Growth Potential of Yellow Mealworm Reared on Industrial Residues [PDF]
Agriculture, 2020 Since the world’s population will continue to grow in the next decades, the problem of providing people with food will deepen. One-third of the food production volume is wasted while nearly one in ten people in the world suffer from hunger. To reduce the

Influence of Different Diets on Growth and Nutritional Composition of Yellow Mealworm. [PDF]
Foods, 2022 Insects are a pathway through which agro-food waste can become a high-quality source of nutrients for both livestock and humans. Yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor L., Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) larvae are currently one of the insect species permitted for consumption, and they are reared on a large scale in Europe.

Impact of Enzymatically Treated Substrate on Yellow Mealworm Development and Composition. [PDF]
InsectsNowadays, insects are reared for food and feed. This idea includes the rearing of yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor L.). The study aimed to assess the effect of pretreatment of lignocellulosic materials on the growth, survival, and chemical composition of mealworm larvae. The main factor in the experiment was the type of feed.
