CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How many days does it take to raise earthworms for sale? (How many days does it take to raise earthworms for sale?)

1. How many days does it take to raise earthworms?

Farmed earthworms can be shipped in 40-50 days under normal temperature and feeding conditions.

2. How long does it usually take to breed earthworms into commercial earthworms?

Earthworms can be harvested after 3 months of cultivation. If earthworms grow in a good environment, it usually takes half a year to grow to about 10cm. Earthworms are thermophilic animals. Wild earthworms will burrow into the soil layer and hibernate during long droughts, severe winters and high temperature seasons.

3. How many months does it take to market earthworms?

Generally, they can be marketed in 30-35 days.

Under artificial culture conditions, if the soil temperature and humidity are suitable and there is sufficient bait, they can reproduce all year round. After mating, earthworms usually begin to ovulate 7 to 8 days later. Each time they lay 1 to 5 eggs, they secrete mucus to wrap several eggs together to form ten cocoons. One earthworm can produce many cocoons.

Generally, at 20℃, they can hatch into young earthworms after about 20 days. After a large number of young earthworms have hatched, they are lured together with high-quality bait and placed in new culture containers for breeding. Generally, they can be sold after 30-35 days.

The growth and development cycle of earthworms is closely related to factors such as temperature, density and humidity. Its growth can be carried out by continuously increasing or enlarging body segments, which usually takes 3-4 months.

4. How long does it take to produce finished products from Guangdilong earthworms?

Normally, the average growth period of earthworms is 3 months. If the earthworms are in a good growth environment, it will take about half a year to grow to about 10 cm.

Earthworms are thermophilic animals. Wild earthworms will burrow into the soil layer and hibernate during long droughts, severe winters, and high temperature seasons. Generally, earthworms are suitable for artificial breeding at a temperature of 25°C. As long as the temperature is adjusted properly, earthworms can grow and reproduce all year round.

5. How long does it take to see results from earthworm farming?

How long does it take to harvest earthworms? It is reported that earthworms can be harvested after three months of cultivation. If earthworms are in a good growth environment, it usually takes half a year to grow to about 10cm. Earthworms are thermophilic animals. Wild earthworms will burrow into the soil layer and hibernate during long droughts, severe winters and high temperature seasons.

6. How long is the earthworm breeding cycle?

The life cycle of earthworms refers to the period from the laying of cocoons, hatching, maturation of young earthworms, to the appearance of rings and the start of egg laying. It usually lasts 3 to 4 months. Taiping No. 2 and Beixing No. 2, which are selected and bred in Japan, have a short life cycle of only 47 days and a long life cycle of 128 days. Some varieties can last as long as 140 to 180 days, which is closely related to the breeding temperature. The life cycle of earthworms needs to go through five stages: egg cocoon stage, young earthworm stage, nymph stage, adult earthworm stage, and aging stage.

(1) Egg and cocoon stage: The hatching time of earthworm cocoons is related to the ambient temperature. The hatching time of Taiping No. 2 at different temperatures is: 85 days at 10℃, 45 days at 15℃, 25 days at 20℃, 19 days at 25℃, and 13 days at 28℃.

(2) Juvenile stage: Juvenile earthworms are small and weak, with a length of 5 to 15 mm. They are initially white and velvety, and later turn into the same color as adult earthworms. This stage is an important stage in breeding and is directly related to the weight gain effect. The length of the juvenile stage is related to the ambient temperature. Under 20~C conditions, the juvenile stage of Daping No. 2 earthworms is 30 to 50 days.

(3) Juvenile stage: Juvenile stage is the stage of young earthworms. The individual is close to adult earthworms, but the sexual organs are not yet mature (no annulus appears). The juvenile stage of Daping No. 2 earthworms is 20 to 30 days.

(4) Adult stage: The obvious signs of adult earthworms are the appearance of annular bands, reproductive organs, maturity, and entry into the reproductive stage. The adult stage is the most important economic harvest period in the entire breeding process. During this period, suitable temperature, humidity and other conditions should be created to promote high and stable yields and prolong the life of the population. This period lasts for half of the earthworm's lifespan.

(5) Aging stage: The main signs of aging are the disappearance of the annulus and a decrease in body weight. At this point, the earthworms have lost their economic value and should be separated and eliminated in time. Under culture, the lifespan of individual earthworms is much longer than that of wild earthworms. The lifespan of different earthworm species varies. The lifespan of most species of Pheretima is one year, such as Pheretima philoxeroides and Pheretima sinensis. The fertilized eggs overwinter in the cocoons in the soil, hatch in March or April of the following year, grow into adults in June or July, mate in September or October, and die in November. Pheretima heterotrichum, Pheretima hupehensis, and Pheretima leucopsis are perennial species with a lifespan of more than one year. They overwinter as adults and lay eggs in the spring of the following year. They are perennial earthworms. The lifespan of earthworms in the genera Heterocephalus and Lumbricus is relatively long. Eisenia fetida can live for more than four years, Lumbricus terrestris can live for up to six years, and Heterocephalus longus can live for 5 to 10 years under good laboratory breeding conditions.

7. How long does it take to raise earthworms before they can be sold?

Generally, they can be marketed in 30-35 days.

Under artificial culture conditions, if the soil temperature and humidity are suitable and there is sufficient bait, they can reproduce all year round. After mating, earthworms usually begin to ovulate 7 to 8 days later. Each time they lay 1 to 5 eggs, they secrete mucus to wrap several eggs together to form ten cocoons. One earthworm can produce many cocoons.
