CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What is the best use of cockroach breeding? (What is the best use of cockroach breeding?)

1. What is the prospect of cockroach breeding?

The market prospect of breeding cockroaches is promising

When it comes to cockroaches, almost everyone wants to kill them. However, many people don’t know that there are people who specialize in breeding cockroaches, and they have good economic benefits.

1. Medicinal value

Artificially bred cockroaches, mainly the American cockroach species, are mainly sold to pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies in Asia. These companies purchase cockroaches because this species is a cheap source of protein and medicinal substances. Many common burn and gastroenteritis drugs on the market use polyols and peptides in the American cockroach, which are surface cell growth factors.

2. Rapid reproduction

Cockroaches are a tough species that once lived in the same era as dinosaurs. They have very strong vitality. Not only do they reproduce at an amazing speed, but they can also grow in a variety of environments. Generally speaking, they are easy to raise, which is a huge advantage for farmers raising cockroaches.

3. Expensive market price

The life cycle of cockroaches is about six to seven months in a suitable environment. They can be harvested twice a year, and the price of dried cockroaches is as high as 320 yuan per kilogram. Excluding the cost of raising cockroaches, the profit is considerable.

2. Economic benefit analysis of cockroach farming?

First, we need to clarify the current overview of the economic benefits of cockroach farming, secondly, we need to conduct a multi-dimensional comprehensive analysis of the main contents of the current overview of the economic benefits of cockroach farming, and finally write the analysis conclusions and conduct a comprehensive evaluation.

3. 10 ways to raise cockroaches?

1. Choose a container

To breed cockroaches, you first need to choose a container. Cockroaches are nocturnal animals and do not like light, so it is best to use a light-shielding container when breeding cockroaches. At the same time, friends living in rural areas will find that cockroaches generally appear more frequently in summer and less frequently in winter, so when choosing a container, you also need to choose a heat-insulating container.

2. Control the temperature

Cockroaches are animals that like warmth, so when breeding cockroaches, it is best to control the temperature above 20 degrees to allow the cockroaches to grow better. At the same time, when controlling the temperature for the cockroaches, you also need to pay attention to ventilation to avoid the cockroaches dying from lack of oxygen due to an overly hot environment.

3. Prepare food

Cockroaches are usually active between 9 and 11 p.m. every night, so it is best to provide food for cockroaches at night so that they can eat more food. At the same time, it is best to provide them with appropriate food, such as rice, apple cores, vegetables, etc.

4. Notes

Cockroaches are generally pests, so common insecticides on the market can kill cockroaches. Generally, when breeding cockroaches, it is necessary to avoid the presence of pesticides in the cockroach breeding environment to avoid causing the death of cockroaches. At the same time, animals such as mice and ants feed on cockroaches, so when breeding cockroaches, it is also necessary to help the cockroaches avoid natural enemies.

4. What is the prospect of cockroach breeding?

Cockroaches are mainly used for medicinal purposes. The market prospects are very good, and large-scale breeding is very profitable, but you must have excellent breeding technology in order to make money.

5. What is the use of raising cockroaches?

The cockroaches that are artificially bred for use are mainly the American cockroach species. These cockroaches are bred and sold mainly to pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies in Asia.

These companies buy cockroaches because they are a cheap source of protein and medicinal substances. Many of the common drugs on the market use extracts from American cockroaches.

6. Cockroach breeding technology and site construction?

1. Breeding site

Cockroaches are different from other animals. It is best to breed them in a relatively closed place to prevent them from escaping. Prepare a clay pot of suitable size, put some old newspapers or kraft paper rolls at the bottom, and hang drinking water and feed on the wall of the pot with iron hooks, and then cover the mouth of the pot with iron gauze and wooden boards.

2. Environmental factors

The humidity in the place where cockroaches live cannot be too low, generally it should be kept at around 70%, and they should be sprayed with water regularly to keep them moist. The temperature should not be too high, and it should be kept at around 28-33 degrees Celsius all year round. Keep away from noisy places, keep quiet, and the light should not be too strong. It is best to breed them in a dark room so that the cockroaches can grow normally.

3. Feed ratio

Cockroaches are omnivorous insects with strong digestive abilities and large appetites, so it is necessary to use nutrient-rich feed to supplement their nutrients. Mix corn meal, salt, stone powder, fish meal, lard, brown sugar, rapeseed cake, etc. and put them in the feeding trough, and make sure there is water in the trough at all times for the cockroaches to drink.

4. Prevent pesticides and pests

Cockroaches are very tenacious and reproduce quickly, but their resistance to agricultural pesticides such as Pesticide and DDT during the nymph stage is very low. They are prone to loss of appetite and even large-scale death. Therefore, pesticides must never be sprayed or applied near places where cockroaches are raised.

7. What do you think of the cockroach breeding project?

It can have medicinal value. It can also clean up kitchen waste, so the benefits are considerable.

1. What are the cockroach breeding techniques?

1. Clay pot breeding method: Choose a clay pot of appropriate size depending on the number of cockroaches to be raised, and place old newspaper rolls or kraft paper rolls in the pot for the cockroaches to live in. Cover the mouth of the pot with a wooden board, preferably a wire mesh. Put drinking water and feed in a fixed position so that the cockroaches can form a conditioned reflex and regularly go to the fixed position to eat. It is best to use a porcelain basin to put the feed in the pot, so that the leftover food will not fall to the bottom of the pot, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

2. Greenhouse breeding method: Use black plastic cloth to build a greenhouse, and leave screens at both ends for ventilation. In winter, you can use double-layer plastic film for insulation or heating with fire or electric heating. Leave a walkway in the center of the greenhouse. Put a feed trough and a water trough. To prevent cockroaches from falling into the water and drowning, you can put a sponge in the trough. Put some soft materials with gaps or foam boards for packaging eggs on both sides of the greenhouse, or you can put wooden breeding boxes. This method is suitable for large-scale breeding, with low investment and low cost, but it is not easy to catch adults.

3. Wooden box breeding method

① Breeding conditions: The specifications of the breeding box are 70 cm long, 50 cm wide, and 60 cm high, and the cover panel of the box is movable for operation. A small window of 20 cm long and 15 cm wide is built at the front and back, and sealed with iron mesh nails for easy observation and air circulation. There is no bottom plate under the breeding box, which is convenient for cleaning and hygiene. The breeding box is placed in a house with a relatively flat ground. Inside the box, a square wooden strip is nailed on the front and back sides 10 cm away from the box mouth to place a wooden frame. The wooden frame is "U" shaped, and its specifications are made according to the width of the breeding box. The two sides of the frame can be placed on the two wooden strips at the front and back of the box. The wooden frame is covered with paper, and then the wooden frames are stacked one by one in the breeding box to become a residence for cockroaches.

② Feeding and management: Select healthy cockroaches as breeding insects, place them in a breeding box, put in a small amount of feed, and initially feed them with green, juicy, nutritious fruit peels, bread, steamed buns, and rice. Provide sufficient clean drinking water, and feed once every 3 days. It is better to put the feed on the top of the wooden frame in the box, or on the floor at the bottom of the box, while drinking water can only be placed on the floor at the bottom of the box. Cleaning and sanitation work should be done once every 3 days. First, gently move the feed box, clean it, and move it back to its original position, then add feed and change water. Cockroaches lay eggs mostly on the wooden frame paper, and the larvae will hatch after more than a month of incubation.

8. What is the purpose of raising cockroaches?

1. Artificially raised cockroaches can be used as chicken feed

The American cockroach is a common large cockroach in Fuzhou. However, can you believe that grinding the American cockroach into powder can be used as chicken feed? The "Study on the Development and Utilization of American Cockroach Resources" led by Dr. Zhou Qiong and others from the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Science and Technology Information of the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences proposed that adding "cockroach powder" to chicken feed can improve the immunity of chickens. This research has passed the expert appraisal organized by the Provincial Department of Science and Technology.

There are many folk remedies in my country that use cockroaches as raw materials, and modern medicine has also used cockroaches to extract antibiotics. Dr. Zhou Qiong said: "Cockroaches live in dirty places but do not get sick because they have many immune active ingredients in their bodies." He said that by breeding American cockroaches on a large scale, drying and crushing them, and using 2% American cockroach powder instead of imported fish meal in broiler feed, the survival rate of broilers can be increased by at least 5%.

Regarding the question of whether cockroach powder is harmful to the human body, Dr. Zhou said that American cockroaches are rich in nutrients, including protein, amino acids, and other nutrients. The processed heavy metals such as lead and mercury, salmonella, total bacteria, and mold indicators can meet the feed hygiene standards. Common cockroaches carry germs and transmit diseases mainly because they often hide in sewers, garbage dumps, and other places. Artificially raised cockroaches will not have these problems.

Dr. Zhou introduced that cockroaches are omnivorous animals with very strong reproductive capacity. It is not difficult to breed cockroaches on a large scale. Using cockroach powder instead of imported fish meal as broiler feed will greatly reduce costs.

2. Artificially bred cockroaches can be used as medicine, but non-artificially bred cockroaches are pests and carry many viruses. Two thousand years ago, folk medicine used cockroaches as medicine to treat injuries and injuries. There have been studies on their use, which have been recorded and passed down to this day.
