Mealworm breeding

Mealworm farming encompasses the controlled breeding of Tenebrio molitor for use in animal feed, food, and other bio-based applications. This segment is gaining importance because mealworms are attractive as a resource-efficient protein source in the circular economy and for the utilization of by-products. At the same time, regulatory requirements, hygiene, allergen management, and product safety are shaping market development. With increasing professionalization, scalable husbandry and processing systems, stable feeding concepts, and standardized production conditions are also coming into sharper focus. This makes mealworm farming a relevant future segment for sustainable, controllable, and versatile insect production.

After breeding, mealworms (larvae of the flour beetle) are sold in various containers to zoos, bird breeders, chicken farms, etc. sent. The amount is not determined by counting the animals, but by the weight (50g-1kg).

During mealworm breeding, various developmental stages are examined microscopically to reliably monitor the animals' health. This supports stable breeding, improves quality control, and helps to detect abnormalities early.
