CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What do earthworms eat?

The diet of earthworms is very diverse, and the sources of feed are wide. Feed includes plant feed and animal feed. Among them, plant feed can be divided into green feed, cereal feed and cake (meal) feed, which is the main feed for breeding earthworms.

Plant-based feed:

1. Green feed: There are many kinds of green feed, such as lettuce, water spinach, rape, pumpkin, loofah, wax gourd, watermelon rind, potato, carrot, etc. Various wild vegetables, forage grass, leaves, stems and leaves of crops, and peels of fruits such as apples and pears. Among them, mulberry leaves, dandelions, lettuce, pumpkin, carrot, etc. are the most common green feed for earthworms.

2. Cereal feed: wheat bran, rice bran, sorghum, corn, etc. are the main feeds for feeding earthworms. Wheat bran is the main one, which can generally be fed raw. If it is slightly fragrant after being fried, steamed or boiled, earthworms will like it more and the effect will be better.

3. Cake (meal) feed: such as bean cake, bean curd residue, peanut cake, sesame cake, rapeseed cake, etc. This type of feed is rich in protein. Although it is not the main feed, it is not dispensable. Cake and meal feed has a great effect on the production of earthworms.

Animal feed:

Including fish meal, bone meal, silkworm pupa meal, small fish and shrimp, various animal debris, earthworms, etc. Adding this kind of feed can promote the rapid growth of earthworms and shorten the breeding cycle. It is a very good feed.

In short, there are many kinds of feed for earthworms, and the formula should be flexibly mastered. Only with reasonable matching and scientific formula can a good nutritional foundation be laid for the growth and development of earthworms, and high yield and high efficiency can be achieved in the future.

The maximum density of earthworms is 9 kg per square meter. Because they have the habit of eating eggs, the density cannot be too high. From June to September, feed daily, preferably in the morning. In other months, feed once every other day. When molting, feed less or no concentrate. The breeding pit should be dark, and leave small holes of 3.3 cm in length in the upper left corner and the lower right corner for ventilation. When the temperature is higher than 38℃, open the pit door to cool down. In the low temperature seasons of winter and spring, artificial heating can be used to keep earthworms from hibernating, so that commercial insects can be produced twice a year. Artificial heating can be maintained at a temperature of 27~32℃.

【Main food】：

The earthworm is an omnivorous insect, and its favorite food includes plant feed, animal feed and mineral feed. The earthworm likes fresh food, and its favorite food is bran and rice bran, followed by cornmeal, crushed grains, peanut cakes, soybean meal, fish, meat and various green vegetable leaves, melon and fruit peels, bone meal, shell powder and mineral feed. In the breeding process, in order to increase the growth rate of the earthworm, it can be fed with complete feed plus molting hormone for 5-6 months, and the individual can grow into an adult. You can also try to use fermented feed, and by reasonably matching it with bran, improve the palatability and enhance the immunity of the earthworm. However, spoiled or moldy feed cannot be fed, because moldy feed mainly contains Aspergillus flavus, which can cause mycotoxin poisoning and induce poisoning symptoms in earthworms. Spoiled food can cause gastrointestinal diseases (such as bloating) or poisoning symptoms in earthworms, and in severe cases can cause the death of a large number of earthworms.

【Introduction】：

Eupolyphaga sinensis Walker, a Chinese medicine name. It is the dried body of the female Eupolyphaga sinensis Walker or Steleophaga Plancyi (Boleny), an insect of the family Steleophaga. After being caught, it is put into boiling water and scalded to death, then sun-dried or baked. It is distributed in Hebei, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan and other places. It has the effects of breaking blood and removing blood stasis, and repairing tendons and bones. It is used for traumatic injuries, tendon injuries and fractures, blood stasis and amenorrhea, abdominal pain caused by blood stasis after childbirth, and lumps and masses.

【Growth Environment】：

It often lurks in the roots of trees and rotten grass in the mountains, hiding during the day and coming out at night.

1. Earth beetle: It lives in forests with rich humus or lurks in damp and loose soil at the foot of walls, firewood piles, and sundries inside and outside the house, under granaries, old kitchens, at the foot of stoves, or in damp places in oil mills.

2. Hebei Earth Turtle: It is distributed in most parts of the country, mainly in Hebei, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan and other places.

They eat soil and feed on the microorganisms in the soil.

I regretted raising earthworms. They died every day, day after day... This horrific scene made me regret it.

Since the Chinese turtles are so profitable, why don't you expand the scale of mass breeding and promote it to benefit others? Is that Lei Feng?
