CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the good foods to feed red worms? (Video on What are the good foods to feed red worms?)

1. What food should be fed to farmed red worms?

Answer: (1) Red worms feed mainly on organic debris in the mud and love to eat bait with a sweet and sour taste. Their main sources of bait are poultry manure, domestic sewage, and waste from agricultural and sideline product processing.

(2) In professional breeding farms, raw materials such as rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, sugarcane bagasse, and pigeon manure are generally fermented first and then made into feed for red worms.

2. How to raise red worms?

The first thing to pay attention to is the breeding pond and density. You can use a cement pond to breed red worms. The water depth can be controlled at 20-30 cm. It does not need to be too deep. Some silt can be placed at the bottom of the pond.

2. Food: There are many kinds of food that red worms can eat. Some red worms only eat meat, while others are omnivorous and can eat both meat and vegetarian food.

3. What kind of feed is best for red worm breeding base?

Feeding

Most large-scale professional red worm farms use rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon manure, etc. to ferment and make them into breeding feed. Home-based red worm breeding can use yeast powder soaked in water to feed, but the amount must be controlled.

4. How to breed red worms?

Step/Method 1

When breeding red worms, prepare a glass container, put the selected red worms into it, and then inject clean and sterile natural water. If you want to use tap water for breeding, it is best to expose the tap water to the sun for 2-3 days to remove the chlorine in it to prevent poor growth of the red worms.

Step/Method 2

Control light source

The growth of red worms cannot be separated from light. Lack of light source will cause the red worms to have difficulty breathing and suffocate to death. When breeding, it is best to hang a 5-watt light bulb above the container to provide the red worms with sufficient light, allowing them to breathe freely and grow healthily.

Step/Method 3

Water quality control

When breeding red worms, the water should be changed once a day to keep the water clean. In the process of changing the water, the red worms and the container should be cleaned to remove the mucus to avoid the breeding of bacteria. The breeding water depth should be controlled at about 3-5 cm, and the water level should be deepened at night to keep warm.

Step/Method 4

Feeding. Red worms mainly feed on organic debris in the soil, and they particularly like sweet and acidic baits. Poultry manure, domestic sewage, etc. are all their baits. In professional farms, rice bran, sawdust, sludge, pigeon manure and other raw materials are generally fermented to make feed. If it is a family farm, yeast powder can be soaked in water and fed. Feeding is also a key point in red worm production. Feeding in small amounts and multiple times can increase production. Generally, feeding is done once every 3-4 days, and 50 to 100 kilograms of manure is fed per mu each time. It is mixed with water and sprinkled throughout the pond. When feeding, pay attention to the amount of residual bait, and do not blindly feed more, so as to avoid excessive organic matter in the water body causing fermentation to produce toxic substances, affecting production.

Feeding red worms

Specialized farms mostly ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make feed. For home-breeding red worms, you can feed them with yeast powder soaked in water, but the amount must be controlled.

6. What kind of feed is best for red worms?

Red worms mainly feed on organic debris in the silt and like to eat sweet and sour fish bait. If they are in professional farms, they also eat feed fermented from raw materials such as rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, and pigeon manure.

7. 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.

8. How to raise red worms?

Control the light source: Red worms like light, so the lights should not be turned off at night, otherwise they will easily die.

Water quality control: The water level can be slightly shallower during the day to increase the water temperature, and the water level can be deepened at night.

Feeding bait: Rice bran, silt, pigeon droppings, sawdust, etc. are fermented into feed.
