Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Research summary: farmed yellow mealworm welfare, published by abrahamrowe on January 3, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post is a short summary of a peer-reviewed, open access publication on yellow mealworm welfare in the Journal of Insects as Food and Feed. The paper and supplemental information can be accessed here. The original paper was written by Meghan Barrett, Rebekah Keating Godfrey, Alexandra Schnell, and Bob Fischer; the research conducted in the paper was funded by Rethink Priorities. This post was written by Abraham Rowe and reviewed by Meghan Barrett. Unless cited otherwise, all information is derived from the Barrett et al. 2023 publication. Summary As of 2020, around 300 billion yellow mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are farmed annually (though recent estimates now put this figure at over 3 trillion individuals ( Pells, 2023 )). Barrett et al. 2023 is the first publication to consider species-specific welfare concerns for farmed mealworms. The authors identify 15 current and future welfare concerns, including more pressing current concerns such as: Disease - Bacterial, fungal, protist, and viral pathogens can cause sluggishness, tissue damage, slowed growth, increased susceptibility to other diseases, and even mass-mortality events. High larval rearing densities - Density can cause a range of negative effects, including increased cannibalism and disease, higher chances of heat-related death, competition over food leading to malnutrition, and behavioral restriction near pupation. Inadequate larval nutrition - This may result from not providing enough protein in the animals' largely grains-based diet. Light use during handling - Photophobic adults and larvae may experience significant stress due to light use during handling. Slaughter methods - While we have high empirical uncertainty about the relative harms of slaughter methods, it is clear that some approaches to slaughter and depopulation on farms are more harmful than others. Future concerns that haven't yet been realized on farms include: Novel, potentially toxic, or inadequate feed substrates - Polymers (like plastics) and mycotoxin-contaminated grains may be more likely to be used in the future. Selective breeding and genetic modification - In vertebrate animals, selective breeding has caused a large number of welfare issues. The same might be expected to become true for mealworms. Current rearing and slaughter practices Yellow mealworms are the larval instars of a species of darkling beetle, Tenebrio molitor. Larvae go through a number of molts prior to pupation, which can take between a few months to two years depending on nutrition and abiotic conditions. Mealworms take up to 20 days to pupate. After pupating, the emerged adult beetles will mate within 3-5 days. Mealworms are a popular insect to farm for food due to their rapid growth, high nutrient content, and ease of handling. Adults are typically only used for breeding, while large larvae are sold as food and feed. Mealworms typically consume decaying grains, but have been reported to eat a wide variety of other foods in certain circumstances (including dead insects, other mealworms, and decaying wood). In farmed conditions, larval mealworms are fed a diet of 70%-85% cereals and other carbohydrates, and may be provided with supplementary protein, fruit, or vegetables. Mealworms are reared in stackable crates, usually with screened bottoms to allow frass (insect excrement) to fall through and not accumulate. Mealworms may be reared in up to 24-hour darkness, as they are photophobic. Insects bound for slaughter are collected at around 100 mg. Prior to slaughter, insects are sieved out of the substrate, washed (to remove frass and other waste from the exterior surface of their bodies), and prevented from eating for up to two days (ca...

No, not the game.Ceratophrys is a genus of frogs in the family Ceratophryidae. They are also known as South American horned frogs as well as Pacman frogs due to their characteristic round shape and large mouth, reminiscent of the video game character Pac-Man. In captivity, C. cranwelli, C. ornata and C. cornuta are the most popular species, along with the "fantasy frog", a captive-produced hybrid between C. cranwelli and C. cornuta. These frogs can live in a 10-gallon aquarium for their entire lives. They thrive best with a shallow bowl of water, loose moist substrate (like coco coir), and hiding places. They will commonly cover themselves with substrate or just sit contentedly in the water. These frogs should be misted daily to ensure proper humidity. Temperatures should be maintained between 75° and 80°F (24° to 27°C) during the day, dropping a few degrees at night. They can be fed crickets, earthworms, silkworms, phoenix worms, butterworms, and occasionally guppies, mice, and waxworms. Mealworms and superworms should not be fed to them, due to their hard chitinous shell.

Those new to chicken keeping ask about the diet and how to diversify it so it is not just the chicken feed. One of the common questions is:" Is it okay for chickens to eat mealworms?" If you want to upgrade your chicken's diet and egg quality, mealworms are the right thing for you (and the chickens). Giving mealworms to your backyard chickens has numerous health benefits, and they are one of the chicken's favorite treats. In addition, they are packed with protein which is good for meat and egg production. Let's check out why you need to include mealworms in your chicken-eating regime immediately!  Full:  Is It Okay for chickens to Eat Mealworms? (Nutritional Benefits)

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has added sesame to its list of major allergens, making it easier for people with sesame allergies to safely consume packaged food without fear of an allergic reaction. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the newly listed allergen and the labeling requirements that come with it. While the requirement that sesame be listed as an allergen came into effect at the start of 2023, consumers may still find food products for sale that don't list it on the label since they were produced prior to January 1st. Identifying which foods contain sesame is an important step in food safety and health care as an estimated 0.2 percent of children and adults in the US are allergic to sesame. The team wonders why it took nearly 20 years for sesame to be added to the FDA's list of major allergens and how it will impact food products that aren't packaged as well as food at restaurants. Also in this episode, Sydney talks about the recent approval of house crickets in food products in the European Union (EU). The newly approved regulation will allow food producers to introduce the partially defatted dry powder of the house cricket into the EU food market.The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also approved the powder production process, which includes a 24-hour fasting period for the insects before they are frozen, washed, thermally processed, have their oil extracted and, finally transformed into dried-up powder. Food containing house cricket products will require appropriate labels since some researchers believe that these insects could cause allergic reactions in consumers allergic to crustaceans, dust mites and mollusks. The team discusses consumer willingness to try food products that contain house crickets and wonders whether vegetarians and vegans would eat insect-containing products.Read the full article here:Sesame Allergies Cause FDA to List Sesame as the 9th Major AllergenEU Approves Use of House Crickets in Food ProductsFor more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social Media Twitter: @XtalksFoodInstagram: @XtalksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferencesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured

If worms can recycle, so can we. As a society we've deposited over 9 million tons of plastic in the last 50 years and only 9% of that plastic has been recycled. On this episode of Preview of Tomorrow, Marc Lacroix, Cofounder of Worm Generation, explains how his company is combating this issue in a rather unique way. Worm Generation has created a farm project that utilizes mealworms to transform plastic into productive and organic matter. Thanks to the bacteria in their gut, mealworms are able to safely and effectively biodegrade plastics completely. Their plastic-free waste can then be used as a natural fertilizer. Support the show

SHOW NOTES Are you looking for your niche in agriculture?  Do you wish you could farm but not have to work outside during the cold and windy winters?  Would you like to provide food directly to people but also for livestock?  If so, today's episode is for you. On today's show, we discuss the emerging market of mealworms for human and animal consumption with Cheryl Powers of Jord Producers.  Cheryl knew she wanted to return to agriculture, but she defined a set of parameters before deciding what she would do.  Between defining how she wanted to farm and what she wanted her business to accomplish she discovered mealworm production. Now Cheryl is identifying new markets, producing brood worms, and has team members helping her to grow this business.  If you are looking for your niche, this episode is for you! ADVICE FROM CHERYL: SKILLS: Look for team members that have skills that you lack.  They need to compliment you in this way. HELP: Find help in your community in developing businesses. Then take full advantage. INTERVIEW: Interview potential customers as you are developing your idea.  This will help you know whether or not it is viable, and how to pivot your business. BEST BUSINESS ADVICE CHERYL HAS RECEIVED: DELIVER:  You better be able to deliver what you promise.  Don't be just another company that makes big claims but cannot follow through.

This episode is about Mealworms

Beetles...not just for breakfast anymore!

Crickets are a popular insect protein for humans, and black soldier fly larvae receive most of the attention among chicken keepers; Cheryl Powers, Jord Producers, plans to change that by farming mealworms as a supplemental chicken feed. Actually, she's working to position mealworms for reptiles, exotic birds, and humans (but we tend to stick to chickens). One of the biggest benefits of mealworms is that they are high in protein. There has also been published research in Poultry Science that shows feeding mealworms to chickens can increase average daily gain, feed conversation, egg size, and flavor. According to Cheryl, you only need to feed a small amount of mealworms to see an increase in the protein intake of the chickens' diet. Less than 10 mealworms is her recommendation. Chickens love the mealworms, and they will forage on them without hesitation. There can be too much of a good thing. If the birds fill up on the fiber of the mealworms, they won't get all the other vitamins, mineral, and nutrients they need to thrive. Mealworms, in other words, are not a complete diet. Nutrition of Mealworm as Chicken Feed According to analysis by Jord Producers, the mealworm contains the following nutrition profile: Protein As-fed: 19% Dry Matter: 55% Fiber As-fed: 3% Dry Matter: 8% Fat As-fed: 9% Dry Matter: 26% As-fed calculations represent the live mealworm, as eaten by the chicken. The dry matter removes the water from mealworm, thereby concentrating the nutrition. Growing Mealworms for Chicken Feed As Cheryl describes in the podcast episode, the mealworms are raised on a wheat bran with sliced potatoes or carrots as a water source. Mealworms are farmed indoors in an environmentally controlled space. The tubs containing the mealworms are stacked vertically, making this a versatile farming operation. One of the company's growers, has actually repurposed an unused hog farrowing barn for the mealworm farm. Jord Produces is in the first year of business and building markets as they learn to be insect farmers. They have a first goal of being able to produce 400 pounds of mealworms a week. For now, the poultry focus will be on supplemental feeds and treats for chickens. Cracking the commodity pricing floor to compete with soy is a difficult task. The other interesting challenge is that it takes mealworms approximately two-and-a half months to reach harvest. When you put that in perspective, a cornish cross chicken can be ready to harvest in under two months (7 or 8 weeks). But as more and more consumers move toward soy-free fed poultry products, insect proteins may make inroads as a poultry feed ingredient, pending certification from  the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).

In Episode 26 of CritterCast we talk about a critter that we always have at home, even if you may not know it. Mealworms … Read More Read More

DO YOU CARE ABOUT THE APOCALYPSE? Okay cool. No matter what your diet, get this episode in your ears. Entomophagy Anthropologist Dr. Julie Lesnik -- an enthusiastic expert on bug eating -- breaks down the human past, present and future of insect cuisine for our surging population. If you're considering cutting back on meat, or if you're a vegan helping others explore more sustainable options, Dr. Lesnik will get you pumped as hell for changing mindsets. We talk about grasshopper tacos, ant omelettes, the nature of life, humane bug slaughter, water conservation, deep-fried scorpions, at-home mealworm farming, cricket chips, protein needs and the cultural biases that are literally killing us. Also: termite farts.

We discuss all things mealworms, including farming, cooking, and the Ick Factor. Our panel includes Mealflour's Elizabeth Frank & Gabby Weimer, Rocky Mountain Micro Ranch's founder & CEO Wendy Lu McGill, and Scott Jost, founder of Space Coast Mealworms and The Mealworm Co-op. We have edible insect news from Europe in our European Buzz segment, and in the Cricketlicious Cafe, ChefPV creates a Hargol Cesar Salad.

This week, the triumphant return of LizardBeth! Well, ok, maybe not so triumphant, as we have this pile of food to eat. Cookie Butter, Nut and Seed-less Peanut Butter Substitute, Limited Edition Chicken nuggets, and chocolate hummus to name but a few. To wash it all down there is sour beer, coconut beer, and rose cider. And THAT is just the start of what we have this episode... We have such sights to show you, when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

A brief and simple description of how to farm your own meal worms for your pets

On this edition of the Ento Nation podcast, we talk with Julianne Kopf, COO and co-Founder of Bugeater Foods.  Bugeater Foods creates nutritious and delicious foods like “Jump” cricket based protein shake, and Julianne will let us in on some of the new goodies that Bugeater Foods will be turning out this coming year. We also have a chat with Dr. Aaron T. Dossey, Founder of All Things Bugs LLC, GrioPro Cricket Powder (the original cricket powder), and editor of the book “Insects as Sustainable Food Ingredients”; you won’t want to miss this informative conversation. In the Cricket licious Café, ChefPV teaches us how to make Mealworm Mac n Cheese Souffles, and on The Night Talker, it’s “Night of the Frogs”… … Mealworm Mac n Cheese Souffle INGREDIENTS 1 ½ TBSP BUTTER 1 TBSP ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR ¾ cup MILK SALT (to taste) PEPPER (to taste) 1 cup SMOKED GOUDA CHEESE (shredded) 1 EGG YOLK 2 EGG WHITES 1 cup Bugeater Foods MEALWORM MACARONI PASTA (cooked) ¼ cup MEALWORMS (thawed) DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350°F. In a saucepan melt the BUTTER, add the FLOUR and stir on medium heat for a minute. Add the MILK gradually while stirring to avoid lumps. Season to taste with SALT and PEPPER and stir the sauce until sauce thickens. Remove saucepan from heat and mix in the CHEESE until melted. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the EGG YOLK and mix into cheese sauce. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the EGG WHITES until stiff peaks are formed. Gently fold the cheese sauce into the egg whites until well combined. Butter the ramekins then fill a little more than a third of the way with MEALWORM MACARONI PASTA. Fill the ramekins to almost full with cheese sauce then top with MEALWORMS. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake souffles on the middle rack for 15 - 20 minutes until the surface becomes golden. Serve immediately

On this edition of the Ento Nation podcast, we sit down for a fascinating conversation with Ento Industry mover and shaker Robert Nathan Allen, better known as RNA. RNA is the founder of Little Herds and co-founder of GrubTubs. Little Herds educates and empowers communities, both locally and globally, to support and promote the use of insects for food and feed as an environmentally sound and economically viable source of nutrition, and Grub Tubs is a table to farm food waste recycling service. In our Cricketlicious Café segment, Chef PV creates some Mealworm Latkes for the Holidays. And “The Night Talker” takes a twisted turn… Mealworm Latkes Latke Sauce 1 TBSP Mayo 1 TBSP Horseradish 1 TBSP Yogurt 1 TBSP Maple Syrup 1/4 tsp Five Spice Powder 1/4 tsp Sriracha   Mealworm Latkes 2 cups Yukon Gold Potatoes (grated) 1 cup Sunchokes (grated) 1/4 cup Red Onion (grated) 2 Eggs (whisked) 1/2 TBSP Rosemary (minced) 2 TBSPs All Purpose Cricket Flour 1 cup Mealworms 1 tsp Himilayan Pink Salt Sesame Oil Chives (chopped) Place a sesame-oiled baking sheet into oven and preheat oven to 450°F Whisk Latke Sauce ingredients together in mixing bowl and set aside in fridge. Line a large mixing bowl with a lint-free kitchen towel and add the potatoes, sunchokes and red onion to the bowl. Wring excess liquid from the grated ingredients. Release wrung ingredients into a dry, large mixing bowl. Add egg, rosemary and cricket flour to grated ingredients and combine. Stir in mealworms and himalayan pink salt Remove baking sheet from oven, drop batter in the desired size onto baking pan and return to oven for 6 minutes. Flip Latkes and cook for 6 more minutes on the other side Serve on a plate with sauce and chives

"The Veterans Day Special and the Super Cricket". The Cricket Man (USCG vet) talks with James Rolin (USCG vet/Nat’l Guard) about the cutting edge direction the cricket farm (Cowboy Cricket Farms) he runs with his wife Kathy (also USCG vet) is taking with regard to creating a “Super Cricket”. Also, ChefPV will show you how to take the US Military’s greatest culinary invention, the protein bar, and tweak it Ento-style to give you Maple Mealworm Energy Balls that you can make right in your own kitchen! The Cricket Man also talks about the link between Agri-therapy and PTSD. All that plus Ento News and Events from around the globe, and another exciting episode of “As the Crickets Chirp”. … Maple Mealworm Energy Balls (makes 16 energy balls) 2 TBSP Butter ½ cup Mealworms (thawed) 2 TBSP Maple Syrup 1 cup Quick Oats 2 tsp Chia Seeds 2 TBSP Psyllium Husks ¼ cup GrioPro Cricket Powder ½ tsp Cinnamon ¼ tsp Sal de Gusano or Himalayan Pink Sea Salt ⅓ cup Chocolate Chips ¼ cup Sunflower Seeds ½ cup Medjool Dates ½ cup Nut Butter ¼ cup Honey 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Melt Butter in a skillet over medium-high heat then add Mealworms and saute about 5 minutes.  Mix in Maple Syrup and saute 1 minute more.  Remove from heat onto a plate and set aside. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the Oats, Chia Seeds, Psyllium Husks, Cricket Powder, Cinnamon and Salt. Add Chocolate Chips, Sunflower Seeds and Medjool Dates.  Stir again making sure to separate the date pieces. Add the Nut Butter, Honey and Vanilla Extract. Stir the ingredients together until well combined. Once combined, roll into bite-sized balls using your hands. Lightly press caramelized Mealworms on top of the energy balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or dinner plate. Place the baking sheet/plate into the freezer for about 20 minutes until the balls are firm. Remove from freezer and store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to eat.    

Have you ever thought about the magnitude of the Climate Change problem? How many people there are now? How little there is left of pristine nature? Has it ever just eaten up your hope? It'll ruin your day - it could ruin a week, a month, your everyday - your island might be washing away, BUT the power, rapidity, and awe inspiring capabilities of nature will always inspire those of us willing to observe. HOPE is a product of Observation, research, practice, and reflection. We feel hope when we see a positive future for ourselves and our communities. HOPE is a product of Observation, Research, Practice, and Reflection. We feel hope when we see a positive future for ourselves and our communities.  - Observe Nature - Look at how the ruins of Detroit has been reclaimed by nature. - Research the Power of Nature - The Loess Plateau, Geoff Lawton's Greening the Desert, Al Baydha Project, & NanoClay. Fungi can eat cigarette butts, Mealworms eat styrofoam, Bacteria eat crude oil, and so much more. - Practice Working with Nature - Permaculture and all regenerative living practices. - Reflection - Hope comes from working ethically with Nature and Observing the results over time. If you are feeling hopeless,  - Get out in Nature - Go for a Hike or Walk and watch the birds closely - Watch Lessons of the Loess Plateau (Youtube), Greening the Desert with Geoff Lawton (Youtube), or From Sand to Soil in 7 hours (TEDtalk) or read The Permaculture Student 2 which features many amazing large-scale examples. - Grow a Garden, Compost All Organic Waste, Use Graywater to Irrigate your Garden, & try adopting the strategies and technology featured in The Permaculture Student 2. - Meditate (Clear Your Mind), Pray (Direct Your Mind), & keep a Gratitude Journal (Frame Your Mind) Learn to live an abundant and hope-filled life with The Permaculture Student 2: http://www.thepermaculturestudent.com/shop/the-permaculture-student-2-pre-order-only

"Insects do not taste like chicken," said Daniella Martin, a charismatic advocate of eating low - make that really low - on the food chain. Through public lectures, cooking demonstrations and her 'Girl Meets Bug' website, Martin preaches the gospel of why, in her opinion, more people should munch on mealworms, crunch a cricket or feast on plump bee larvae.
