A study conducted in Guizhou, People's Republic of China, explores the potential of insect farming as a sustainable food source. The researchers focused on the mealworm Tenebrio molitor and tested 10 different larval diets in a laboratory setting. They found that diets containing wheat bran alone or in combination with maize and porridge resulted in the greatest growth and survival rates for the mealworms. The study concludes that optimizing mealworm rearing practices, particularly using wheat bran, could contribute to sustainable food production and the use of mealworms as a protein source.
