Product Details

Yellow Mealworm Exuviae are the naturally shed exoskeletons of Tenebrio molitor during their growth and development. Processed through physical technologies such as screening, cleaning, and low-temperature drying, they retain natural core nutritional components. Featuring natural environmental friendliness, no additives, and extremely high chitin content, the product is a high-quality natural raw material in the fields of feed, breeding, agriculture, and biology, meeting the needs of ecological breeding and green industry development.

Core Nutritional & Functional Advantages

1. High-Purity Natural Chitin: Chitin content ≥90%, far exceeding that of ordinary yellow mealworm products. It has excellent biocompatibility and degradability, serving as a natural antibacterial and immunity-enhancing raw material.
2. No Additives & Higher Safety: Only processed through physical methods, free of antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, and artificial colors, complying with safety standards for green feed and biological products.
3. Eco-Friendly Attribute: Derived from naturally shed exoskeletons during yellow mealworm growth, it is a resource utilization of breeding by-products, reducing waste emissions and conforming to the concept of circular economy.
4. Outstanding Functionality: Can promote the balance of animal intestinal flora, enhance immunity, and simultaneously have certain insect-repellent and anti-stress effects, reducing the risk of breeding diseases.

Core Application Value

1. Feed Additive: Suitable for aquaculture (fish, shrimp, crabs), livestock breeding, and pet feeding. Adding it can improve animal disease resistance and growth performance, and enhance meat quality.
2. Biopesticide Raw Material: Can be made into natural insect repellents and disease-resistant inducers for green prevention and control of agricultural pests and diseases, reducing the use of chemical pesticides.
3. Biological Products & Cosmetics: As a high-purity chitin raw material, it can be used in the production of chitosan, health products (immune regulation), and cosmetics (moisturizing, antibacterial), etc.
4. Environmental Protection Materials: Can be processed into degradable biological materials for packaging, seedling substrates and other fields, contributing to the development of green industries.

Usage & Storage Instructions

1. Usage Suggestions: When used as a feed additive, the recommended addition ratio is 0.5%-2% (adjusted according to breeding species), crushed and evenly mixed into the feed; when used as a raw material for processing, the original flakes can be used directly or crushed to the corresponding particle size as needed.

2. Storage Requirements: Keep in a sealed container in a cool, dry and ventilated place, avoid moisture and direct sunlight, no refrigeration required. Proper storage can ensure the stability of nutritional components.

◉ Breeding and processing process

Breeding Facilities & Environmental Control

Use plastic basins/wooden boxes for small-scale, and stacked boxes or cement pools (with glass strips to prevent escape) for large-scale. A dark environment with a temperature of 25-29°C and a humidity of 60-70% is required.

Feeding management and life cycle

The main food is bran, supplemented with fruits and vegetables for water. The cycle of egg → larva → pupa → adult is completed in 80 days. It needs to be raised in stages to prevent cannibalism.

Multi-directional processing

Live insects are used as poultry aquatic feed, and dried products are ground into powder; oil and protein peptides can be extracted, insect feces can be used as fertilizer, and chitin can be extracted from the exoskeleton.

Industrial advantages and ecological value

The staple food is bran (70-80%), with fruits and vegetables added for moisture. The egg → larva → pupa → adult cycle is completed in 80 days. They need to be raised in stages to prevent cannibalism.
