the development of mealworm is ONe of the outstanding representatives, which can provide protein directly for human beings on the one hand, and appear as protein feed on the other.mealworm farming is a new type of farming with low input and high output, which has the characteristics of saving land, water, energy, space and manpower; the application prospect is very good.
China has reported the use of insects TO raise POULTRY as early as the 1950s, and carried out research in this area in the 1970s, with great ACHIEVEments, especially (yellow mealworms) and many types of insects currently used as feed resources throughout the country, mainly fly maggots, (yellow mealworms), locusts and silkworm pupae, followed by bag moths, grubs and ants. The above-mentioned insects have high protein content, rich and comprehensive amino acids, reasonable collocation, and also rich in vitamins and mineral trace elements, etc. At present, there are many kinds of insects used as feed resources throughout the country, mainly fly maggots, (yellow mealworms), locusts and silkworm pupae, followed by bag moths, grubs and ants. The above-mentioned insects have high protein content, rich and comprehensive amino acids, reasonable collocation, and also rich in vitamins and mineral trace elements, etc. The insects in the feed resources reproduce quickly and have a large biomass. It is a renewable resource with low input, low cost and quick effect, and has a broad development prospect.
