed 10%. If the moisture content of the feed is too high, it may become mildewed when mixed with insect feces. Tenebrio fed a moldy feed will suffer disease, which will reduce the survival rate of larvae. It will not be easy to complete the feathering process during the pupal season and the survival rate of feathers will be low. If the water content of the feed is too high, it will also become mildewed. Therefore, the moisture content of Tenebrio feed must be strictly controlled. When industrializing mass production of Tenebrio molitor, it is very desirable to process the feed into pellets. The moisture content of pellet feed is moderate, and the instant high temperature treatment after puffing plays a role in disinfection, sterilization and killing of pests, and also makes the starch in the feed saccharified, which is more conducive to digestion and absorption of Tenebrio molitor. When processing pellet feeds, small larvae, big larvae and adult feeds are preferably processed separately. The feed pellets of small larvae are preferably 0.5 mm or less in diameter, and the feed pellets of large larvae and adults have a diameter of about 1 to 5 mm. The feed particle size should be conducive to feeding by Tenebrio. Second, the hardness of the feed should also be suitable for different feeding age requirements. Because Tenebrio is a chewing mouthpart, harder feeds are not suitable for feeding, especially for small larvae. For raw materials without conditions or suitable for processing into extruded pellet feed, various feed ingredients and additives can be mixed and shaken uniformly. Add 10% water (complex vitamins can be added to water) to mix well, mix well, and then leave to dry. Feeds with high starch content can be mixed with 15% hot water and mixed with other feeds and dried overnight (vitamins cannot be boiled with hot water). The moldy and worm-eaten feed should be promptly dried, or placed in a drying oven or oven, and dried at a temperature of about 50°C for 30 minutes until it dries. This treatment prevents mildew and worms in the feed and can kill other pest eggs of the fly. Frozen foods can be used to seal insect pests in plastic bags and then placed in freezers or freezers for freezing at -10°C for 3 to 5 hours. They also kill pests. After freezing, dry the feed for use.
