Professional profit analysis of mealworm breeding
Take the breeding of 100 kg of seed insects as an example:
The input cost for buying insect species is 100 kg × 120 yuan = 12,000 yuan. The site construction investment is 3,000 yuan (there are waste houses and warehouses to save costs and expenses), the equipment investment is 1,000 yuan, and the total investment is 16,000 yuan.
The mealworm seed can emerge into adults after 30 days of rearing, which is about 60 kg. Adults lay eggs once every 4 days, and they can lay 120 boxes at one time, and they can lay eggs continuously for 60-90 days (based on 70 days, they can produce 18 times).
Each box of worm eggs can produce 1.5 kg of larvae after one cycle. During this period (3 months), the number of larvae that can be produced in the plant each time is 120 boxes × 18 times × 1.5 kg boxes = 3240 kg. At this scale, the entire farm can produce 12,960 kg of larvae per month.
At present, the average selling price of larvae on the market is 24 yuan/kg (supermarket or restaurant). The income after deducting the raising cost of 5 yuan per kilogram is 12960 kilograms × 19 yuan = 246240 yuan. Deduction the cost of this period is 16,000 yuan, and the annual income of the Tenebrio Molitor farm is about 230240 yuan, which is a huge benefit for the mealworm breeders.
