1. What is the whole process of artificial breeding of red worms?

Step/Method 1

Red worms grow best in fertile water with steady water flow. When breeding red worms artificially, you need to build a cement pond with an area of ​​10-50 square meters. The depth of the water layer in the pond should be kept between 3-5 centimeters, and the bottom of the cement pond should be covered with silt rich in organic matter.

Step/Method 2

When artificially breeding red worms, there is no need to introduce species. When the water temperature rises above 14 degrees and the ambient temperature remains above 17 degrees, the chironomids will naturally fly to the breeding pond to lay eggs. During this period, it is best to keep the place quiet and not allow foreign animals to disturb the chironomids from laying eggs.

Step/Method 3

It only takes 2-7 days for red worms to hatch. The newly born larvae mainly feed on plankton and organic debris. You can sprinkle decomposed organic fertilizer into the pond once every week to increase the organic matter content in the pond water, or plant aquatic plants in the pond to provide enough food for the red worms.

Step/Method 4

Red worms are photophobic, so when breeding them artificially, you need to inject water into the pond when the light is relatively strong, so that the water depth is maintained at about 45 cm to prevent the red worms from being sun-dried to death. In addition, you need to build a pergola or sunshade net above the pond to allow the red worms to grow quickly.

2. How to breed red worms artificially?

1. Breeding method: The red worms in the breeding pond will generally lay eggs and reproduce in the spring of each year. At this time, fermented organic fertilizer should be regularly sprinkled into the pond to provide food for the red worms. After entering the summer, the pond water should be appropriately deepened. The water depth should be about 40-50cm. The red worms can be caught after they grow up.

2. Breeding method: Collect adults in late spring and early autumn during the day, collect them in the box in the evening and keep the temperature at 23-25℃, and the humidity should be maintained at 80-90%. After the adults lay eggs, the water level in the box should be 10cm, and there should be several small wooden sticks (2cm in diameter) for the adults to attach to facilitate egg-laying and reproduction.

3. How to breed red worms?

Here’s how

When breeding red worms, you should choose sludge with high organic matter content as the culture medium. First, cover it with water, and then add fertilizer and mixed feed. The temperature should be controlled at around 28 degrees, then you can arrange to introduce the species.

The density should also be controlled. It is appropriate to inoculate 500-750 grams per square meter of culture area. Usually, the red worms will enter the peak breeding period in about a month. 1 I. Breeding environment (1) You can prepare a larger glass container or open a small cement pool with a depth of 20-30 cm in a place where the sun is directly exposed to the sun. This can be used as a breeding pond to breed red worms. (2) The bottom of the breeding pond needs to be paved with silt. Red worms like fertile water. The water in the breeding pond can be raised with natural water. If tap water is used for breeding, the tap water needs to be placed in the sun for exposure and disinfection before use. (3) The breeding pond needs to be in an environment that is easy to keep warm and change water. The diameter of the container needs to be large to facilitate the red worms to float on the water surface to breathe. 2 II. Breeding management (1) Red worms like light. It is necessary to equip the breeding pond with a light source. Turn on the light at dark until the next day. If there is no light source in the dark, the red worms will not breathe in the water and will die due to lack of oxygen. (2) When feeding bloodworms, the water needs to be changed every day to ensure the water quality is fresh. The water depth of the breeding pond needs to be controlled at about 3-5 cm. The water depth can be slightly increased at night to achieve the purpose of keeping warm. (3) When changing the water for bloodworms, it is necessary to keep the bloodworms as warm as possible. The bloodworms and the container can be cleaned once to clean the mucus on the surface of the bloodworms and in the container to prevent bacteria from breeding in the mucus. (4) Bloodworms like to grow in a warm environment. The water temperature can be controlled at about 10-15℃. If the temperature is appropriate, the growth of bloodworms will be accelerated. 3. Feeding management (1) Bloodworms are omnivorous animals. Their main food is organic debris in sludge, poultry manure, domestic sewage, rice bran, etc. (2) In artificial breeding, rice bran, bird droppings, sludge, sugarcane bagasse, etc. can be fermented and fed to bloodworms. Yeast powder can also be soaked in water and fed. (3) When feeding bloodworms, you can use a small amount of feeding method multiple times. The feed is mixed with water and sprinkled in the breeding pond for the bloodworms to eat freely. Feed once every 3-4 days. When feeding, you need to pay attention to the amount of residual feed. If there is a lot of residual feed, you can feed relatively less feed. 4. Bloodworm breeding method 1. Bloodworms are the larvae of chironomids, which are bred by chironomids. The peak period of chironomid breeding is in late spring and early autumn.

2. Chironomids are afraid of light. You can collect adult chironomids during the day and place them in a prepared container. The temperature of the container needs to be maintained between 23-25 ​​degrees Celsius and the humidity between 80%-90% to facilitate chironomids to lay eggs.

4. 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.

5. How to raise red worms?

In the process of artificial breeding, the water depth is generally maintained at about three to five centimeters. Especially in spring, when artificial breeding is carried out, the water level can be slightly lowered. This method can effectively increase the water temperature. Deepening the water level at night can effectively keep warm.

Fertile water with a steady flow can allow red worms to reproduce in large numbers. At this time, you can place the silt and red worms together in a clean glass container and use some natural pure water for breeding. If you want to use tap water for breeding, you must place them under sunlight for two or three days before using them as reasonable breeding water. Change the water in time every day and take some very good warming measures.

Red worms mainly eat organic fertilizers and like some sour and sweet feeds. Generally, they need to be fed once every three days. One mu of land should be fertilized with more than 50 kg of fertilizer each time, and a certain amount of water should be added, and then sprinkled after sufficient stirring.

6. How do red worms reproduce?

1. Red worms like to live in fertile water with slow water flow. The late spring and early autumn every year are the seasons 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. When raising a small amount of red worms at home, you can take the river pond sludge together with the red worms 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. To prevent freezing in winter, place 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 air, because the red worms will float to the surface of the water 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. You can't turn off the light source 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 farms that mostly ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make feed.

When raising red worms at home, you can feed them with yeast powder soaked in water, but be sure to control the dosage.

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 reduced. In winter, when the red worms are not seen in the water tank, do not pour out the water in the tank, because they are lurking in the green algae.

7. How to raise and breed red worms at home?

In the natural environment, red nematodes mainly feed on bacteria, yeast, algae and organic debris (fragments of plants and animals). To artificially culture red nematodes, you must prepare the culture solution in advance. Take 4.5 kg of fertile soil (soil from the garden or vegetable garden) and 1 kg of straw (cut into 2 cm), pour them into a large tank, add 50 kg of water, stir thoroughly, place at 15-18℃ for 3-4 days, then filter with gauze. The filtrate is called the stock solution. Take a certain amount of the stock solution and pour it into another tank, then add 2-4 times the pond water, so that the culture solution is prepared. At this time, you can put a small amount of red nematodes into the culture solution, and keep the water temperature at 18-25℃. The red nematodes grow very fast and will multiply in large quantities to feed goldfish or other fish. In the process of cultivating red nematodes, add the stock solution at any time to ensure sufficient feed for the fish and worms.
