1. The Chinese earthworm is a traditional Chinese medicinal material. What should we pay attention to when breeding the Chinese earthworm?

The first thing to pay attention to is the environment for breeding Chinese ground beetles. If the environment is not good, it will be very difficult to breed Chinese ground beetles. Since Chinese ground beetles usually come out at night to look for food, there must be no strong light and noise in the breeding environment at night, otherwise the movement of Chinese ground beetles will definitely be affected. Another thing is to pay attention to the warming measures for Chinese ground beetles in winter, because Chinese ground beetles are afraid of cold and like to hibernate.

The second thing to note is that the food for the beetles must be sufficient, and the food residues left by the beetles must be cleaned up in time. Although the beetles do not have high requirements for the quality of food and are not picky eaters, they have a very big appetite, and the hungry beetles will even eat their companions as food. Therefore, the food prepared for the beetles must be very sufficient, even a little waste is better than letting the beetles kill each other.

The third thing to pay attention to is to prevent other small animals from harming the ground beetle, otherwise the loss will be very large. Ground beetles are not big in size and like to live in groups, so many other small animals treat ground beetles as food. In normal times, you must be careful not to let poultry such as chickens and ducks get close to ground beetles, and also be wary of animals such as mice and weasels, so as to ensure the safety of ground beetles.

The fourth thing to note is that when hatching the young earthworms, you should pay attention to turning the eggs, which is conducive to the hatching of the earthworms. The eggs of the earthworms are usually in the soil, so turning them regularly can maintain the fluidity of the air and has a good effect on the hatching rate. However, the amplitude of turning cannot be too large, otherwise it will not only fail to increase the hatching rate of the earthworms, but may even cause large-scale deaths. In addition, the insulation measures for the eggs must also be done well, so that a stable environment can be conducive to the hatching of the earthworms.

Things to note: 1. Avoid exposure to the sun, and the living environment should be dark and humid. 2. Provide sufficient food and water to prevent cannibalism. 3. The temperature should be appropriate. 4. There should be no chemicals in the soil to prevent it from being poisoned and dying.

The earth beetle likes dark and humid weather. When breeding the earth beetle, the humidity of its living environment must be maintained, especially in the hot summer. The feed should be a mixture of dry and wet, and a continuous supply of drinking water must be ensured.

Pay attention to temperature control, food supply time, keeping the room humid and so on.

When breeding ground beetles, you must pay attention to the temperature, humidity and soil quality of the environment. All three are indispensable, otherwise a large number of ground beetles will lose their living conditions and die.

2. Is earthworm breeding a scam?

Earthworm (earthworm) farming is a scam, the money is not that easy to make.

1. The breeding of Chinese earthworms was broadcast on TV, which made many people believe it and ended up losing all their money.

2. Earthworm breeding franchise scam.

Earthworm is the Chinese medicine name of the common earthworm, which is widely distributed in my country. The main species include Chinese true earthworm, Hebei earthworm, golden edge earthworm, etc. Among them, Chinese true earthworm is widely distributed and has high medicinal value. At present, the vast majority of artificially bred earthworms are Chinese true earthworms, which are traditional Chinese medicinal materials commonly used in my country. The medicinal name is Su Tuyuan. Earthworm contains high protein, fat and sugar. In addition to medicinal and edible uses, people often use it as live feed for animals and rare birds and animals, high-end feed for pets, precious fish bait, production of handicrafts and specimens. Therefore, earthworm breeding is a technology with very broad market prospects and development prospects.

Breeding points

Earthworms 1. Breeding conditions: Earthworms like to live in dark, moist, loose soil rich in humus. They are very adaptable and can be raised anywhere as long as a certain temperature and humidity are maintained.

2. Three-dimensional factory breeding. The equipment used to raise earthworms is relatively simple, and plastic basins can be used for small-scale breeding. If you want to breed earthworms on a large scale, you can adopt a three-dimensional multi-layer breeding platform. The specific method is: lay bricks against the wall in the house, and the height of each layer should be about 30-38cm. It is best to use cement boards for the layer boards, and 5-7 layers of breeding platforms can be built on each wall. Practice has shown that this kind of breeding platform can make the indoor temperature 6-10℃ higher than that of a flat pool, and the growth and development of earthworms is significantly accelerated. It only takes about 7 months to complete a generation, and the annual output is significantly increased.

3. Feed configuration. Earthworms are omnivorous insects. They can be fed with anything that pigs can eat, such as wheat bran, rice bran, cake meal, green fodder, potatoes, vegetable leaves, bones, etc. They only need to be fed once every night. Earthworms are the most voracious food for earthworms, so they can be used in breeding.

4. Scientific management. Scientific management is the key to success in artificially raising earthworms. Mites are common parasites in raising earthworms. The prevention and control methods include using trichlorfon and 20% mite egg ester powder, mixing them into the breeding soil with a 1:400 dilution. Mites can also be removed by replacing the breeding soil in time or using fried dough sticks, bones, and pumpkin flowers as bait.

3. What kind of soil should be used to raise earthworms?

Feeding soil: The quality of the feeding soil directly affects the adult of the earthworm, and is also closely related to its growth and development. If the feeding soil is not suitable, it can also make the insect sick or attract enemies such as mites. Therefore, when choosing what kind of soil to use for feeding, what season to take it, and how high the temperature of the soil should be, these are all basic conditions that must be considered. Generally, it is best to choose moist, soft, fertile soil with more humus as the feeding soil, such as garden soil, etc. This kind of soil is convenient for the earthworm to drill into the soil and drill out of the soil surface to feed. Local areas can also choose according to the specific local soil conditions. Shandong, Jiangsu and other provinces use sandy soil or yellow clay as feeding soil. Strongly sticky soil is easy to clump, which reduces the range of the earthworm's ambush. At the same time, it will stick to the insect body, affecting crawling and development, so it is not suitable for use. Generally, it is better to take soil in winter, when there are fewer diseases, insects, and miscellaneous bacteria in the soil, which can reduce the damage to the earthworm. When taking soil, you can first turn over and break the soil layer, expose it to the sun for disinfection, and then use a sieve with a mesh size of 0.08×0.08 inches to sieve out soil lumps and debris. The moisture content of the breeding soil is generally 15-20%, which is suitable when it cannot be lumped by hand. At the same time, the humidity of the soil should also be different according to the solar terms, insect types, and equipment. Generally, it is slightly dry in winter and the rainy season, slightly moist in summer and autumn, slightly dry for small insects, slightly moist for large insects, slightly dry for breeding pits, slightly moist for the upper grids of breeding tanks and breeding cabinets, and slightly dry for the mud that preserves egg sheaths. When the breeding soil is found to be too wet or too dry, pay attention to find out the reasons and adjust it in time. When it is too dry, you can spray a small amount of water in the breeding soil or increase the amount of green feed. If it is too wet, you can open the window for ventilation and moisture dissipation or reduce the amount of green feed, etc. These are effective measures to adjust the humidity of the breeding soil. The thickness of the breeding soil is closely related to the age of the insects and the number of insects. Insects above the 9th instar, including adults, can drill to a depth of 30 cm. Nymphs move at a depth of about 6 cm. If the number of nymphs is large, the thickness of the breeding soil should be correspondingly thicker, otherwise it should be slightly thinner.

In order to make the breeding soil loose and fertile, you can also add an appropriate amount of rice husks, fire ash, sawdust or fermented horse and cow dung, as well as bean shells, river mud, etc. But be careful not to use sewer mud or soil that has been applied with ammonia, pesticides, or alkaline soil for breeding.

Artificially bred earthworms are mainly used for medicinal purposes and are distributed throughout the country. Artificial breeding of earthworms should be adapted to local conditions and be simple and make do with what is available. Depending on the scale of breeding, there are no restrictions on size and many forms. Breeding can be done in tanks, pits (ponds), pots, cabinets, boxes, etc.

The earthworm is an insect with incomplete metamorphosis. It has to go through three stages: egg, nymph and adult to complete one generation. It takes about one and a half to two and a half years for wild earthworms. In southern China, when the temperature rises above 10℃ in early and mid-April each year, they begin to emerge from the ground and move until mid-to-late November when the temperature drops below 10℃. They gradually bury themselves in the ground and stop moving to hibernate. Except for male adults, all other insects can hibernate. The egg-laying period of female insects is from early May to mid-November, with June to September as the peak period of egg-laying. Hatching begins in late June and early to mid-July. All eggs laid before mid-August can hatch in mid-November of the same year. Eggs laid from late August to before hibernation will not hatch until late June or early July of the following year. The growth and development period of male nymphs is about 280 to 320 days, and that of female nymphs is about 500 days. The growth, development, egg-laying and reproduction speed of the Chinese softshell turtle are closely related to temperature, humidity, food, etc. The suitable temperature for its activities is between 15 and 35 degrees Celsius, and the most suitable temperature is 25 to 35 degrees Celsius. If it is lower than 0 degrees Celsius or higher than 38 degrees Celsius, it will cause a large number of adults and nymphs to die. The suitable relative humidity is 50 to 80%.

The ground beetle lives mostly in damp loose soil and is afraid of sunlight. It is often found in the loose soil of sweet potato cellars, kilns, stoves, warehouses and walls that are moist, warm and rich in humus, and in the loose soil near firewood piles, pig pens, cow sheds and stables. It lurks in the soil during the day and comes out to move, forage or mate at night. The difference between male and female insects is that the second and third arcs of the three horizontal lines on the back of the chest are crescent-shaped. The arc angle is about 700 for female insects, and about 400 for male insects; there are 4 horizontal lines on the abdomen for female insects, and 6 for male insects; there is a horizontal line connecting the tail filaments at the end of the abdomen for male insects, and the horizontal line is far from the tail filaments for female insects; when crawling, the six legs of male insects are erected, with a higher posture, while the six legs of female insects are lying on the ground, with a lower posture.

Hello, you can choose clean loess. You can collect some sun-dried loess from the mountains, grind it into powder and use it. The number of times to change the soil depends on the amount of breeding.

The best way to raise earthworms is to use ordinary garden soil and wood ash. The purpose of adding wood ash is to increase the humidity and softness of the incubation soil. Wood ash itself is alkaline, which can reduce the breeding of mites and has no effect on earthworms.
