Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low Maintenance Cricket Breeding is finally a Reality!! The number one reason 98% of people give up breeding crickets after a few months, is they choose the wrong breeding method. Most people use conventional methods which require constant spraying, feeding and cleaning….and simple give up as it’s too much effort. To make things worse, pests take over due to lack of maintenance and the whole system crashes. These methods are better suited commercial production…not feeding one or two bearded dragons. Our low maintenance systems are very different with automated feeding and water stations; a detritus collection system that does the maintenance for you; along with a number of other innovations… The result is smarter low maintenance, consistent and productive breeding methods for both private and commercial applications. The reality is that crickets can now be bred with less time than standing in line at your pet store. Now there is a true alternative which makes cricket breeding available to everyone!! WHY OUR METHODS ARE VERY DIFFERERENT After more than a decade of commercial production and experimentation, we have pioneered revolutionary techniques that have slashed maintenance, eliminated offensive odor and doubled production. How would you like automated systems that ; • Needs no active management; • Collects waste for you; • Requires only 5 minutes maintenance every 7-10 days (less time than standing in line at the pet store) • Food/ water dispensers that attends to your insects for 14 days or more; • Systems so productive that the average family will be able to feed 4-12 bearded dragons (depending of insect feeding rate) just from their scrap vegetables; • That’s over $1400 each year completely free…. good income for the family or teach your kids to build their own business. • Best of all they are easy to build, and materials are made from recycled materials or from your hardware. Breeding your own feeder insects has never been easier with the world’s most comprehensive and well researched feeder insects guides (with hundreds of photos), complementary Skype video training along with Email support. Our methods are also available on video at a click of a button. (full details on our website www.wildlifehub.com). HOW DO OUR SYSTEMS WORK... In a nut shell, we have created two separate zones within a single container (conventional techniques require up to 6 separate containers); one high humidity area ideal for breeding; and a lower humidity area for housing and food/water. We have also developed a unique detritus collection system which collects the waste and prevents contamination of breeding substrate and food areas. This makes cleaning a breeze, eliminates odor and disease, increases egg viability and increases cricket production. We have water/food dispersers which do the feeds for you, even when your on holidays! Unlike other methods which need to be actively managed (daily spraying, and moving pinheads to new containers) our systems run themselves ?. And our cockroach breeding systems are equally unique at reducing maintenance and smells (also available on Amazon). Now you can breed both species with ease. THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDES... This manual sets the benchmark for cricket production and contains more than 164 pages (240 color photos) that cover’s every aspect of private and commercial production in detail. That’s more than twice the size of any other book on the market. We have overhauled every aspect of cricket production including; container design, breeding, food and water requirements; making food and water dispensers; heating/storage; maintenance/pest management, cleaning; grading/selling, lots and lots more. COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE…Turn an Expense Into Income!! We have bred crickets and cockroaches commercially for 10 years to wildlife parks, zoos, pet stores, wildlife rescue clubs, and...

LET US SHOW YOU WHY Have you ever wondered why 95% of people succeed to breed crickets for the first couple of months, then nearly all of them have given up after just 6-12 months using conventional techniques? The answer is simple....breeding crickets is easy, the hard bit is continuing with a laborious maintenance schedule (daily spraying, moving crickets between containers, cleaning, feeding etc.). To complete the failure cycle, most colonies then collapse from disease due to lack of maintenance...aaaahhh This is why most people breed cockroaches which are more robust. Well thankfully there is a much better way I would like to introduce you to the most advanced, low maintenance and productive cricket and cockroach breeding systems in the world. After more than a decade of commercial production and experimentation, we have developed revolutionary and unique techniques that have halved maintenance, eliminated offensive odor and doubled production. Our automated low maintenance systems are tried and tested that produce large numbers of crickets and cockroaches week in, week out. The result is smarter low maintenance, consistent and productive breeding methods for both private and commercial applications. These systems will save you thousands and thousands of dollars HOW DO OUR SYSTEMS WORK (Crickets)....Well in a nut shell, we have created two separate zones within a single container (not 5 containers); one high humidity area for breeding; and a lower humidity area for housing and food/water. We have also developed a unique detritus collection system which allows easy cleaning and prevents contamination of breeding substrate and food areas. This eliminates odors, increases egg viability and cricket production. Unlike conventional techniques which need to be actively managed (daily spraying, and moving pinheads to new containers) our systems run themselves. How would you like automated systems that; need no active management; collects waste for you; and food/ water dispensers which attends to your insects for 14 days or more?

The flour becomes a high protein ingredient in various foods such as tortilla chips and protein bars. Organisations like NACIA are valuable organizations for anyone who wants to raise crickets, especially for human consumption. Their goal is to help people get past any aversion to eating insects. Cricket farming is a term used to describe the practice of raising crickets. Cricket farming is a technique for raising crickets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cricket song is a sound of the Australian bush. Even in cities, the rasping calls signify Australia’s remarkable cricket biodiversity. Crickets are notable for a variety of reasons. When their population booms, some of these species become agricultural pests and destroy crop pastures. Some introduced species are of biosecurity concern. Other crickets are important food sources for native birds, reptiles and mammals, as well as domestic pets. Soon you might even put them in your cake or stir-fry, as there is a rapidly growing industry for cricket products for human consumption. Featuring keys, distribution maps, illustrations and detailed colour photographs from CSIRO’s Australian National Insect Collection, A Guide to Crickets of Australia allows readers to reliably identify all 92 described genera and many species from the Grylloidea (true crickets) and Gryllotalpoidea (mole crickets and ant crickets) superfamilies. Not included are the Raspy Crickets (Gryllacrididae), King Crickets (Anostostomatidae) or the so-called ‘Pygmy Mole Crickets’ (Caelifera), which despite their common names are not related to true crickets. Natural history enthusiasts and professionals will find this an essential guide.

Download or read book Edible Insects written by Arnold van Huis and published by Bright Sparks. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there remains a degree of disdain and disgust for their consumption. Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock. To fully realise this potential, much work needs to be done by a wide range of stakeholders. This publication will boost awareness of the many valuable roles that insects play in sustaining nature and human life, and it will stimulate debate on the expansion of the use of insects as food and feed.
