Introduction of Us and the Bread Worm

Good day to all of you! 

We would like to present to you how does the bread worm benefits the environment and society. By adopting bread worm, it habits and customs may be observed and we will relates to engineering point of view.

Hope you enjoy! ^o^

So, this is us. Starting from left, Chin Choon Ming, Eric Tan Jun Yi, Len Wai Kit, Jeff Ho Szu Jie, and Tsu Weng Huang.

We are from Taylor's University Lakeside Campus, study Bachelor (hons) of Chemical Engineering in Taylor's School of Engineering. We are currently in Semester 7 and we are now taking a subject named "Engineering and Biomimetics".

Through the subject, we are having an opportunity to adopt a live and by analysing it habits and structures hoping to mimic something from it to engineering which it will benefits the society.

This is what we have adopted. Bread worm!!!

Maybe you may ask why we chosen this creature to study?

So, this is the reason: [2]

• Easy to breed
• Anyone can breed by just a containers and some bread, well that's all
• Normally it breed to feed chickens, and fish etc.

• High Protein
• Land usage, energy needs, and greenhouse gas emissions of this creature has been studied from researchers, they realised that per unit of protein produced, it farms required less land and similar amounts of energy
• It shed it's skin
• Due to its high protein, it provides abilities to shed it's skin
• Some idea may slowly discovered after weeks of breeding it

We are hoping to discover more interesting stuff from this creature. This adoption will be last for about 10 weeks. Are you getting interested to it? Do you want to know more about our findings about this creature?

Stay tuned with us and have a good day! 

Feel free to comment, we are looking forward to improve the blog and also our findings.

Thank you.
