FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ULOMOIDES DERMESTOIDES (CHEVROLAT, 1878) (COLEOPTERA, TENEBRIONIDAE) ON MIXED FODDER USED IN BROILER POULTRY AND FAST FOOD CEREALS

Abstract
The results of U. dermestoides dilution studies using feeds developed for feeding poultry in broiler production are presented. Their toxicity for the imago is shown, as well as the reduction of reproductive function in the beetles. It has been found that they are most destructive for the imago U. dermestoides during the period of feeding for bird feeding. Beetles fed on such feeds died without leaving eggs. The peculiarities of the development of U. dermestoides larvae on mixed fodders were also studied, but after the expiration date. In this substrate, the larvae have completely passed the life cycle. Imago, revived from them, lived for no more than two months (under natural conditions, the duration of their lives is 4.5 months) and had a restrictive reproductive function. As an example of the development of the imago and the larvae of U. dermestoides on granular mixed fodders, it is appropriate to try to explain the tendency to reduce the number of pests of Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer, 1796) in poultry farms in Central Ukraine in 2017. The use of fast cooking cereals for breeding U. dermestoides shows their negative impact on the lifetime and reproductive function of the imago, causes increased cannibalism and significant mortality in the larvae, as well as the formation of defective pupae and beetles. The results of the work are advantageous for the scientific basis for the mass reproduction of U. dermestoides in zoos, nature museums, laboratories of scientific institutions.
