Insect Diets (eBook, ePUB)

Science and Technology, Second Edition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The second edition of Insect Diets: Science and Technology continues to provide a current, integrated review of the field of insect diets, reaffirming and expanding upon the belief that the science of diet development and the technology of diet application in rearing programs require formal foundations and guidelines. The author argues for a data-driven approach in insect rearing programs and calls for academia and industry to make a new push toward statistical process control (SPC) in their approaches to rearing in general, using his own work with insects as a paradigm.

Autorenporträt

Allen Carson Cohen completed his high school education in Chicago, Illinois and went to university in California for a BA and MA in English and a teaching credential. He later returned to college for an MA in biology, specializing in the physiological ecology of rattlesnakes. He completed his PhD in entomology at the University of California, Riverside (1978). He has served for seven years as editor for insect diets, insect rearing, and insect feeding biology for the Journal of Insect Science and serves as a mentor for students, researchers, and professionals in diet and rearing science and technology. He holds six U.S. patents, has published more than 125 refereed papers, and has received several technology transfer awards for his work on insect diets. He is currently research professor and coordinator of the Insect Rearing Education and Research Program at North Carolina State University, where he teaches online and in-person courses on insect rearing and conducts research on developing and improving insect rearing systems.
