How do stocking density, shelter opportunities and light affect the behaviour and welfare of mealworms? Students from HAS Green Academy investigated these questions in depth and presented their key findings during an engaging webinar attended by many mealworm producers.Hoe beïnvloeden bezettingsdichtheid, schuilplekken en licht het gedrag en welzijn van meelkevers? Studenten van de HAS Green Academy hebben hier uitgebreid onderzoek naar gedaan en presenteren de belangrijkste resultaten in een interessant webinar. Veel meelwormkwekers waren erbij aanwezig.
The study provides valuable new insights that can be directly applied in commercial mealworm production. The results show how adjustments to the rearing environment can improve animal welfare while also contributing to more efficient and sustainable production.
The webinar explains the research approach, presents the key findings, and discusses practical recommendations for mealworm producers.
