What Are Mealworms?
Mealworms are the larval stage of the darkling beetle Tenebrio molitor (Linnaeus, 1758), belonging to the family Tenebrionidae within the order Coleoptera. These segmented, cylindrical larvae display a characteristic golden-yellow to amber coloration and are widely recognized as one of the most commercially scalable edible insects globally. Their docile nature, simple dietary requirements, and rapid biomass accumulation make them ideal candidates for industrial-scale insect farming operations.
Mealworms Breeding and Rearing Process
Our mealworm breeding program operates within climate-controlled indoor rearing rooms maintained at 26–28°C and 60–70% relative humidity, optimizing larval development cycles to approximately 8–10 weeks from egg to harvest-ready larvae. Breeding colonies are fed a certified grain-based substrate — primarily wheat bran supplemented with fresh vegetable matter — free from pesticide residues and animal by-products. Each batch undergoes multi-stage quality screening, including pathogen testing and moisture content verification, before processing or live dispatch.
Mealworms Biological Specifications
Harvest-stage Tenebrio molitor larvae supplied by our China mealworm facility typically measure 25–32 mm in body length and weigh 130–180 mg per individual. On a dry matter basis, crude protein content reaches 47–53%, crude fat ranges between 28–36%, and ash content is approximately 3.2%. The chitin content averages 5–6% of dry weight, contributing to immune-stimulating properties in target animals. Dried mealworms maintain a moisture content below 8%, ensuring a shelf life of 12–18 months under proper storage conditions (≤20°C, humidity ≤55%).
