Breeding Mealworms with the OFERA Mealworm Farm

[@lamuyeganiyu3288]

This book actually helped me Author: Mark Helen Title: How to Breed Mealworms for Beginners

[@Insideone1]

Thanks for good information

[@papabillychannel]

New subscriber here. Im a breeder of superworm as well. I want to try to eat my superworm because it was delicacy in some parts of our country. Just friend them with garlic and they are taste like nuts according to them. Hmmm Soon i will make a video about that. Thanks for this video :)

[@christopherrobin8169]

Wats the guitar picking song?? Love this video btw... am also getting into auto sifting

[@onsoycenk]

It seems gorgious but one question: How bettles lay eggs? Where do they exactly lay eggs and how do you seperate them for nursery?

[@organicfoodera]

@@onsoycenk Beetles lay their eggs in the substrate of the top tray or in the substrate that trickles down through the separation screen from the top tray into the larvae tray below.

[@onsoycenk]

@@organicfoodera thanks for the reply. Maybe it would be better to add an extra portable flat tray to seperate eggs from the substrate, so bettles could lay their eggs easily and continuously, just an idea :) But the tray system looks great!

1-You can replace commercial ration, by sugar cane colmo. The larvae can be produced exclusive by sugar colmos. 2-it is possible to reduce the production cycle and interfere in metabolic routes, it is possible to induce the bark changes in larva. Both Tenebrio Molitor and giant Tenebrio, all larvae, after eating 1 fruit, change bark between 24 to 48 hours. 1 carton: 38cm x 28 cm x 37 cm, can produce from 3.5 to 4, 0kg of larvae. Exclusively with sugar cane colmos. The fruit used was a solanacea. The research was conducted for 2 years in Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. I'm an agronomic engineer, posgraduated in molecular biology. 3 - To produce pupae you can pick up adult larvae, and put in insulated plastic cup, without food, they transfroma into pupae, epsecially Tenebrio giant. 4 - o reduce cannibalism can be used larvae of other insects, such as forage larva. And should improve the diet. 5 - To reduce production cost you can exclusively use stalk of sugar cane for larvae. In the 0.5 cm breeding box for chicken feed and sugar colmo. Don't use anything else. OBS: The larva of the Forgeira can be a bed plague of industrial aviary. I studied Biologico control of poultry litter pests. In fact this plague can be drastically reduced from aviaries. Biologico control is inexpensive and simple. We can removeer billion of insect larvae, per day, as well as adult insects, insect billion can be removed from the aviary, every day. is a small and black coleoptero, produces larvae, billion of larvae can be found in bed of aviary. I studied this plague for two years. It is possible to drastically reduce this pest or even eradicate, or keep at levels extremely low, easy, fast and low cost.

Hi, I like the video but I would love to have a video on how to make the javeta where the beetles are

[@badhonebrahim7707]

Man I just love ur setup

[@KayaksenFlores]

Klasse video! Vielen Dank!

[@organicfoodera]

@@KayaksenFlores Danke für dein Feedback! :)

[@darekpeponski919]

Your boxes are very nicely made. I'm thinking about purchasing it and I have a question: if I wanted to use a maximum of one colony of adult insects, how many floors would I have to build and how big would the flock have to be to use the full laying cycle as in a flock, on this area of ​​the box? ;)? I hope you understand what I mean ;)

[@organicfoodera]

Thanks for your feedback. With one colony in your Farm Top-Tray, you can use up to 4 additional trays with up to 1kg worms in each tray. The substrate height should be around 3cm in height.

[@cacapoopp1891]

Thank you so much! I am considering making my own farm for my whites tree frog as seen in my profile picture. This video helped a lot.

[@waldemarschuhknecht7488]

Wie lange dauert eigentlich das Schlüpfen der Larven aus den Eiern der Käfer ? - How long does it take for the larvae to hatch from the beetle's eggs?

[@organicfoodera]

Hallo! Bei entsprechenden Bedingungen (Raumtemperatur) etwa 2-3 Wochen

[@VictorFursov]

Very interesting story. Thank you. Best greetings from entomologists in Ukraine!

[@abyankabir1910]

Hey, one last question, what mesh size did you use for separating the big mealworms from the frass, eggs and smaller mealworms?

[@organicfoodera]

0,5mm

[@abyankabir1910]

@@organicfoodera thanks!

[@sizzlingsnowboarder5050]

If u want to keep it outside is there a certain temp it needs to be at

[@organicfoodera]

the optimal temperature is room temperature. but the most important thing is: keep it frost-protected, roofed and not sun-exposed!

[@sirjeytv]

is it applicable to superworms?

[@organicfoodera]

Yes it is!

[@MrSCHEEWYTOX]

I have a question: how much time per week is needed to take care or mealworms?

[@MrSCHEEWYTOX]

Do they smell?

[@organicfoodera]

Hi! It depends. I block the time of one hour for every two weeks. If you keep the substrate dry, they do not smell!

[@kishorenalam]

What about water requirement for larvae? dont they need any water source?

[@organicfoodera]

The worms and beetles get their water out of the fruit & vegetable scraps you feed them!

[@adelelow6480]

[@organicfoodera]

yes! you can!

[@mochmuhlismuhlis4142]

what media to use for beetles and what to feed and drink for beetles and caterpillars

[@organicfoodera]

you can use oats or breadcrumbs. mealworms and beetles get there water out of vegetables and fruits.

[@abyankabir1910]

What is the size of the net mesh that you used to separate the eggs from the mealworms? I am making one, but the net that I have is 1/20th of an inch, so I am worried that it is too small for the eggs and the baby mealworms to go through. So please let me know what sizes mesh I should use. Thank you. Please reply.

[@organicfoodera]

We use 1mmx1mm mesh size

In your experience, what are the foods that bring the best results, such as bigger and fatter worms?

[@organicfoodera]

Wheaten bran as base substrate and some „wet food“ like carotts & potatoes. That‘s a good mix!

[@cbrunk5370]

I love the lip for the pupa that is a great idea. I tend to put my pupa on cardboard egg crates and they seam to be fine without any cannibalization. But I can not confirm this. with that system you can. I think I am going to diy something like that.
