1. How to Breed Golden Cicada (Pictures and Text)

Golden cicada is a representative species of Cicadidae insects. It has extremely high nutritional value and unique taste. It has become a famous dish suitable for various occasions. Due to the increasing social demand, artificial large-scale breeding has become the main trend. The following is an introduction to the method of greenhouse breeding of golden cicadas.

First, choose dwarf fruit trees such as apricot trees, peach trees, apple trees or other dwarf shrubs as the breeding trees for golden cicadas. The planting time is generally from May to July or September to October. Dig regular narrow trenches about 10 to 30 centimeters deep about 1 meter away from the base of the trunk, such as ring, square, triangle, parallel and radial shapes. After planting, cover the soil and compact it, and keep records of the time, quantity, planting species, trench shape and depth.

Second, build a breeding greenhouse on the eve of the cicadas emerging from the ground. You can build a gauze greenhouse and use short trees. The gauze should be at least twice the height of the trees. This will allow the cicadas to reproduce freely. For breeding, choose high and dry land with convenient drainage and irrigation. Such terrain is conducive to the later maintenance of the cicadas. Avoid building breeding greenhouses in low-lying land that is prone to water storage.

Third, after the cicada emerges from the soil, it has a strong tendency to move toward light. It will enter the greenhouse after it has emerged as an adult. It can mate and lay eggs about 20 days after emergence. When laying eggs, the cicada pierces the epidermis of the branches and lays eggs in the wood. The main natural enemies of the cicada are ants and small red flower bugs, which must be strictly prevented. Strong ammonia can be used for soil treatment.

Fourth, the depth of the golden cicada planting should be 30 to 50 cm. It should be sunny and frost-proof. The soil should be soft, fertile, and pollution-free. It should not be too dry, nor should it have too much water or water accumulation. This ensures that the host plant root system grows normally and that the young plants are tender, developed, and juicy. In winter, wheat straw, rice straw, corn straw, etc. should be covered in the planting area to maintain ground temperature.

Fifth, after burying the eggs for 2 to 3 years, the cicada insects will gradually grow and mature, and the harvesting period is generally during the summer solstice every year.

2. What is the current artificial breeding technology of golden cicadas? Is the yield high?

Cicada breeding is both simple and difficult, but as long as you pay attention to a few things, you can raise cicadas well. Generally, one acre of willow forest can produce about 150 to 300 kilograms of cicadas per year. The current price of one kilogram of cicadas ranges from 50 to 85 yuan. Cicada breeding requires a certain level of technology. If you have just built a garden, plant 150 to 200 trees per acre. Willows and elms are the best. The size of the tree should be more than 5 centimeters long. Large trees require a high investment. In the first year, 100,000 bred cicada eggs are placed because the trees are just planted in the first year.

Epidemic prevention preparations: There are many natural enemies of nymphs after unearthed and adults after emergence, such as snakes, hedgehogs, rodents, wild cats, toads, etc. Generally, sparrows and mantises like to eat nymphs. At the same time, microorganisms such as green muscardine, white bassiana, and entomogenous algae fungi also pose parasitic hazards. The adult body is 40-48 mm long and has a wingspan of 125 mm. The whole body is black and shiny, with a metallic luster. The compound eyes are light reddish brown. According to scientific analysis, the cicada body is rich in amino acids, proteins and trace elements, and essential amino acids for the human body account for 46.63% of the total amino acids.

First of all, cicadas need to suck tree roots to grow up, and they need trees to grow. You can plant dozens of poplars or fruit trees per acre like normal trees, or you can plant hundreds of trees. The number of cicada pupae produced will be more than double, but the management should be more diligent than normal. The yield of artificially bred golden cicadas depends mainly on the number of breeding. You can choose healthy tree species with more juice, and intercrop some root and tuber plants, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams. Usually, you should ensure the normal growth and development of the host plant roots, and you can add some straw in winter.

There is a serious shortage of wild cicada resources. In places where people like to eat cicadas, they have become a rarity. The price of one cicada has increased from a few cents to more than one yuan, which shows that the market demand is still very large. Cicadas are high-protein insects with high nutritional value and are pure natural green food. However, the freshness and taste of artificially cultivated cicadas are slightly different from those of wild cicadas.

I think artificial breeding technology is very good and convenient, not troublesome, with very high yields and a lot of profit.

Personally, I feel that the current artificial breeding technology of cicadas is very good, and the market value is also very high. If it is planted well, the yield will also be very high.

The technology is still very good, and the yield is also very high, because now many people really like to eat cicadas. The breeding technology is also very good.

It requires very professional artificial breeding technology, maintain ventilation, pay attention to hygiene, avoid direct sunlight, and have very nutritious feed. The yield is still relatively high.

3. What are the benefits of raising cicadas?

What is the use of breeding golden cicadas? In fact, people now breed golden cicadas mainly for food and medicinal purposes.

In my country, cicadas have always been said to be the "Tang Monk's meat" that can make people immortal, which shows its high nutritional value and its status in people's hearts. Nowadays, people have even hyped up the nutritional value of cicadas to a peak, and many people have started to breed them. However, due to the immature technology of breeding cicadas and the long growth cycle, they have not been widely bred and popularized. Now only a few people are still exploring their breeding technology. (Please note that most of the technology for selling cicada seedlings and packages is a scam)

Another major function of the golden cicada is to make medicine. Both the cicada shell and the golden cicada itself are very good traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, the golden cicadas we see in pharmacies are either artificially bred or purely natural and wild.

Nowadays, people breed cicadas mainly because of their high nutritional value and breeding prospects. Many places have introduced cicadas as high-end dishes, with dozens or even hundreds of cicadas per kilogram. In the case of severe shortage of wild resources and the current immature breeding technology, there is still a lot of room for development in cicada breeding, so everyone is eager to make money because they all want to be the first to make money from cicada breeding.

In short, the prospects for cicada breeding are very broad. It is not only a high-end delicacy, but also a high-quality medicinal material. If you have free woodland or orchard at home, you might as well plant some cicadas and try raising them. Maybe you will become the person who breaks through the technology.

As for the question of what is the use of raising cicadas, I think most people are familiar with cicadas, because there is an idiom in ancient times that has been passed down to this day, "Golden cicada sheds its shell", everyone has heard of it, right? In ancient times, because cicadas can shed their shells, people regarded them as mascots of rebirth. The royal tombs unearthed from the Han Dynasty are enough to show that the status represented by jade cicadas is not ordinary.

So in modern times, what is the use of raising cicadas?

Since it is a farmed cicada, it is enough to show that it has extraordinary uses. According to what I have learned, the main purpose of breeding cicadas is as follows.

1. Economic value: What is the economic value of the golden cicada? Speaking of economy, it is definitely related to the market economy. In the past, the price of golden cicadas in the market was very high. How high was it? It was sold by the piece. A newly unearthed golden cicada (cicada monkey) cost 50 cents each. Converted to one kilogram, can you guess how much it costs? Moreover, the price of farmed golden cicadas is also not cheap, also costing 30 cents each. It's a pity that not many people know how to farm and are willing to farm because they don't have the technology or the farming cycle is long.

2. Edible value: Where is the edible value of golden cicada? Its price shows that it has a high nutritional value. Its protein content is higher than any poultry or fish, reaching about 70%, which is why people are willing to buy it even though it is expensive. It should be noted that although golden cicada is delicious, some people will have allergic symptoms after eating it, so you should not eat too much even if it is delicious.

3. Medicinal value: As for the medicinal value of golden cicada, cicada shell is a very good traditional Chinese medicine. Since the weight of cicada shell is very light, the price is definitely not cheap.

Summary: According to the current situation, the three most common types of cicadas are basically cultivated. As long as you cultivate them, you don’t have to worry about no one wanting them. However, if you want to cultivate cicadas, even if there is a market, the cultivation technology and cycle are the main reasons why most people are unwilling to cultivate them.

I believe everyone has heard of the idiom "golden cicada sheds its shell", but I don't know much about golden cicadas. Golden cicadas are also called cicada monkeys, which are closely related to the well-known cicadas, because they are young cicadas, that is, cicada babies. And the process of the cicada monkey becoming a cicada is the process of the cicada monkey becoming a cicada. When we were young, technology was not as advanced as it is now. There were no mobile phones or computers, and even cartoons were only played in the evening. And catching cicada monkeys in the woods with friends on summer nights was a great fun in life. There were really a lot of golden cicadas at that time. A small bottle could be filled with them in a short time. Many people just regarded it as an insect and caught it for fun. Some people mainly caught it to fry and eat. It is worth mentioning here that eating the cicada monkey after frying is really a delicacy. I liked to eat fried golden cicadas very much when I was a child. However, although golden cicadas are delicious, few people ate them specifically at that time. Most of them just tried it for novelty. Until now, with the development of the times, more and more impossible things have become possible. Just like cicada has become a delicacy on the table, people say that eating it is very nutritious, its protein and amino acid content is very high, and some people even say that eating three cicadas is equivalent to eating an egg. People are increasingly pursuing green, healthy and nutritious food. But it is true that cicada is not only nutritious but also delicious, especially its shell is a Chinese medicine with extremely high medicinal value. Then followed a large number of people catching cicadas, in and out of the city, in the village and out of the village, just because it is in high demand and high price, if you are lucky, you may make a fortune from it. However, with the large-scale capture, there are very few cicadas even in rural areas now, and it has become a state of supply exceeding demand. Therefore, some smart people immediately found that there is a business opportunity, so they did not catch cicadas in the mountains and forests like most people, but contracted a forest for special breeding. Through reading books and the enthusiastic sharing of cicada breeding experts, I found that in order to raise cicadas well, you must pay attention to the following points: 1. Soil and plants. Many people mistakenly believe that cicadas grow in the ground, but this is not the case. At the beginning, cicadas grow on dry trees, when they are still small eggs. After hatching and growing, they gradually grow into the size of small ants. Only then will they grow in the soil, and they mainly live on the roots of plants, relying on the nutrients in the soil for their growth. So this requires very high soil. It should not be too dry or have too much water content, and the soil must be soft and fertile. 2. Trees and environment. Grown-up cicadas no longer rely solely on the soil, they also need forest trees like other insects and animals. Then the question is, the cost of contracting a piece of mountain forest is very high, and not every kind of tree is suitable for cicadas to live. What kind of trees are suitable for breeding cicadas? In fact, there are many, such as hawthorn trees and apple trees, which have juicy branches and trunks, which are actually the favorites of cicadas. As for choosing such trees, there is actually another advantage that it is easy to catch. After all, these trees are not very tall trees, so it is also easier to catch them. Every year during the cicada catching season, the staff will wrap the branches of the trees with transparent tape to facilitate catching. 3. Breeding technology. Not everything will be successful as long as you are willing to do it, and breeding cicadas is no exception. First of all, you must learn scientific breeding methods, and then make reasonable adjustments based on local actual conditions. For example, the cicada eggs are hatched in March and April each year, and the eggs are placed in the land from April to June. July and August are the time to capture cicadas. But it is not necessary to operate according to this time period, because with the differences in geographical location, climate temperature, etc. are different, so the production situation of cicadas is actually changing. If you really want to breed cicadas well, you must make appropriate changes based on local actual conditions. Of course, everything is easier said than done. Breeding cicadas is actually not as simple as imagined. The tedious steps involved cannot be explained clearly in a few words. For friends who also want to make a fortune from this, I remind you to think carefully, then seriously learn breeding techniques, communicate more with experienced people, and never rashly engage in breeding, otherwise you will definitely get a bloody lesson.

The traditional name of golden cicada is "zhiliao". I knew it had certain medicinal value when I was a child. I often looked for the shells shed by cicadas on trees and collected them. Golden cicada pupae are rich in protein. In recent years, the number of cicadas in nature has gradually decreased, so breeding golden cicadas has a bright future. Breeding golden cicadas mainly focuses on harvesting golden cicada pupae, but breeding golden cicadas from golden cicada eggs to pupae requires two years, and the environment and land requirements are relatively high. With certain technology, one acre of land can produce about 200-300 kilograms, and the price varies in different regions.

Golden cicada is a commercial name, and its name is cicada (Ciccdidae). It belongs to the animal kingdom, the phylum Arthropoda, the class Insecta, the order Hemiptera, the family Cicadidae, the genus Cicadae, and the species Cicadae. It is commonly known as cicada.

The nutritional value of golden cicada is very high, with a protein content of more than 70% and a fat content of about 10%. The protein contains mostly essential amino acids needed for human growth and development. It is very easy to digest and absorb after consumption. It is a high-end food ingredient. In addition to being eaten at home, it is also a dish on the menu of restaurants and hotels.

The cicada has a typical dividing point in its growth cycle, which is when it emerges from the ground, climbs onto a tree trunk and sheds its skin, all in a very short time. Only after shedding its skin does the individual become the noisy cicada (cicada) in summer. The saying "the transformation of life" comes from the growth habits of this type of animal.

The skin shed by the golden cicada is called cicada slough. It is a very good medicinal material and can be used to treat common diseases such as exogenous wind-heat, hoarseness due to cough, itchy rashes, red eyes and eye opacities, dysentery due to convulsions in children, and nighttime crying. It also has the functions of a natural health product that can invigorate the essence and strengthen the yang, relieve cough and promote body fluid, protect the lungs and kidneys, and resist bacteria and lower blood pressure.

Golden cicadas are nutritious, have high medicinal value, and are natural health products, which makes the market price of golden cicadas high and the demand is large. Therefore, breeding golden cicadas can also achieve high economic benefits.

Golden cicada, commonly known as cicada turtle, cicada monkey, etc., belongs to the family Cicadidae. Golden cicada is a commonly used precious Chinese medicinal material in my country, often used to treat exogenous wind-heat, sore throat, itchy urticaria, red eyes, eye opacity, infantile epilepsy, and night crying. In addition, golden cicada is an excellent delicacy when cooked, with a fresh taste and rich nutrition. The prospects for artificial breeding of golden cicada are promising. Golden cicada is widely used in medicine and has a large market demand.

In addition to its own nutritional value, breeding cicadas can of course bring rich economic returns to breeders! Cicadas are a wild insect. As their nutritional value is further developed, the market demand for cicadas has increased dramatically, so large-scale artificial cicada breeding farms have appeared in some areas. The price of cicadas in the market is generally 65 yuan per catty, and the lowest price of cicadas produced that year can be sold for 70 yuan per catty, which is also a very good economic benefit for many breeders. So how many catties can be produced by breeding one acre of cicadas?

1. The yield of one acre of golden cicada cultivation

The output of cicada farming is often affected by natural conditions and internal conditions, so the output is not fixed. In this regard, several local cicada farmers were interviewed. Under normal circumstances, the output of one mu of cicada farming can reach about 500 kilograms. For novices who have just started to raise cicadas, the output per mu is generally more than 100 kilograms or more than 200 kilograms, and of course there are also more than 300 kilograms. Analyzed in this way, the output of cicada farming is not very high. If the output is further increased, does it mean more money?

2. Breeding cost investment

The cost of cicada breeding investment is also closely related to the way of breeding cicadas. Different breeding methods will naturally have different breeding costs. The breeding costs include land rent, seedling planting, cicada eggs, labor costs and other auxiliary breeding costs. Generally speaking, the seedling fertilizer fee is about 50 to 100 yuan, the cicada egg fee is about 500 yuan per mu, and the other costs are about 300 to 400 yuan. In other words, the total cost of breeding one mu of cicadas is generally about 1,500 yuan.

3. Profit Return

The profit of raising one acre of cicadas is very high, so we have to calculate it based on the output of cicadas, the market price of cicadas in that year, and the cost of raising cicadas. Generally speaking, the lower the breeding cost, the higher the economic profit. If we assume that one acre can produce 300 kilograms of cicadas, and the market price is 50 yuan per kilogram, the total income of raising one acre of cicadas is 15,000 yuan. The profit return is the total income minus the cost investment, so the net profit is about 13,500 yuan. It seems that the profit space is still huge.

4. Factors affecting the production of golden cicada

The production of cicadas is mainly affected by two conditions: natural conditions and internal factors. Let's mainly understand the factors affecting these two aspects. The impact of natural conditions on the production of cicadas is generally manifested in two aspects: climate change and breeding environment. The internal factors include the variety of cicadas, the quality of cicada eggs, and breeding technology. So if we want to increase the production of cicadas, we have to attack from all aspects. (Special breeding is risky, so be cautious when investing!)

Golden cicada, also known as cicada monkey, has extremely high nutritional value and unique taste. The newly unearthed nymphs contain the highest protein, up to 58.58%-70.2%, which is four times that of beef and six times that of eggs. Cicada pupae are rich in amino acids, proteins and trace elements, and are high-level nutritional supplements for the weak, sick, elderly and postpartum women. Chinese medicine believes that cicada molts are salty and sweet, cold in nature, and can clear away heat, extinguish wind and calm the nerves. Golden cicada has the effects of nourishing essence and strengthening yang, relieving cough and promoting body fluid, protecting lungs and kidneys, antibacterial and lowering blood pressure, treating baldness and inhibiting cancer. Cicada molts have a great effect on treating stomach diseases. Cicada pupae can produce substances with pharmacological activity, which can effectively increase the level of white blood cells in the human body, thereby improving the human immune function and delaying the aging of human functions. Cicada pupa oil can lower blood lipids and cholesterol, and has a significant effect on treating hypercholesterolemia and improving liver function.

Cicada slough has a very good effect on the treatment of tetanus. Taking the powder of cicada slough with rice wine and cooperating with other treatments can cure tetanus. Cicada slough can also treat skin diseases, such as chronic urticaria. Taking it for about 3 days can improve the symptoms and slowly reduce the measles on the skin. Taking it for 20 consecutive days can completely cure it and will not recur. It is used for exogenous heat and early stage of febrile disease, fever, headache\early stage of measles, and poor rash. It is used for wind-heat in the liver meridian, red eyes, excessive tears and other symptoms. It is used for wind-heat in the liver meridian and children crying at night.

In modern society, people pay more attention to their health and have higher requirements for the quality of life. People's diet is a combination of food therapy and nourishment, advocating "medicine and food are of the same origin". Golden cicada food is the ideal food for people to use as both medicine and food. It is a pure natural, pollution-free green wild insect (artificially cultivated golden cicadas only shorten the initial hatching time, and the entire growth process is still completely wild, and the nutritional value is no different from that of pure wild ones). It is not polluted by feed additives, pesticides, and hormones, and is high in protein and low in fat, which is very popular among consumers. The most common ways to eat it are "fried golden cicada", "crispy golden cicada", "pepper and salt golden cicada", etc.

It takes three years for cicadas to lay eggs and harvest cicada pupae. There are fewer and fewer wild cicadas, while the market demand is increasing. Therefore, more and more cicadas have been farmed in recent years. Cicada farming does not require special sites or houses. It only needs to use idle houses for heating during the incubation period. Adult cicadas grow by sucking the sap of tree roots. They do not need to be fed or specially managed. Because cicadas eat very little, they are harmless to trees and do not affect their normal growth. Cicadas can be farmed on poplar or fruit trees over three years old without affecting the growth of trees. Generally, about 500 cicadas can be raised per mu. Each high-quality seed strip has about 150-400 cicada eggs. With proper management, about 100,000 cicadas can be produced per mu in 24 months, which is quite profitable.

Since cicadas have high edible and medicinal value, are easy to breed and have broad market prospects, they are a good way to get rich in rural areas.

Golden cicada has high nutritional value, which enriches life, improves quality of life, and increases income, killing two birds with one stone

The title of the book is Frog, which means food.
