CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to use chicken manure to attract worms and feed chickens?

Chicken manure can be used as plant fertilizer or animal feed, usually as feed for pigs, cattle, sheep and fish. Fresh chicken manure can be added directly. If there is a technology to ferment chicken manure to feed chickens, you can also try it.

1. Rice straw insect breeding method. Dig a rectangular pit with a width of 0.6m and a depth of 0.3m, cut the rice straw into 6-7cm long clean sections, boil it in water for 1-2 hours, take it out and pour it into the pit, cover it with 6-7cm thick sludge (ditch mud or pond mud, etc., the same below), garbage, etc., compact the sludge, and pour a basin of rice washing water every day. After about 8 days, worms will appear. Turn it over to let the chickens peck it, then cover it with sludge, etc., and pour rice washing water, and worms will continue to grow.

2. Cow dung insect breeding method. Add 10% rice bran and 5% wheat bran (or 0.1% wine cake powder) to cow dung, mix well, pile it in a cool place, cover it with weeds, straw, etc., and seal it with mud. Insects will appear after 20 days.

3. Miscellaneous material breeding method. Mix fresh cow dung, weeds, miscellaneous dung and other materials that are easy to breed worms, add water to make a paste, and pile it into a pile of 1m high, 1.5m wide and 3m long. Cover the top and sides of the pile with thin mud, and then cover the top of the pile with grass to prevent drying. Insects will grow after 7 to 15 days.

Additional information:

The insects used in chicken farms are: mealworms, earthworms, and maggots. Because these three insects have high nutritional value, reproduce quickly, and are easy to raise, many farmers use the feces produced in the farm to breed "worms" and then feed them to poultry and livestock, achieving an ecological cycle of breeding effects, greatly reducing the cost of breeding feed and increasing the economic benefits of the farm.

Among them, mealworms contain high levels of protein, fat, sugar and other nutrients, are juicy, soft, and have strong vitality, making them very easy to raise. Therefore, they are selected as the best feed by national zoos and breeding farms in various places.

Mealworms are live feeds and are suitable for ornamental fish, frogs, rare birds, birds, poultry, and reptiles. The growth cycle of economic animals that eat mealworms is shortened.

The movement of earthworms in the soil makes the soil loose, allowing more air and water to penetrate into the soil, which is beneficial to plant growth and can improve the soil.

Do not feed chickens with chicken manure to infect them with insects, because chickens only eat insects, plant seeds, feed, berries and grains. Chickens usually live in hills with grass and trees, and move to the fields in the severe winter to forage for insects, plant seeds, berries and grains.

Generally, the body temperature of chickens is between 40.8-41.5℃, so they must be raised in a well-ventilated environment that is warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition, chickens have a short digestive tract, vigorous metabolism, and rapid growth and development, so they must be fed nutritious and easily digestible feed to meet their needs.

Precautions for feeding chickens

1. Let the chickens eat some sand or insects in the soil. This can improve the chickens' digestive ability. This breeding method can relax the chickens and increase their egg production.

2. You can feed the chickens some herbal tea every once in a while. Because if the chickens live a normal life for a long time, their lungs will easily become hot, and they may suffer from asthma and colds. Feeding the chickens some herbal tea appropriately can reduce the occurrence of such diseases.

Step 1: Sui Yu

Fresh pig, chicken, duck and other manure is first put into the pond and fermented with Qi Fu culture bacteria liquid to reduce the odor of manure. After fermentation, it is sent to the maggot breeding room. Thousands of flies gather on the manure to lay eggs. The eggs hatch into small maggots after 8-12 hours. The small maggots grow up after 2-3 days. The grown-up maggots automatically crawl out of the manure pile and walk into the designated maggot collection bucket.

Step 2:

Add 40%-60% grass or garbage to the manure that has been used to raise maggots, and then use Qifu culture liquid to ferment the effective microorganisms. After fermentation, send it to the earthworm farm to raise earthworms. After the earthworms are grown into finished products, put the earthworms and the base material in a place with strong light (natural light is fine, not necessarily sunlight), and the earthworms will automatically shrink into a ball and can be taken out. Cheap fly maggots and earthworms are used to feed various economic animals.

Step 3:

The feces after raising earthworms becomes earthworm manure. According to experts, the nutritional content of earthworm manure is much higher than that of green fodder such as ryegrass, and is close to that of grains.

Uses of earthworm castings:

① Add a small amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc. and directly make it into granules, which will become high-quality compound fertilizer;

② Add 15-30% earthworm manure to feed to make pellet feed for pigs, chickens, ducks and fish. The feed quality does not change much, but it can also increase the palatability of animals.

③Pack it in bags and sell it as flower fertilizer at 1 yuan per kilogram, or sell it to flower companies, fruit farmers, vegetable farmers, feed factories, etc.;

④ Keep it for use as farmyard manure;

⑤ Directly feed carp, silver carp, bighead carp, snails, etc.

Taking one ton of pig manure as an example, the above treatment can produce 100-300 kg of maggots, 20-60 kg of earthworms and about 1,000 kg of earthworm manure (with grass or garbage added), with a total value of 600-1,000 yuan. A pile of ordinary manure has been used to the maximum extent. This is the most practical new model of biological chain breeding in China. Among them, the breeding technology of fly maggots and earthworms is even more advanced than that of foreign breeding technology. The whole process uses the effective microorganisms of Nongfukang breeding bacteria liquid, which makes the breeding process odorless, enhances the disease resistance of economic animals, accelerates the growth rate, improves the meat quality, and greatly reduces the cost. Many experts and professors from the College of Agriculture of Guangxi University gave a very high evaluation, believing that this is the most effective way to get the pure mu breeding industry out of trouble. The promotion of this technology will produce huge social and economic benefits!

Advantages of new technology for raising fly maggots

1. New technologies for breeding and utilizing maggots

This is a completely unique new technology for maggot farming.

Its characteristics are: 1. It completely changed the previous method of caged fly breeding and adopted room breeding, which increased the yield by 4 times compared with the past;

2. Invented a fully automatic maggot-feces separation device. This invention can make maggots automatically crawl out of the feces pile without any manpower, drugs or electricity, and scramble to "walk" into the predetermined maggot collection bucket. This effective and particularly simple device has impressed many experts and professors.

3. It can domesticate wild flies into housefly species with high egg-laying capacity, so that the farmed flies have the advantages of being fearless of humans, sterile, and living in groups.

4. Fly maggot breeding technology. There are three technologies taught to you. The first one is the outdoor simple house breeding technology. You only need to invest tens to hundreds of yuan to build a simple shed outdoors, and you can start mass production of fly maggots in a week, with a daily output of tens to hundreds of kilograms. The production cost is half of the house breeding method. But it is only suitable for production in summer and autumn, and this method is suitable for small and medium-sized breeders; the second fly maggot production and breeding technology is a professional large-scale production technology, with an investment of several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan, and a daily output of hundreds to thousands of kilograms; the third is the three-dimensional breeding technology invented at the end of April 2002, and the output is 2 to 3 times that of the first two technologies. It can be produced all year round, and the cost of producing one kilogram of fresh fly maggots is 0.5 to 1.00 yuan. This technology is suitable for medium and large-scale breeding professionals to start production.

Bacterial solution requirements

To cultivate the Qifu bacteria liquid (beneficial microorganisms), you need a clean and sanitary room with screens to prevent flies and mosquitoes from entering. There should be electricity for lighting, a large tank that can hold more than 50 kilograms of water, and a sealed red or white plastic basin.

Ingredients: 1 kg of Nong Fu Kang bacteria liquid, 1.5-2.5 kg of brown sugar, 92 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, a little honey, 46 kg of water (if it is tap water, it must be left for more than 48 hours for aeration to prevent harm from bleaching powder).

Clean the large vat and plastic barrel, put honey, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and brown sugar into the large vat, add clean water, shake well, put in the Qifu bacterial fertilizer strain, shake well. Then divide it into plastic barrels, tighten the barrel lid, and make it a cultivation barrel.

Place the culture bucket in the sun. If it is cloudy, increase the light at night. You can surround 4 or 3 buckets into a square or triangle, hang a 60-watt incandescent bulb in the middle, and shake the culture bucket twice a day. If the plastic bucket swells, it means the air pressure is high, indicating that the microorganisms reproduce quickly, and the lid should be unscrewed to release the air.

The incubation temperature is 22-38℃. Low temperature will prolong the incubation time. After 36 hours, stop adding light and test: the color should be brown or yellowish brown. If it is milky white, the incubation has failed. The smell should be sweet and sour. If there is no sour taste, it has deteriorated. The pH value should be below 3.8. If it does not meet the standard, it is because the fermentation time is not enough or there is too little brown sugar. It must continue to ferment or add brown sugar before fermenting, and finally become Qi Fu culture medium. Put the culture medium into a mineral water bottle, tighten the cap, and shake it a few times. If a lot of gas is produced, it means that the culture is successful. Sometimes there are suspended matter, which is normal.

Nongfukang culture medium cannot be stored in a transparent container for a long time, otherwise it will deteriorate. If it is not used for a long time, it should be stored in a dark and dry place in a semi-sealed state. The shelf life is about 1 month.

After the Qifu culture medium is successfully cultivated, fly maggots can be produced using fermented feces. First, prepare the manure, 80% pig manure, 16% wheat bran, 4% Nongfukang live bacteria culture medium; or 56% pig manure, 40% chicken manure, 4% Nongfukang live bacteria culture medium.

Add Qifu live bacteria culture solution (5 kg for 1 ton of the above manure) to the prepared manure, make the water content 90%, seal with film, ferment under the sun, turn the manure on the third day, and add 3 kg of Nongfukang live bacteria culture solution to make the pH value reach 6.5-7 (if it is higher than 7, add wine lees and vinegar; if it is lower than 6.5, add lime water). Then transport it to the maggot breeding room and pile it into strips, put some dead fish to attract flies to lay eggs. Other maggot breeding techniques are the same.

Economic benefits of maggot farming

Breeding fly maggots is an important way to solve the problem of protein feed in animal husbandry, reduce production costs and improve economic benefits. According to statistics, my country consumes more than 900,000 tons of fish meal each year, and needs to import about 800,000 tons. Due to the continuous decrease in the world's fish meal production in recent years, while the consumption has gradually increased, causing the price to rise continuously, the domestic fish meal unit price has now reached 5,900 yuan/ton. How to solve the supply of animal protein will directly affect the sustainable development of my country's animal husbandry industry, and vigorously developing fly maggot breeding is undoubtedly the wisest choice. Theoretically, under 24℃-30℃ conditions, it only takes 4-5 days for houseflies to develop from eggs to mature maggots, and the larvae increase from 0.08 mg at the beginning of hatching to 20-25 mg, and the total biomass can increase by 250-350 times. A pair of houseflies can reproduce 200 billion maggots in 4 months, which can accumulate more than 600 tons of pure protein, which can be said to be an efficient machine for producing egg quality. For example, if the production scale of 50 kg of fresh maggots is used per day, the investment is generally 500-600 yuan. The input-output ratio is related to the production raw materials. When wheat bran is used as the raw material, it is 1:2, when bean dregs and wine lees are used, it is 1:3, and when chicken and pig feces are used, it is 1:5. The cost is lower than raising earthworms and more cost-effective than raising mealworms. In particular, using livestock and poultry feces to breed fly maggots can greatly improve the utilization rate of feed and reduce production costs. A livestock and poultry farm with a fly maggot farm is equivalent to building another insect protein feed production plant. The raw material is the feces discharged by livestock and poultry, and the product is high-quality fly maggot protein feed.

Breeding fly maggots is an important way to solve the problem of fresh bait for breeding special economic animals. Experiments show that a 1-cubic-meter fly cage can raise 40,000 adult flies. Only 20 grams of milk powder and brown sugar are needed every day, and the eggs produced every day are raised in 4 kilograms of wheat bran or corn flour. On the fourth day, the maggots can be used to feed bullfrogs, American frogs, wood frogs, young turtles, mountain groupers, geckos, scorpions and other animals that eat fresh bait; when the scale of economic animal breeding is large, more fly maggots can be raised. If pig manure is used to breed maggots, the amount of wheat bran and corn flour can be reduced by nearly 80%, and the cost of breeding maggots can be reduced by about 60%. It not only treats pig manure, reduces environmental pollution, and increases the economic value of pig manure, but also provides enough fresh bait for economic animals. For example, a farmer in Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province, raises 14 cages of houseflies, producing 30 kilograms of maggots per day, enough for 1,000 soft-shelled turtles to eat. Since the houseflies were "integrated" into the ecological chain, the cost of raising soft-shelled turtles has been reduced by nearly half, and the annual output value has doubled, which is worth promoting in the breeding industry. Breeding maggots is one of the ways for farmers to get rid of poverty and become well-off.

In a sense, the breeding technology of fly maggots is relatively simple, does not require complex equipment, is easy to master, has a wide range of feed sources, requires little investment, and has quick results, making it suitable for professional batch breeding in families. For example, using an area of ​​200 square meters can produce about 60 kilograms of fresh maggots per day, which can be directly supplied to various farms for factory-scale production. By introducing high-tech, purchasing automated devices, fly maggot separation facilities, and fly maggot finished product processing equipment, etc., it can reduce labor intensity, increase product added value, and truly realize large-scale breeding of fly maggots.
