Researchers at the Tomsk State University (TSU) are planning to breed earthworms. As explained by the head of the department of plant protection TSU Andrey Babenko, all aware of the high-yield breeds of pigs and cows. Perhaps display and highly productive breeds of worms, because they contain the protein is not inferior to a protein of livestock breeds.
The TSU said that the breeding of earthworms can be lucrative, because they can be processed to create the food, cosmetics and even medicines. According to Andrey Babenko, high-value protein derived from worms, is widely used in Japan and China for the production of medicines.
Scientists assure: constant increase in the mass of the animal worms will help address one of the important problems of the modern world – the lack of animal protein . Just one year required starting population of worms living in the substrate quality, to increase by 10-15 times. Researchers continue to work to ensure that their wards is rapidly gaining weight and breed.
Currently, the demand for these products is very high, so we can assume that the development of Tomsk scientists will be able to take a decent niche in the world market.
