CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Does breeding red worms have an impact on environmental pollution? (Does breeding red worms have an impact on environmental pollution?)

1. How to cancel red worm farming?

In the rice fields, the red paddy fields turned brown as quicklime was sprinkled in. So far, two red worm breeding farms in Anjiang Village and Zhangtun Village in Songxi County, Fujian Province have been completely sprinkled with lime, marking that red worm breeding in Songxi County has been completely banned.

In order to focus on solving the prominent ecological and environmental problems in the river basin and ensure that the water quality in the river basin is stable and meets the standards, the Nanping City Inspection Team and the Nanping City Ecological Environment Cross-Inspection Team inspected the river basins of various counties (cities and districts) and found two illegal bloodworm breeding sites in Zhengdun Town, Songxi County, which seriously polluted the water quality of the Xinpuxi small watershed.

It is understood that the two bloodworm farms occupy a total of 55 acres of paddy fields, use pig breeding waste as feed, have no environmental protection facilities, and emit foul-smelling gases in an unorganized manner. The breeding wastewater is directly discharged into Xinpu Creek, seriously polluting the downstream water bodies.

In order to comprehensively rectify the problems found in the cross-law enforcement inspections in small watersheds, Huang Meiping, secretary of the Songxi County Party Committee, presided over a special meeting, formulated a work plan, and established a special red worm eradication task force with the executive deputy county chief as the team leader and the deputy county chief as the deputy team leader. A four-level linkage mechanism was established among the counties, townships, villages, and project units that "horizontally covers the competent departments and vertically reaches the grassroots level."

According to the person in charge of the Songxi County Ecological Environment Bureau, Songxi County has adopted a "three-step" strategy. First, cut off the source of feed to promote production and quantity reduction. Instruct pig breeding companies such as Kecheng, Yongrun, and Qiansicang to prohibit the provision of pig manure to red worm breeding sites, and urge red worm breeding sites to reduce the quantity until the red worm farms are closed. Secondly, catch red worms step by step to promote step-by-step withdrawal. In order to reduce the economic losses of insect farmers and resolve resistance, the working measures of "catching one hill (red worms) and sprinkling one hill (lime)" are adopted to clear and withdraw red worm breeding sites in stages. Finally, take advantage of the situation to promote transformation and production. While the red worms are being cleared, the Songxi Ecological Environment Bureau arranges special personnel to enter the farms and households, actively communicate with farmers, guide and help farmers adjust their production and operation activities, transform and develop green agriculture, and switch to lotus seeds and rice.

After remediation, the water quality of the Xinpuxi watershed has been significantly improved and has reached Class III standards.

2. Does the Environmental Protection Bureau regulate insect breeding?

Yes, because pollutants will be produced during the breeding process. The Rural Environmental Protection Section of the Environmental Protection Bureau is specifically responsible for environmental protection issues in rural areas, so the Environmental Protection Bureau is in charge of rural breeding.

No matter what you raise, the Environmental Protection Agency will take care of it.

The disorderly development of breeding of red worms and earthworms has brought about a series of environmental pollution problems. The direct discharge of sewage from breeding of bullfrogs and red worms emits a foul odor and breeds mosquitoes and flies, which seriously affects the surrounding water bodies and ecological environment.

3. Red worm farming?

Simple breeding method of red worms

Red worms are most common in environments with slow flow and rich water quality. They are widely used, and the most popular use is as fish feed and fishing bait. They are especially popular in fishing, so how do you raise them?

1. Seed collection

Bloodworms are a species that can reproduce quickly. As long as farmers have some seeds, they can reproduce quickly. There are two ways to obtain seeds. One is to find wild bloodworms yourself. The species found in this way have lower guarantees in terms of safety and efficiency, and it takes a long time to reproduce. The other is to buy seeds. This method is relatively more expensive, but it takes less time. If you go to the wild to obtain seeds, look for some places where water has been stagnant for a long time, is not well circulated, and has poor water quality. Basically, you can find them in places where water has been stagnant for a long time, is not well circulated, and has poor water quality.

2. Construction of breeding environment

The most important thing in breeding red worms is the choice of breeding environment. If it is not done well, the red worms cannot reproduce. The breeding site should be relatively dark, with basically no sunlight. A damp environment is the best environment for red worms. Secondly, the water flow in the breeding pond should be controlled at a speed that is basically imperceptible, and the water quality should not have any peculiar smell, otherwise it will stimulate its growth. The replaced water generally needs to be exposed to the sun, so that the water quality is suitable for the survival of red worms.

3. Feeding

Red worms need to be fed with something unique, and the food they feed is very diverse. Whether it is manure or some fermented and perishable items, they are basically their food, and they mainly feed on organic debris. Some special places also have special breeding feeds, such as rice bran, banana peels, etc., which are relatively high-quality feeds after fermentation. They are released every 2-3 days, and the amount is selected according to the scale and density. The amount per acre is controlled at 100-200 kilograms, and it needs to be released evenly.

4. Management

It is also necessary to change the water source when breeding red worms, because red worms will secrete some unnecessary substances during the growth process, and the time process will also affect their growth. Secondly, pay more attention to the color of the water when breeding. If the color is darker, then you will need to put less feed next time, and the water quality at this time is richer. Pay attention to the control of light on a daily basis. At night, make sure there is no light near the breeding pond and it is in a dark state. If there is light exposure for a long time at night, growth and reproduction will be inhibited.

Red worms are now a good project. With the rise of the fishery industry, the demand will also increase. In addition, the threshold for breeding red worms is very low, so interested farmers can consider it.

4. Can red worms be raised directly with purified water?

Red worms cannot be raised directly with purified water

It is best not to use tap water. Use filtered water, purified water or boiled water. It is similar to changing the water for ornamental fish. Remember that the water layer only covers the thickness of the red worms by 20%, about 30%. Do not put too much water, otherwise there will be hypoxia. It is generally stored indoors at room temperature of about 10 degrees.

In summer, it is best to place them in the fresh-keeping layer or the cold storage layer of the refrigerator. It is best to change the water every two or three days. During the water change, the red worms should be taken out and placed on a dry towel in a cool place to dry. This way the survival rate of the red worms is higher and the survival period is longer. Normally, the survival period of fresh red worms is about twenty days. The longest I have kept them alive is one and a half months.

5. How to raise red worms at home?

To breed red worms, you can choose an open container with a large area exposed to air, then put fresh red worms in it and pour river water into the container to create a moist growth environment for the red worms. If the breeding time is long, the red worms should be cleaned regularly to clean the mucus they secrete.

How to breed red worms

1. Breeding environment

Red worms, also known as bloodworms, are the larvae of midges. They have a bright red epidermis and are worm-like. To breed red worms, you need to choose an open container with a large air contact area and a shallow depth, disinfect it, then put fresh red worms in it and add river water.

2. Clean regularly

During the growth process of red worms, they will secrete a kind of mucus, which will cause water pollution and deterioration. When breeding, the red worms and containers should be cleaned once a day to clean the mucus on the red worms and the inner wall of the container, and then replace with new river water for breeding.

3. Provide food

Red worms feed on humus in the soil and animal feces. When they are artificially bred, they can be provided with glucose solution or a solution made of yeast powder and water to supplement their nutrition. Red worms eat a lot, so they should be fed once a day to maintain their growth.

6. Will feeding red worms pollute the water?

Feeding bloodworms pollutes water bodies because bloodworms are bottom dwellers that contain bacteria and cause microbial growth.

Red worms eat a large amount of food, so they should be fed once a day to maintain their growth.

8. Why are red worms prohibited in black ponds?

First, the main reason is that fish like red worms too much. No matter how the black pit boss adjusts the bait eating habits in the breeding, it will be useless when it comes to red worms. If you can catch 10 catties of fish with other baits, you may be able to catch 20 catties with red worms. The effect is so obvious that the boss can't afford to lose money and will definitely not do it.

Secondly, in addition to this, red worms may also cause fish to have a biased taste in the mouth, which is not conducive to black pit breeding in the short term.

Third, using a large number of bloodworms will also cause water pollution and make fish sick. Therefore, almost all black pits explicitly prohibit the use of bloodworms as bait.

9. Is it illegal to raise red worms in farmland?

Illegal.

The wastewater generated by bloodworm farming is discharged directly into the village river without treatment, polluting the water source and land.

Red worms are farmed on the surface of farmland, which is an open-air operation. There are no environmental protection facilities, and the foul-smelling gas is discharged in an unorganized manner, which seriously affects the production and life of the surrounding areas. On sunny days, the stench of the farms exposed to the sun can permeate the entire village; on rainy days, the pig manure from the red worm farms is washed into the river by rainwater, seriously polluting the downstream water bodies. With the arrival of summer, the breeding of bacteria and mosquitoes has seriously affected the health of the surrounding people.
