确实需要低成本的人工饲料，这将降低大量生产昆虫的成本。然而，这种廉价的饮食也必须产生健康，充满活力的昆虫，尽可能接近正常。一般来说，定义越明确，饮食就越昂贵。因此，由已经含有大部分所需营养成分的天然有机材料组成的产品（Doughnut（1959）定义为寡聚体）应该是最便宜的。然后，通过大量采购、加工、混合和补充，可以实现尽可能低的成本。混合食品，儿童食品补充剂，2号配方，通常称为CSM（用于玉米，大豆粉和牛奶固体），就是这样一种产品。
A definite need exists for low-cost artificial diets that will decrease the cost of mass producing insects. However, such an inexpensive diet must also produce healthy, vigorous insects that act as nearly normal as possible. Generally, the more defined, the more expensive a diet becomes. Therefore, one composed of crude organic materials that already contain most of the required nutritional components, defined by Dougherty (1959) as oligidic, should be the least expensive. Then the lowest possible cost could be achieved by purchasing, processing, mixing, and supplementing very large quantities. Blended Food Product, Child Food Supplement, Formula no. 2, commonly called CSM (for corn, soy flour, and milk solids), is such a product.
