What is the cost of raising Tenebrio molitor?

First, the condition is more serious. Five or six years ago, Tenebrio molitor diseases rarely occurred. At that time, a kilo of seed worms could breed and produce dozens of kilos of commercial worms. At present, the commercial insects produced by breeding one kilogram of seed insects are about 6 kilograms. At present, the market price of a kilo of seed worms ranges from 56 yuan to 60 yuan, and the recovery price ranges from 3.5 yuan to 4 yuan. If some companies promise to breed 8 kilograms of adults per kilogram of insects, the total income will not exceed that of 32 yuan, nor will it reach the import price. And many companies have minimum entry requirements, from 100 kg to about 500 kg. The risk can be imagined.

Second, the breeding cost is not low. According to farmers, at present, it takes about 3 kg to 4 kg of bran and 3 kg of vegetables to raise 1 kg of Tenebrio molitor, and the feed cost is about 2 yuan. If dead loss, equipment and labor input are added, the cost per catty will exceed that of 3 yuan. According to the company's purchase price, such costs are basically unprofitable.

Third, the market is not mature enough. A few years ago, Tenebrio molitor was mainly used as feed for special aquaculture, or sold sporadically in the market of flowers, birds, fish and insects. In recent years, through the efforts of some companies, the export market of products has been expanded. Some companies are willing to buy Tenebrio molitor as long as they can make a profit. But the problem is that companies with high purchase prices do not make money, and farmers with low purchase prices do not make money, so it is difficult to balance the interests of both sides. At present, no effective solution has been found. Tenebrio molitor is an omnivorous insect, and its crude protein consumption is as high as 70.66% (dry weight). The nutritional value of 1kg Tenebrio molitor is equivalent to 25kg wheat bran or 1000kg green, and 3%-6% fresh insects can replace the same amount of domestic fish meal.

Many countries in the world are using Tenebrio molitor as resources, such as feeding rare birds with Tenebrio molitor alive and providing high-quality protein feed for aquatic products (such as shrimp, bullfrog, eel and crab), birds, snakes and scorpions.

Dried worms can replace fish meal as feed additives, and food made from Tenebrio molitor pupae can be put on the table, from which medical raw materials chitin (chitin and chitosan) can be extracted to produce beauty cosmetics, fruit and vegetable yield-increasing ripening agents, health care products and so on.

Since the project of "demonstration and popularization of Tenebrio molitor factory production technology" was included in the national agricultural harvest plan in 20001-2003, the social awareness has been greatly improved and it has been rapidly applied in various fields. Some experts predict that Tenebrio molitor breeding will become the third largest breeding industry after traditional insect industries such as silkworms and bees.

The breeding technology of Tenebrio molitor is simple and easy to master. You can keep the seeds once and cultivate them in your spare time. The main feeding methods are wheat bran, rice bran, vegetable leaves, watermelon peel, bean curd residue, straw, peanuts, corn and other orange stalks. Generally, 3 kg of wheat bran produces 1 kg of fresh Tenebrio molitor.

Farmers can use their vacant rooms, balconies, etc. If you are feeding, do a good job of preventing rats and keep the room dark. Farmers can selectively invest in breeding according to their own conditions. Now take 50 kilograms of seed insects as an example for investment analysis:

1. Workshop area: 30-40m2.

2. Initial investment: 200 wooden cases (length, width and height 80×40×8cm, which can hold 2-5kg of insects), 6 yuan/box, *** 1200 yuan.

3. There are 25 spawning screens, one in 2 yuan and one in 50 yuan.

4. Seed purchase: 6000 yuan.

Total: 7250 yuan.

Economic benefit analysis:

The cost of producing 1kg fresh worms with wheat bran: 3kg wheat bran× 1.3 yuan /kg = 3.9 yuan /kg is needed to produce1.3 yuan/kg fresh worms. Green feed is needed 1kg×0.2 yuan /kg=0.2 yuan, the total cost per kg is 4. 1 yuan /kg, and the company's protection price is 8 yuan /kg. After feeding 50kg Tenebrio molitor for three months, it can produce 400kg fresh worms every month, and the profit (8 yuan. 1 yuan) /kg×400 kg = 1560 yuan/month, and the annual profit is 1560 yuan/month×10 month (the first two months are the development period) =65438.

The above is calculated according to the market price of 8 yuan/kg of fresh worms. If the market price of fresh worms is 24-40 yuan/kg (the market prices in Jiangxi, Fujian, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Guangzhou), the income will be doubled. In the north of the Yangtze River, wheat bran, orange stalks and other feeds are cheaper than those in the south, and the benefits are more considerable. The profit of using wheat bran is above 45%, and the profit of using orange stalk is above 65%.

Biochain income of Tenebrio molitor:

Tenebrio molitor dung and skin can not only be used as high-quality farmyard manure, but also have a protein content as high as 24.8%, which can be mixed into feed at the ratio of 10-20%. The growth and health of animals have been greatly improved and malnutrition has been greatly reduced. Tenebrio molitor dung and sand can be directly put into fish ponds to feed fish, which is not only a high-quality feed for fish, but also can alleviate the odor of pond water and effectively control the occurrence of fish diseases.

Tenebrio molitor can produce 0.6 kg of dung skin per kilogram of feed, and the waste produced by raising 50 kg of Tenebrio molitor can feed 1 0,000 chickens,10.20 pigs and 2,000 kilograms of fish. According to the market price of fish, 2000 kg ×7 yuan/kg = 1.400 yuan. That is, the annual income can be increased by 14000 yuan. (for reference only) I hope I can help you!
