FEED FOR RAISING WAX MOTH CATERPILLARS, STARTING FROM THIRD INSTAR, AND METHOD OF OBTAINING IT Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A01K67/33 

FIELD: insect biotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to nutrient substrates for the artificial breeding of wax moth caterpillars. Feed for raising wax moth caterpillars, starting from the third instar, contains drinking water, whole wheat grain, coarse wheat grits, margarine with a fat content of 82% and sugar in the form of white sand. The method of obtaining feed includes boiling whole wheat grains in drinking water at a temperature of 100° C for 20 minutes. Then coarse wheat grits are added and cooked for another 15 minutes, margarine with 82% fat and sugar are also added. The feed is mixed until a homogeneous mass is obtained, removed from the heat treatment source, covered with a lid and removed to cool to room temperature. Ready-made feed is added to cages with caterpillars, starting from the 3rd instar, the feed is evenly distributed over the surface of the natural substrate.

EFFECT: use of a group of inventions will improve the safety of biomaterial.
