[Objective] The study aimed at reducing the economic cost in feeding Tenebrio molitor and improving the utilization ratio of corn stalks.[Method] The effects of different proportions of corn stalks on the weigh of Tenebrio molitor and the contents of crude protein,crude fat,Ca,P,dry matter and crude ash in the half-dry matter of Tenebrio molitor had been studied in the laboratory.[Result] Compared with the recipes of all wheat bran and pure fine fodder,feeding Tenebrio molitor by applying 30%-60% of corn stalks could significantly improve the content of crude protein in the half-dry materials of Tenebrio molitor,but it was detrimental to the improvement in weight of Tenebrio molitor and the accumulation of crude fat.To be specific,the recipe V(50% of corn stalks + 50% of fine fodder) was beneficial to the accumulation of dry matter and crude ash.The recipe VII(70% of corn stalks + 30% of fine fodder) and the recipe VIII(70% of corn stalks treated with Guangda feed leaven + 30% of fine fodder) were beneficial to the accumulation of crude protein,Ca and P.There were differences among the influences of corn stalks in different treatments on the crude protein and other nutrition indicators of Tenebrio molitor.[Conclusion] Appropriately applying corn stalks can improve the accumulation of the crude protein,crude ash,dry matter,Ca and P of Tenebrio molitor but was detrimental to the growth and development of Tenebrio molitor and the accumulation of crude fat.
[ Objective] The study aimed to reseamh the effect of Tenebrio molitor powder on the growth of Beauveria bassiana. [ Method ] The larvae of T. molitorwas used as the additive to add in the PDA medium, preparing 7 concentrations including 4, 2, 1,0.5, 0.25, 0.125 and 0.062 5 g/100 ml, the medium without adding any T. molitorlarva was set as control. The indexes such as the growth rate, spore germination rate, mycelium diameter, sporulaUon time, sporulatian quantity and POD activity of B. bassiana were determined. [ Result] Adding T. molitor larva to the PDA medium could increase the growth rate, spore germination rate, sporulation time, sporulatJon quantity and POD actJvity of B. bassiana, while had relatively small effect on spore size and mycelium diameter. The comprehensive evaluation screening showed that the medium with 4 g additive was the best for the growth of B. bassiana, different indexes all had obvious predominance. [ Conclusion] The study provided the basis for using T. molitor to culture B. baasianaa
