CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Technical Specifications for Insect Farming (Latest Version of Technical Specifications for Insect Farming)

1. What are the correct methods and techniques for raising insects?

Using rice straw to raise insects

Dig a rectangular pit with a width of 0.6m and a depth of 0.3m at an appropriate location, cut the rice straw into 6cm long sections, boil it in water for 1-2 hours, remove it and pour it into the pit, cover it with 6-7cm thick sludge (ditch mud or pond mud, etc., the same below), garbage, etc., compact the sludge, and pour a basin of rice washing water every day. After about 8 days, worms will appear. Turn it over to let the chickens eat it, then cover it with sludge, etc., and pour rice washing water, and worms will continue to appear.

2. Use cow dung to breed worms

Add 10% rice bran and 5% wheat bran (or 0.1% wine cake powder) to cow dung, mix well, pile it in a cool place, cover it with weeds, straw, etc., seal it with sludge, and insects will grow after 20 days.

3. Use debris to breed insects

Mix fresh cow dung, weeds, manure and other materials that are easy to breed insects with water to make a paste, pile it into a pile of 1m high, 1.5m wide and 3m long, cover the top and sides of the pile with thin mud, and cover the top of the pile with grass to prevent drying. After 7 to 15 days, insects will grow.

4. Use wheat bran to breed insects

Pile two piles of wheat bran in the corner of the courtyard, and cover them with grass mud (a mixture of chopped grass and thin mud). After a few days, insects will be infested. Let the chickens take turns to eat them. After they have finished eating, gather the wheat bran and other materials together and pile them up, and cover them with grass mud again, which will cause insects to breed again.

5. Use pig manure to breed worms

For every 500kg of pig manure that is dried to 70%, add 20% fertilizer mud and 3% wheat bran or rice bran and mix well. Pile it into a pile, seal it with plastic film and ferment it for 7 days. Dig a 50cm deep pit, spread the above fermented material in the pit 30-40cm thick, cover it with grass, straw mats, sacks, etc., and keep it moist. After about 20 days, maggots, insects, earthworms, etc. will be born.

6. Use chicken manure to breed insects

Mix the fermented chicken manure with beer dregs or soy sauce dregs in a ratio of 4:1 and spread it on the floor with a thickness of no more than 17 cm and a water content of about 70%. Then put some rotten leeks, stinky fish, and rotten shrimp on it, and many maggots will be born in a few days. In addition, straw, bean dregs, bean cakes, etc. can also be used to breed insects.

2. Insect farming technology?

larva

Use a wooden box for breeding, 60 cm long, 40 cm wide, 3 cm high, put in a mixed feed 3-5 times the weight of the insects, and put the larvae in. Cover with various vegetable leaves to maintain a suitable temperature. When the feed is basically eaten up, sieve out the insect feces and add new feed. If you need to keep seeds, reduce the density of larvae, generally one box should not exceed 250 grams. The first few batches of larvae should be picked out in time to avoid being bitten. In the later stage, most larvae no longer eat, so there is no need to pick out pupae.

2. Pupa

Sprinkle wheat bran in the larval breeding box, cover it with appropriate amount of vegetable leaves, and place the pupae in to wait for them to emerge.

3. Adult

The specifications of the egg-laying box for adult mealworms are the same as those for larvae, except that the bottom of the box is inlaid with wire mesh. The holes in the mesh are so large that the adult insects cannot drill through. The four sides of the inner side of the box are inlaid with tinplate or glass to prevent the adult insects from escaping. A piece of paper or a piece of wood is placed under the wire mesh, and then 1 cm of mixed feed is sprinkled. A layer of vegetable leaves is covered to keep moisture, and then the hatched adults are put in to prepare for egg laying. Every 7 days, the board or paper under the egg-laying box is pulled out together with the bran and placed in the larval box to be hatched.

3. Northeast insect breeding technology?

1. Dry and mash the chicken manure, mix it with a small amount of rice bran and wheat bran, and then mix it with mud to make a pile, and cover it with straw or weeds. Make the top of the pile concave, pour sewage 1 to 2 times a day, and a large number of small maggots will appear in about half a month, and then drive the chickens to find food. After the maggots are eaten, pile the manure, and feed the chickens with maggots again after a few days. In this cycle, each pile can produce maggots many times.

2. Mix fermented chicken manure with beer dregs or soy sauce dregs in a ratio of 4:1 and spread it evenly on the floor with a thickness not exceeding 17 cm and a water content of about 70%. Put some rotten vegetable leaves, smelly fish and shrimp on it to attract flies to lay eggs. After a few days, many maggots will be born, and then the chickens will be driven to peck at them.

4. What are the methods and precautions for insect breeding?

Key technologies for raising insects: temperature, humidity, lighting time, and feed.

Temperature: The optimum temperature for most insects is 25 degrees, and it is generally best to control it at 20-30 degrees;

Humidity: The most suitable humidity for most insects is above 75%;

The lighting time is generally simulated in nature, that is, light: dark = 14 (hours) / 10 (hours)

Feed must be scientific, and work must be done to prevent mildew and disinfect it.

5. Flower, bird, fish and insect breeding techniques?

1. When raising fish and insects, prepare a container with a large area in contact with the air and ensure that there is light. You can usually feed fish and insects with yeast powder soaked in water, but the amount should not be too much, otherwise it will ruin the water quality. If there are too many fish and insects in the breeding tank, they need to be fished out in time, otherwise they will die of lack of oxygen.

2. When raising fish and insects, you need to prepare a container with a large area in contact with the air, which can ensure that the fish and insects have enough space to float to the surface to breathe, and also ensure that there is light source.

3. When feeding fish worms, you can use yeast powder soaked in water, but control the amount, not too much. Otherwise, the water quality will deteriorate and the fish and insects will die. You can change the water appropriately to ensure the cleanliness of the water.

4. If there are too many fish and insects in the breeding tank, they must be removed in time or replaced with a larger tank. Otherwise, the density of fish and insects will be too high, the fish and insects will lack oxygen, and even a large number of fish and insects will die.

6. What are the techniques for breeding green worms?

1. Facility construction

The breeding of green worms is generally carried out indoors, and different houses are selected or built according to the scale of breeding. If it is factory-bred, the factory building can be divided into several rooms, each room is equipped with wooden racks, each rack is divided into 3-4 layers, and each layer is about 50 cm apart. Several larvae breeding trays are placed on each layer. The size of the breeding tray depends on the breeding scale and management level.

2. Egg collection

Select larvae that are larger, stronger, and more vigorous to raise separately and allow them to pupate. When the pupae emerge, the adults can be moved one by one to the breeding tray and placed on the breeding tray. The larvae are raised in the breeding tray, and the sieve tray is placed on the tray for the pupae to hatch and the adults to lay eggs. A layer of white paper is laid on the bottom, and then compound feed is fed.

3. Temperature and humidity management

To breed green worms, you must have a breeding room. The breeding room should be ventilated and light-permeable, and have heating and heat preservation facilities in winter. The temperature inside the breeding room should be maintained between 15℃-25℃ in winter and summer, and the humidity should be 60%-70%. A thermometer and a hygrometer should be installed indoors. A thermometer should also be inserted in the center of the worm tray to measure the temperature.

4. Feeding

The feed is mainly wheat bran and green vegetables, including cabbage, radish, kale, potato and melon. Wheat bran can be replaced by a small amount of coarse cornmeal and rice bran. Generally, 1 kg of green worm can be raised for every 3 kg of wheat bran and 6 kg of vegetables.

5. Daily management matters

(1) Dead pupae and adults should be removed promptly to prevent them from rotting and spoiling, which would attract pathogens. The larval molts and feces should be screened out promptly to facilitate the timely addition of new ones.

(2) The egg-collecting paper should be replaced in a timely manner. Each time the egg-collecting paper is replaced, it should be placed in different boxes for incubation to avoid uneven sizes of the larvae.

(3) When mature larvae turn white, they are about to pupate. The pupae should be picked out in time to prevent them from being killed by the larvae. Since adults and larvae have the habit of killing each other, they should not be fed at high density.

7. Shuyang protein worm breeding technology?

1. Insect breeding equipment

When breeding protein worms, you need to prepare cardboard boxes and pots with smooth inner walls and a depth of more than 15 centimeters to prevent the worms from crawling out. When the protein worms lay eggs, you need to spread a layer of bran on the bottom of the egg-laying box to prevent damage to the young eggs.

2. Feed requirements

Protein worms have a wide range of food. In artificial breeding, they can be fed wheat bran, cornmeal, bean cakes, carrots, vegetable leaves, melon and fruit peels, etc. The food can be chopped into small pieces and fed once in the morning, noon and evening every day. In order to ensure balanced nutrition, special feed must also be provided.

3. Temperature requirements

Protein worms are relatively cold-resistant. The overwintering mature larvae can tolerate minus 2 degrees Celsius, while young larvae will die in large numbers at around 0 degrees Celsius. Therefore, when breeding protein worms, it is necessary to control the temperature, especially in winter, the temperature must not be lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

4. Pay attention to ventilation

In the daily breeding process of protein worms, good ventilation must be maintained, especially in summer when the indoor temperature is high. The container must be moved to a ventilated environment to avoid infection by diseases, which may cause the protein worms to become listless and die.

8. What are the techniques for breeding schisandra?

1. Breeding method

The nine-scented insect feeds on the juice of melon vines. Depending on the scale of breeding and the amount of food, it can be raised in small cages or in field nets. The following introduces these two breeding methods.

1.1 Small cage breeding. The breeding area is determined according to the width of the terrain and the scale of breeding. The breeding cage can be made of bamboo, wood or steel, and is 6 meters long, 5 meters wide and 2.5 meters high. The top and sides of the cage are tightly covered with nylon mesh. The size of the mesh should be such that young nymphs cannot escape. A small door is opened on one side of the cage for the breeder to enter and exit. Vine plants such as pumpkin, loofah, water melon and winter melon are planted in the cage for the nine-scented insects to absorb their juice as food. This breeding method is suitable for small-scale breeding.

1.2 Farming with nets in the field. The size of the net can be determined according to the actual situation of the breeding site. It is generally made into a shed with a length of 25 meters, a width of 10 meters, and a height of 3 meters. The top and sides are tightly covered with nylon mesh, and a small door is opened on one side for the breeding staff to enter and exit. Several nets can also be set up at the same time according to the amount of breeding. Various melon plants are planted in the shed for insects to eat.

2. Breeding methods

2.1 Stocking. When stocking, the captured adult nine-scented insects can be used as insect species, and 100 insects can be stocked per square meter. They are raised in cages or nets, and the entire breeding process of mating, egg laying, and hatching is completed in the cages and nets. Generally, no artificial management is required. However, in breeding, attention should be paid to the prevention of storm attacks after the nymphs are hatched, and wind barriers should be set up on the windward side to reduce the wind force, especially for 1-2 instar nymphs.

2.2 Strengthen the management of host plants. Plant enough melon plants, especially pumpkins, in the cage according to the amount of feeding. Strengthen the management of parasitic plants at ordinary times, frequently cultivate and weed, loosen the soil, add fertilizer, and water frequently to make them grow luxuriantly and have sufficient juice.

2.3 Overwintering management. The nine-scented insects overwinter as adults. From October to early November every year, the nine-scented insects gradually enter hibernation. At this time, a suitable overwintering place should be set up in the breeding cages and mesh covers. Generally, stone slabs or cement boards are placed in the cages and mesh covers, and a certain gap is left between the boards and the ground, allowing the adults to overwinter in the gaps of the stone slabs or cement boards. The ground should be kept moist, neither dry nor waterlogged. If it is too dry, water should be sprinkled to keep it moist, and drainage ditches should be opened around it to prevent rainwater from flooding. Straw can be appropriately laid on the board to keep it warm to prevent severe cold and allow the adults to safely spend the hibernation period. In addition, the nine-scented insects are sensitive to various pesticides, and care should be taken to prevent pesticide pollution around the breeding farm.

2.4 Disease and natural enemy control. ① Disease: Through observation of breeding, the nine-scented insect rarely suffers from diseases. Only a few nymphs were found to be infected with fungi and died. The pathogen has not yet been identified. Prevention and control methods: Always keep the breeding site clean and sanitary, and thoroughly disinfect the breeding site with 1%~2% formalin before the adults hibernate. ② Natural enemies: The main natural enemies of the nine-scented insect are ants and spiders. They often invade cages and nets and bite or eat the nymphs of the nine-scented insect. Prevention and control methods: If spiders are found in cages and nets, they can be caught manually; if ants are found, ant holes should be found immediately and blocked, lime should be spread around the cages and nets, or pig bones and other foods should be used to lure ants to gather and kill them. In addition, when choosing a breeding site, avoid ant holes (nests).
