CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Technology and management of raising red worms (Technology and management methods of raising red worms)

1. What is the best way to raise red worms?

1. Breeding conditions: Red worms like to live in micro-flowing fertile water. Artificial breeding must meet this condition. They will reproduce in large numbers in late spring and early autumn. They must be collected in containers. It is best to raise them with natural water and take anti-cold measures when the temperature is low.

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

3. 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.

4. Feeding bait: Ferment rice bran, silt, pigeon droppings, sawdust, etc. into feed.

2. How to breed red worms?

Step/Method 1

Pool and density: When breeding red worms artificially, the number is generally large, and it is very common to breed them on a large scale. The first thing to pay attention to is the breeding pool and density. You can use a cement pool to breed red worms. The depth of the water 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 pool. The number of red worms should not be too large, otherwise the dissolved oxygen in the water will be insufficient, and there will be insufficient food.

Step/Method 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 vegetables. Even some bacteria can become their food. If you are breeding red worms artificially, you can also add some glucose to the water, which will help the red worms grow better.

Step/Method 3

Water temperature: When breeding red worms, you need to pay special attention to the water temperature, because the water temperature has a relatively large impact on the growth and development of red worms. Red worms are more afraid of heat, but not too afraid of cold, so it can be kept at around 10 degrees, or even more than 10 degrees. When the temperature is suitable, the growth and reproduction speed of red worms are relatively fast.

Step/Method 4

Water change: When breeding red worms, you must pay attention to water changes, otherwise the water quality will be poor and the dissolved oxygen content will be insufficient. The specific frequency of water changes can be determined according to the state of the water in the pool, and the water quality in the pool can be monitored in real time.

Step/Method 5

Light: Red worms don't like strong light, so try to keep the pool darker. If there is strong light during the day, it is recommended to cover it in time.

3. How to cultivate red worms for feeding fish?

How to cultivate bloodworms for fish feeding:

1. Red worms like to live in fertile water with slow flow. Late spring and early autumn every year is the season when red worms reproduce in large numbers. They float on the water surface, often making the water surface brown-red. This is an excellent opportunity to collect red worms.

2. When breeding a small amount of bloodworms at home, you can take the river pond sludge together with the bloodworms and put them in a basin or glass container. It is best to soak them with river water. If you use tap water for breeding, you should dry the tap water for 2 to 3 days in advance to remove bleach and other substances. Change the water every other day. In winter, you need to prevent freezing and put a wet red cloth on the container to keep it moist.

3. It is best to use a container with a larger area in contact with the air, because the red worms will float to the water surface and make breathing-like movements, so if there are too many of them, some of them may not be able to compete for a position and die.

4. Light source is necessary for raising red worms. The light source cannot be turned off at night. You can use a small light source (such as a 5w night light, etc.) at night. Because red worms are too lazy to breathe, if there is no light source, they will die easily the next day.

5. There are specialized breeding farms, most of which ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make breeding feed. For home breeding of red worms, you can use yeast powder soaked in water to feed them, but the amount must be controlled.

6. When the number of red worms increases, they should be collected and dried in time. In late autumn and winter, the reproduction capacity of red worms is greatly weakened. In winter, when you can't see the red worms in the water tank, don't pour out the water in the tank, because they are hiding in the green algae. You can put the water tank in a sunny room or near the radiator. In spring, when the indoor temperature rises, the red worms come out again. When the room temperature rises to above 28℃, the red worms begin to reproduce in large numbers.

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.

5. What is the correct way to feed red worms?

Environment: It is advisable to choose a cool and humid environment, and the density of red worms should not be too high.

Water source: Red worms are afraid of pungent odors. If they are raised with tap water, they must be exposed to the sun for a few days to remove the chlorine.

Cleaning: Clean the breeding pots and dead red worms in time to keep the red worm breeding pots clean.

Feeding: Glucose can be used directly for feeding, two or three times a week

6. How to raise red worms?

To raise red worms, you must first collect them and then prepare the breeding containers. During the breeding process, you must do a good job of water quality management, light source control, feed feeding, etc. When the number of red worms increases, you must harvest them in time and dry them.

1. Red worm collection

Red worms like to live in fertile water with slow flow. Late spring and early autumn every year is the season when red worms reproduce in large numbers. They float on the water surface, often making the water surface brown-red. This is a great opportunity for us to collect red worms.

2. Cultivation vessels

When raising a small amount of bloodworms at home, you can take the river pond sludge together with the bloodworms and put them in a basin or glass container. It is best to soak them in river water. If you use tap water for breeding, you should dry the tap water for 2 to 3 days in advance to remove bleach and other substances. Change the water every other day. In winter, you need to prevent freezing and put a wet red cloth on the container to keep it moist. It is best to use a container with a large area of ​​contact with air, because the bloodworms will float to the surface of the water and have a breathing-like movement, so if there are a lot of them, some of them may not be able to compete for a position and die.

3. Light source control

A light source is necessary for raising red worms, and the light source cannot be turned off at night. You can use a small light source (such as a 5-watt night light, etc.) at night, because red worms are too lazy to breathe, and if there is no light source, they will easily die the next day.

4. 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.

5. Harvest and Overwintering

When the number of red worms increases, they should be collected and dried in time. In late autumn and winter, the reproduction capacity of red worms is greatly weakened. When you can't see the red worms in the water tank, don't pour out the water in the tank, because they are hiding in the green algae. You can put the water tank in a sunny room or near the radiator. In spring, when the indoor temperature rises, the red worms come out again. When the room temperature rises above 28℃, the red worms begin to reproduce in large numbers.

7. Introduce the habits and breeding techniques of red worms?

Breeding environment selection

The artificial breeding of red worms is very important for the choice of environment. If the environment is not chosen well, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Red worms like to live in a dark and humid environment without direct sunlight and calm water. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a quiet and dark place for breeding red worms, such as under the shade of trees in front of and behind the house, abandoned ditches and canals, etc.

Construction of breeding ponds

The highest yield of artificial breeding of red worms is achieved by pond breeding. The breeding pond can be built into a cement pond with a length of 20 meters, a width of 1.5 meters, and a depth of 0.3 meters. After the cement pond is built, it must be de-alkalied before it can be used. The method is: fill the cement pond with water, sprinkle superphosphate (sprinkle 1 kg of superphosphate per cubic meter of water) and soak for 3 days. After de-alkali, spread a layer of fermented farmyard manure on the bottom of the pond, and then spread a layer of pond mud.

Collection of red worms

There are two ways to obtain brood worms for artificial breeding of red worms. One is natural reproduction, which is to allow midges to lay eggs and reproduce in the breeding pond in spring and autumn every year. The other is to collect adult worms artificially.

Red worms can be found everywhere in the southern region, and most artificial breeding is done by collecting them from the wild.

The best time to collect red worms is in spring and autumn, with the best time being April to May in spring and October in autumn. In the wild, in ditches, lakes, and ponds where water has been stagnant for a long time and has poor water quality, when you see the water is brown-red, it means that red worms are gathering on the water surface, and you can collect a lot of red worms.

Stocking density

The collected red worms are directly placed in the breeding pond for feeding. The water level is maintained at about 0.2 meters and the stocking density should be moderate. If the density is too high, the dissolved oxygen content in the water will be insufficient and food shortage will occur.

Feeding

Red worms are omnivorous and can be fed with a lot of food. In addition to the organic matter produced by farmyard manure in the breeding pond, you can also feed some easily rotten organic debris, such as vegetable leaves, rice bran, sawdust, etc. If it is a large-scale breeding, you can prepare special feed yourself, mix rice bran, banana peels, sugarcane bagasse, sawdust, pigeon manure or chicken manure with pond mud, and feed it after sufficient fermentation. Feed it once every 3 days, and feed it once at 100 catties/mu.

manage

Although red worms like to grow in fertile water and do not require high water quality, they still need to change water during artificial breeding. The frequency of water changes can be determined according to the water conditions in the breeding pond. If the water quality is particularly poor, the water color is black, and the water body smells, the water needs to be changed. You cannot use tap water or clear spring water to change the water. You can use natural water from the weir pond, take it back and place it for 2 days before putting it into the pond. Pay attention to avoid light. If the sunlight is strong during the day, you can build a shed or use branches to shade it.

8. How to raise red worms?

1. Prepare a suitable container

Before breeding red worms, you need to prepare a suitable container. The size of the container can be determined based on the number of red worms to be bred, the size of the location where they are placed, and other factors. Generally, glass or plastic containers can be used, and they must be watertight and have a large area in contact with the air.

2. Provide good water quality

Red worms are afraid of pungent smells. If you use tap water for breeding, we all know that tap water contains chlorine, which will affect the growth of red worms. Therefore, before using tap water, you need to expose it to the sun for a few days to eliminate chlorine and impurities. In rural areas, clean and clear river water or stream water can be used. Change the water every other day to keep the water quality good.

3. Keep the environment moist

The environment for raising red worms must be kept moist, and the breeding container must be placed in a cool place, or covered with a piece of cloth soaked in water.

4. Provide lighting conditions

Light source is a necessary condition for raising red worms. Provide continuous light source to maintain the life activities of the red worms. Remember not to place them in a dark room.

5. Clean and feed frequently

In the process of breeding red worms, it is necessary to clean the feeding utensils in time, keep the red worms clean, and pick out the dead red worms in time, because the dead red worms emit a strong pungent smell. A small amount of domestic red worms can be fed directly with glucose, usually a few milliliters, and fed 2-3 times a week. For large-scale red worm breeding, rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, sugarcane bagasse, sludge, pigeon manure, etc. can be fermented and made into nutrients for their absorption.

9. What are the breeding techniques for red worms?

1. Breeding pond: Bloodworm breeding is generally carried out on a large scale, so a breeding pond is needed. The number of bloodworms to be put in can be determined by the size of the breeding pond, and the water depth. When breeding bloodworms, the water should not be too deep. Generally speaking, 20 to 30 centimeters is more appropriate. In addition, some silt needs to be placed at the bottom of the pond, where bloodworms like to move around.

2. Food: The main food of red worms is plankton and organic debris in the water. When the water is rich in nutrients, the growth rate of red worms will be fast. Therefore, it is best to add some fermented fertilizer to the water regularly, so that the nutrients in the water will be richer. 3. Water quality: It is more appropriate to use river water or pond water to breed red worms, because such water is closer to the native environment of red worms, but tap water is more convenient. But don't use tap water directly. It is best to expose them to the sun for two or three days and wait until the chlorine in them is basically removed before using them. Red worms do not have high requirements for water quality, but water quality is closely related to dissolved oxygen, so water changes must also be done well.
