Preliminary study on feasibility of Dolichos lablab as one of the feed resources of Tenebrio molitor

In order to explore the feasibility of Dolichos lablab as one of the feed resources of Tenebrio molitor, a study was conducted on larvae and feces of T.molitor fed with D.lablab and wheat bran. The results of this study showed that larva crude protein content, nitrogen and calcium content of feces of T.molitor fed with D. lablab were significant higher than those with wheat bran. And there was no significant effect on larva body increase, larva crude fat, phosphorus and potassium content of feces of T.molitor fed with two fodders（P＞0.05）. It is feasible to rearing T. molitor with D.lablab.
