CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the risks of farming earthworms?

1. What are the risks of raising earthworms?

Raising earthworms is an industry and a technology, and like any other industry, there are risks. Natural and man-made risks may be encountered during the breeding process, as well as unknown technical factors. When setting up a company, the composition of personnel, even the sense of responsibility and work attitude are also risks; after producing qualified products, whether they are sold in the market properly and how to find the real demand market for the products may also be risky. Earthworms are a product, and earthworm manure is also a product. The scope of application is very wide, including breeding, organic fruits and vegetables, flowers, crops, ordinary or special breeding aquatic products, stone frogs, etc. So with so many industries that can be connected, which one do you do? When your strength cannot cover all, you will be successful if you do a good job in one area.

2. What are the 10 taboos of raising earthworms?

1) Too many earthworms will cause the soil to be too loose, and the earthworms' activities may loosen the roots of vegetables and cause them to become suspended in the air. At the same time, the sown seeds may not germinate successfully because of the earthworms.

(2) Earthworms may help spread weed seeds and pathogens.

(3) While earthworms improve nitrogen mineralization, they also easily cause nitrogen loss.

3. What are the ten major disadvantages of earthworm farming?

The disadvantages of earthworms are as follows

The harm caused by earthworms is that there is currently no real large-scale development of their uses. Many farmers are unable to sell the earthworms they raise, and the traffickers make money, while the farmers make no profit.

Earthworms can transmit four parasitic diseases to poultry:

Tracheoarthritis

A chicken farm fed chickens with Daping No. 2 earthworms. All 122 chickens became sick and 71 died. This was caused by the earthworms spreading tracheosyngamys disease.

Capillariasis

The worms parasitize in the esophagus or crop of chickens, causing malnutrition, emaciation, anemia, and in severe cases, death from exhaustion.

Heterakiasis

The worms parasitize in the cecum, causing indigestion, loss of appetite, diarrhea, emaciation, stunted development of chickens, and reduced egg production.

Taeniasis

The worms live in the duodenum of chickens, causing loss of appetite, indigestion, diarrhea, weight loss, and even neurological symptoms. These four parasitic diseases are all transmitted by earthworms.

4. What are the ten major dangers of raising earthworms?

The disadvantages of raising earthworms are as follows: There is a parasite that lives in the pig's body - pig lungworm. During the growth and development of its larvae, it parasitizes in the body of earthworms for a period of time.

Therefore, in areas where pig lungworms are prevalent, earthworms provide convenient conditions for the reproduction of this parasite. Live earthworms can easily spread diseases, such as tapeworms and asthma in pigs, and tracheosyngamy, capillariasis, heterotrichum and taeniasis in poultry.

5. Why do earthworms have high nutritional value but no one breeds them on a large scale?

Don't underestimate earthworms, they have so many uses! And the profits are very high~ I've also been wondering why no one is breeding them on a large scale? I guess the risk is probably due to temperature changes and climate change.

It's bad when the rainy season comes.

The weather is too hot, which is not a good idea.

If large-scale farming is carried out, large tracts of land are needed, and the land must be guaranteed to be unpolluted, so that the nutritional quality can be well controlled and it will be more valuable.

If the land is polluted, people will have to relocate.

This is just my personal opinion. What do you think?
