Traditionally, mealworms are fed with wheat bran, rice bran, or corn. However, mealworms are omnivorous and can thrive on a wide variety of substrates as long as they provide the essential nutrients and have a suitable texture. For large-scale breeding operations, optimizing productivity and quality is crucial. One effective strategy is to reduce feeding costs by utilizing agricultural organic waste such as crop straw, sawdust, cottonseed hulls, bagasse, livestock manure, spent mushroom substrates, and byproducts from brewing industries. These materials can be transformed into high-quality feed for mealworms through the use of a specialized bio-fermentation agent.
This bio-fermentation agent is a carefully developed microbial blend designed specifically for tenebrio molitor. It contains beneficial microorganisms like bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, and yeast that work together to break down organic waste efficiently. By using this agent, farmers can ferment the waste in a shorter time, improving both its nutritional value and palatability. The fermented
Material develops a pleasant acidic and aromatic smell, making it more appealing to mealworms.
The process not only reduces labor and time—saving approximately 70% of the time and half the cost—but also ensures a safer and more sustainable approach. It helps convert waste into valuable resources, reducing environmental impact while enhancing the protein content and overall nutrition of the feed. This makes it an ideal and eco-friendly option for raising mealworms on a larger scale.
