Description
Guillermo Fondevila leads a team in a 2024 study of bread by-product and maize silage as feeds for mealworm larvae. The larvae of Tenebrio molitor are farmed as a source of protein. What they are raised on sets both their growth and their cost, so cheap farm leftovers are worth a close test.
Four matched diets were set: a control of grain, bran, and soybean meal, and three where part of the grain and bran gave way to bread by-product, with or without silage. Larvae on the control and bread diets grew best. The bread group also ate the most, and the no-silage diets turned feed to weight with the best ratio.
