    Area of Science:

    • Zoology
    • Animal Nutrition
    • Entomology

    Background:

    • Single-feed diets lead to malnutrition, reduced lifecycles, and low survival rates in Buthus martensii.
    • Improving Buthus martensii nutrition is crucial for successful farming and research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate compound feeds for Buthus martensii to address nutritional deficiencies.
    • To determine the optimal feed composition for enhancing growth, survival, and reproductive rates.

    Main Methods:

    • Seven distinct compound feed formulations were created using minced meat (pork, chicken, rabbit), fried yellow bran, sugar, milk, vegetable paste, and multivitamins.
    • Statistical analysis using Minitab software assessed the impact of feed proportions on Buthus martensii.

    Main Results:

    • Compound feed proportions significantly affected Buthus martensii growth, mortality, and reproduction.
    • Compound feed 4 demonstrated superior performance, enhancing larval and juvenile weight and maternal farrowing numbers.
    • Compound feed 5 notably reduced mortality in juvenile scorpions.

    Conclusions:

    • Feed composition critically influences Buthus martensii development and survival.
    • Compound feed 4, incorporating yellow mealworms, is a viable and recommended option for commercial scorpion farming.
