The application scope of dried mealworms for chickens mainly includes the following aspects:
Replacement of part of fish meal: Mealworms can replace part of fish meal and save feed costs. Fish meal is a common source of protein in feed, but the price is relatively high. By adding mealworms, feed costs can be effectively reduced.
Increase the palatability of feed: Mealworms can be made into protein powder after dehydration. This powder is added to chicken feed to improve the palatability of feed and make chickens more willing to eat feed.
Promote the growth and development of chickens: Mealworms contain a variety of essential amino acids and growth factors, which can promote the growth and development of chickens, increase egg production and hatching rate.
Improve the quality of native chickens: Native chickens fed with mealworms have excellent growth conditions, delicious meat, and significantly improved creatine content, making the meat more superior, delicious and delicate, and the nutritional value is also greatly improved. In addition, native chickens fed with mealworms have enhanced immunity, improved disease resistance, and the quality and taste of eggs are also optimized.
Improve egg quality: Adding processed mealworm sand in chicken feed can increase egg production rate, improve egg quality, make eggshells stronger and egg yolks brighter.
Usage and precautions:
Add in appropriate amount: The proportion of mealworms added to chicken feed should be appropriate. Excessive amount may affect the healthy growth of chickens.
Select high-quality mealworms: Using high-quality mealworms can improve the nutritional value of feed, but also pay attention to the preservation and processing of mealworms.
Feed quality issues: Chicken feed with mealworms should have a complete nutritional formula, select high-quality raw materials, and strictly control the processing technology and quality.
