What is the economy of raising Tenebrio molitor?

Tenebrio molitor, commonly known as the breadworm, is a fleshy mollusk with a protein content as high as 50%. In addition, it also contains many trace elements such as phosphorus, potassium, iron, sodium and aluminum, and 16 amino acids necessary for animal growth. Every 100g of dried product contains 874.9mg of amino acids. According to the determination, the nutritional value of 1kg Tenebrio molitor is equivalent to 25kg of wheat bran, 20kg of compound feed and 1 1,000 kg of green feed, and it is known as "protein feed treasure house".

Tenebrio molitor is an excellent feed for poultry, fish, turtle, eel, tilapia, bullfrog, giant salamander, scorpion, centipede and snake. Feeding young birds with Tenebrio molitor compound feed can achieve a survival rate of over 95%, and the egg production of laying hens can be increased by 20%. Feeding Tenebrio molitor to wild medicinal animals such as scorpions can increase the reproductive rate by 2 times.

Although Tenebrio molitor is valuable, it is extremely simple to raise, as long as the inner wall of the container is smooth and can prevent escape. Low cost and high economic benefit. Three-dimensional production within 10㎡, with a monthly output of 200 ~ 400 kg. Feeding Tenebrio molitor is not limited by regional climate conditions (10℃ will not freeze to death). As long as the correct feeding methods are mastered, the success rate can reach 90%.

Famous foreign biological products enterprises all use Tenebrio molitor to make nutritional health products, which can improve human immunity, resist fatigue, delay aging, reduce blood fat and fight cancer. The effect of SOD extracted from Tenebrio molitor as anti-aging, anti-wrinkle and whitening cosmetics is better than that of existing market products. The latest anticancer drug developed by developing insect chitin particles is extracted from Tenebrio molitor chitin, and its curative effect is as high as 65%. Widely used as fresh feed for rare birds, animals and special aquaculture, such as birds, turtles and snakes. It is also the main feed for artificial breeding of Rana chensinensis in China. The nutrition of animals fed with Tenebrio molitor is 2 ~ 3 times higher than that of other feeds, and it grows fast. China is a big country in feeding, feed consumption and production, and the demand for feed additives is huge. The annual demand of feed additives in protein is 20 million tons, which can only meet 40% of the demand at present. There is still a big gap, which shows how broad the market prospect of breeding Tenebrio molitor is.

It can provide efficient and high-quality bio-organic fertilizer, improve soil structure and promote the development of planting industry. Tenebrio molitor dung contains 3.37% nitrogen, 65438 0.04% phosphorus, 65438 0.4% potassium, seven trace elements of zinc, boron, manganese, magnesium and copper, and 82% organic matter. Applying high-efficiency bio-organic fertilizer with insect manure as the main raw material can not only increase soil fertility, increase crop yield and improve the quality of agricultural products, but also reduce agricultural production costs and improve soil. At present, the supply of real high-efficiency bio-organic fertilizer products in the market is not large, which is unstable and can not meet the needs of high-efficiency agricultural production. Therefore, the high-efficiency bio-organic fertilizer produced by this project with insect manure as the main raw material has a good market prospect. In addition, as a component of pig feed, insect manure has a good feeding effect.

CCTV has made a special report that breeding Tenebrio molitor is a good way for urban and rural areas to get rich. The large-scale breeding and industrialization project of Tenebrio molitor is a key funded project of the national harvest plan of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery, and is listed as a national "Tenth Five-Year Plan" project. As a new dish, insect pupa dish has been served, and all major star-rated hotels are special dishes, which are expensive.
