This invention discloses method for feeding Hermetia illucens and used as for preparing composite material of puparium, which comprises the following steps: S1, dry Hermetia illucens pupariums and grind them into powdery, S2, adding powdery of Hermetia illucens pupariums into sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, stirring, separating and filtering, S3, adding the pupariums into hydrochloric acid solution, stirring, separating and filtering; S4, placing the pupariums into sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, stirring, separating and filtering; S5, drying the pupariums, and screening out the granular pretreated powder of the Hermetia illucens pupariums. The invention also disclose preparation method of composite material and thin film of Hermetia illucens pupariums and antibacterial and antimildew additive. The method can effectively improve the yield of chitosan in Hermetia illucens pupariums, and the prepared pupariums powder can be used for preparing polymer composite fibers and thin films of the Hermetia illucens pupariums, thus, the antibacterial effect is greatly improved. A new antibacterial and antimycotic additive can be obtained by compounding the powder of Hermetia illucens pupariums with the powder of oyster shell.

According to an aspect, there is provided a feed composition for Tenebrio molitor, comprising water, gelatin and alloferon peptide as effective components. The alloferon peptide is preferably included 1 ppm or more in the feed composition. The alloferon peptide can act as a growth promotor for Tenebrio molitor. Also, the alloferon peptide can act to enhance the survival rate of Tenebrio molitor. Also, the alloferon peptide can act to shorten the development time of Tenebrio molitor.

A nutritionally complete animal food including, vitamins, and minerals to sustain the animal's health and wellness. The one or more ingredients containing cannabinoids added to the nutritionally complete animal food at the time of manufacturing. These cannabinoids are selected from the group consisting of Cannabichromenic acid (CBCA), Cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), Cannabidivarinic acid (CBDVA), Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), Cannabinolic acid (CBNA), Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCVA) and combinations thereof. The concentrations of each of the cannabinoids are each less than 100 parts per million (ppm) in the at least one ingredient. In an alternate embodiment, the one or more ingredients have cannabinoids include in an aggregate concentration of less than 100 parts per million (ppm).

Provided herein are methods and compositions for food and feed applications, e.g., for targeting one or more microorganisms resident in a host insect, the modulation resulting in an increase in the fitness of the host. The invention features a composition that includes a modulating agent (e.g., phage, peptide, small molecule, antibiotic, or combinations thereof) that can alter the host's microbiota in a manner that is beneficial to the host. By promoting favorable microbial levels, microbial activity, microbial metabolism, and/or microbial diversity, the modulating agent described herein may be used to increase the fitness of a variety of insects utilized in human food or animal feed industries.
