Tenebrio molitor, also known as the yellow mealworm, has a very broad diet and can consume various agricultural by-products, livestock manure, and even wine lees. These materials can be processed using fermentation techniques, such as those offered by the Ginba Fermenter, to turn them into high-quality feed. In many regions, wine lees are a readily available resource, but there are some important considerations when using them for feeding mealworms.
One of the most critical factors is the presence of rosin and other organic compounds found in these by-products. They often contain high levels of organic and inorganic acids, which can lower the pH of the feed. Before using them, it's essential to adjust the pH to around 7-8 using lime or another suitable neutralizing agent. This is similar to the optimal pH level for goldfish fermentation, which is also around 8.
When selecting raw materials, avoid those that already have a strong, unpleasant odor, as they may indicate spoilage or contamination. If you're using straw or similar fibrous materials, make sure to crush them first to improve digestibility. It's also beneficial to mix several different types of raw materials together to create a more balanced and nutritious feed.
When introducing new feed sources, start with small amounts and gradually increase the proportion over time. Never replace the existing feed completely in one go, as this can cause digestive issues for the mealworms. Always monitor their behavior and health closely during the transition.
