Fly maggot farming: are maggots decomposers or consumers?

1. The breeding of fly maggots mainly includes the construction of breeding facilities, the cultivation of fly maggots and the daily management of fly maggots. The construction of breeding facilities includes the construction of fly houses, maggot breeding houses and maggot breeding greenhouses. The cultivation of fly maggots includes the hatching and feeding of fly maggots. The daily management of fly maggots includes adding feed, cleaning and changing drinking water. 2. Fly maggots are decomposers. They can decompose organic matter into inorganic matter. The energy for their activities is provided by organic matter in animal and plant remains and excrement.

1. Breeding of fly maggots

1. Construction of breeding facilities

Build breeding fly rooms, maggot breeding rooms and maggot breeding greenhouses. The breeding fly rooms are used to raise adult flies. There should be screen doors, screen windows and heating equipment inside the house. The screen doors and screen windows are to prevent adult flies from escaping, and the heating equipment is to keep warm. The maggot breeding room is used to breed maggots for seed. Maggots are sensitive to temperature and humidity. The room temperature should be controlled at around 20℃-28℃, and the humidity should be controlled at around 65%-70%. The maggot breeding greenhouse is used to cultivate maggots for feed, and it should be windproof and waterproof.

2. Cultivation of fly maggots

The cultivation process of fly maggots mainly includes the hatching of pupae, the rearing of breeding flies, the collection and hatching of egg masses, the separation and cultivation of fly maggots and the utilization of fresh maggots.

3. Daily management

When breeding fly maggots, daily management should be done well. This mainly includes adding fly feed, placing egg-laying objects, changing drinking water, recording egg hatching time, cleaning the ground, etc. Note that houseflies are pests, so do not allow their population to enter the natural environment when breeding.

1. Are fly maggots decomposers or consumers?

Fly maggots are decomposers. They are usually born in decaying materials, garbage and feces. Their energy source is the organic matter in the remains of animals and plants and excrement. They can decompose organic matter into inorganic matter.

2. Introduction to fly maggots

(1) Maggots are the larvae of flies. Maggots mainly feed on feces and decaying matter. They pupate under the soil surface and spend the winter in pupa form. The depth of maggots in the soil can reach 10cm during the winter. Maggots grow and reproduce relatively quickly. When they are artificially bred, they do not have high requirements for equipment and environment. They can be bred in both urban and rural areas.

(2) The life cycle of flies goes through four stages: egg, maggot, pupa, and adult. The growth morphology of flies varies greatly during these stages. Maggots have three instars. They like to drill holes and are afraid of strong light. Maggots can parasitize the human body. Depending on the specific parts of the body where the maggots parasitize, myiasis is divided into eye myiasis, nasal myiasis, stomach myiasis, urethral myiasis, etc.

Maggots, can anyone teach me how to raise them?

Natural conditions and temperature are essential for maggot breeding. Below 20℃, flies stop breeding or enter hibernation, not eating and moving. Plastic sheds can only be used for seasonal breeding. In late autumn, severe winter, and early spring, the temperature does not meet the requirements, and breeding in the shed is futile. Maggot feed The feed for productive breeding of maggots must be cheap waste, preferably chicken manure produced by professional chicken farmers. According to the calculation of 3 catties of chicken manure for 1 catties of maggots, productive breeding requires a lot of feed. If you buy soy sauce residue, tofu residue or other waste, the cost is too high, and the result is often not worth the gain. It is best to have a professional poultry or fish breeding family for self-consumption capacity to carry out productive breeding of maggots, which can produce and sell by themselves, reduce the cost of poultry and fish feed, and improve economic benefits. Selection of breeding site Maggot breeding is largely unhygienic. Therefore, when choosing a breeding site, pay attention to the following points: Stay away from residential areas. Chicken manure or other waste is piled up in the yard, and adult flies enter the room to bite and crawl, affecting human health. Pay attention to the year-round wind direction. Pay attention to the year-round dominant wind direction in the local area. Set up the fly maggot breeding farm on the leeward side of the chicken farm to prevent the odor from drifting into the breeding room and chicken house, affecting the healthy growth of breeders and chickens. Stay away from water sources. Fly maggot breeding farms must be far away from self-supplied water sources and public water sources to prevent sewage from seeping into the ground, causing water quality deterioration and affecting the water use of chickens. Waste dumping sites. Fly maggot production breeding sites must have dedicated sites for the storage of chicken manure and fly maggot breeding waste to prevent environmental pollution. The construction of breeding rooms and sheds. The area of ​​the insulation room and shed is calculated as 1 square meter for every 1 kilogram of fly maggots produced. Rooms and sheds that are too large are not conducive to heat preservation, and too small cannot guarantee production. This is a major problem in fly maggot breeding, which involves investment issues. If funds allow, a cold-proof insulation room can be built for year-round breeding; if funds are insufficient, greenhouse-style seasonal breeding can be carried out. Simple outdoor breeding is affected by temperature and rain. The breeding time in the south is longer and that in the north is shorter. This type of breeding can neither guarantee the yield nor harm environmental hygiene, so it is not recommended. The following points should be noted when constructing greenhouses for productive breeding: Cold and heat preservation To ensure that the indoor temperature of the greenhouse is above 25°C, the walls of the room should be of a certain thickness, the doors and windows should be tight, and there should be heating and temperature control facilities indoors. The temperature of the plastic greenhouse is too high in the summer, and it is difficult to reach 25°C in the cold season, so it is not suitable for breeding. Rainproof and sun-proof Breeding in the greenhouse should pay attention to rain protection to avoid damaging the breeding environment of fly maggots. In the midsummer season, it is also necessary to avoid sun exposure to prevent the fly maggot feed from drying and hardening and causing the maggots to die. The specific structure, scale, and shape of the room and shed can be adapted to local conditions, and there is no need to force consistency, as long as it is applicable. Productive breeding management of fly maggots can be roughly divided into two parts: attracting flies to lay eggs and the growth of maggots. Due to the instinct of safe hatching, female flies often lay eggs in a nutrient-rich, sheltered place or a sheltered place. To understand this habit of female flies, you can use plastic square plates, cans and other containers, put nutrients (meat bones, soup residue, fish viscera, watermelon rinds, wheat bran, sugar solution and other wastes) in a quiet place to lure flies to lay eggs. When the eggs hatch into maggots, they can be moved into chicken manure to grow. In the process of feeding and management of fly maggots, it is necessary to understand that after the maggots mature, they will no longer be fed with feed and begin to crawl outward into the soil to pupate. The fly maggots should be collected or fished out in time. Fly maggot breeding can be divided into dry and wet methods. Dry breeding is: spread chicken manure on plastic cloth or cement floor, 80 cm wide, 10-15 cm high, and unlimited length. After the fly eggs or hatched maggots are moved on, water is sprinkled to maintain a certain humidity, and the eggs or maggots can be hatched and grown. Wet breeding is: build a non-leaking pool with a depth of 30 cm, a width of 60-80 cm, and an unlimited length in the room or shed, put water in the pool, put chicken manure into it and stir it into a thick slurry, move fly eggs into it, and it will hatch into maggots and grow. Regardless of dry or wet breeding, when the fly maggots grow, the maggot manure should be cleaned in time and new chicken manure should be replaced regularly to increase the yield. Processing and storage of fly maggots The collected or fished fly maggots should be put into hot water to kill them in time, then fished out and dried in the sun (dry), or directly mixed into corn crushed feed and fed in time. Wet maggots mixed with corn flour should not be left for a long time to avoid mold and deterioration. The daily output of fly maggots is large, and the moisture should be controlled after drying to facilitate long-term storage. When processing fly maggots, pick out the rotten and deteriorated dead maggots to avoid affecting the quality of maggot powder.

I think it should be kept in a moist, cool place.
