1. Is it legal to breed cockroaches?

Cockroach farming is legal as long as it does not harm others

2. What is the market status 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.

3. Is cockroach farming a scam?

It's not a scam, it's a real project. As long as you have a market, breeding is definitely profitable because cockroaches reproduce very quickly and the investment is not large. People usually regard cockroaches as pests that spread diseases. If people find a cockroach farm nearby, they are likely to complain. This is why many cockroach farms in China are still operating in a secretive manner. People are unlikely to find facilities with the words "cockroach farm" or "cockroach factory".

Yet despite these risks and concerns, cockroach farming is still seen as a profitable business by many Chinese entrepreneurs.

4. What is the truth behind the American cockroach farming scam?

Well, the American cockroach has medicinal value. Many farmers, breeding companies and professional pharmaceutical factories have entered this field. Some pharmaceutical companies have obtained our country's GAP breeding certificate for breeding American cockroaches, such as Good Doctor Pharmaceutical Group.

5. 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.

6. Is it true that American cockroaches can be farmed?

Raising American cockroaches is fake. This is the biggest concern of many farmers when they start breeding. Raising American cockroaches is very adaptable to the development of the times, because American cockroaches are very valuable raw materials for medicines. In recent years, American cockroaches have been favored by more and more pharmaceutical companies.

However, with the rise of every type of breeding, it is inevitable that some lawless elements will take advantage of the originally very good projects to engage in illegal activities. Therefore, Guangxi Taitou Modern Agricultural Technology Group reminds all breeders to keep their eyes open and avoid being deceived. If the other party only has an office and a simple breeding room, and no other R&D and production qualifications, it can basically be judged as a shell company, so be careful, because such a company has no recycling capabilities.
