Commercial Larva Zophobus atratus is sed as pet food, sold in pet stores under the name‘giant mealworms’. Zophobus atratus is also considered for the human alterative food in the future. In this study, we are aimed to compare the effects of the supplements including agricultural by-product for commercial Larva Zophobas atratus. One hundred Zophobas atratus larvae were divided into group I (wheat bran 100%, N=20), group II (wheat bran 70 % and rice bran 30%), group III (wheat bran 70 % and soybean meal 30%), group IV (wheat bran 70 % and red ginseng meal 30%), group V (wheat bran 70 % and red perilla meal 30%). The body weights of commercial Larva Zophobas atratus were significantly improved in the agricultural by-products supplemented groups. From these results, it is considered that the agricultural by-products were effective for larval growth in Zophobus atratus rearing with alternative diet.

본 실험은 농산부산물인 감껍질, 맥강, 발효미강 및 활성탄을 혼합하여 만든 첨가 사료가 거세 한우의 질병, 성장 및 도체특성에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 시험한 결과, 송아지 설사는 무처리구(Control)가 가장 발병율이 높았던 반면 첨가량이 가장 높은 T3구(5% 첨가구)가 가장 낮은 발병율을 보였다. 호흡기 질병 발병율은 3% 첨가구(T2)에 가장 낮게 나타났으며, 호흡기와 설사 동시 발생율은 Control구가 가장 높게 나타났다. 일당 증체량은 T
