CATDOLL : CATDOLL: A complete collection of cockroach breeding methods and techniques (video of cockroach breeding methods and techniques)

1. What materials are needed for cockroach breeding?

1. First of all, you need a storage box (or various similar containers with smooth sides so that cockroaches cannot escape), the size of which can range from thirty to fifty centimeters to larger, depending on the number of cockroaches to be raised.

2. Then you need an egg cage and egg tray. This thing is used to increase the breeding space. Dubia cockroaches like to live under stones, dead wood, bark and other objects on the surface. Egg cages can provide a sense of security. The egg cage structure is suitable for stacking, which increases a lot of breeding space. At the same time, the egg cage can absorb water and play a role in regulating humidity.

3. Then it is super simple to put the egg cage in the storage box. This is much simpler than putting the elephant in the storage box. There are three strategies: I. Put it horizontally in the storage box. Put more layers to make it easier to observe. You can open it and see what is inside. II. Put the egg cage vertically in the storage box. It is said that this can provide more space and is suitable for breeding with a relatively high density. III. Combining the two is a good strategy.

4. There is also a non-essential service - drinking water. Since I carefully raise cockroaches so that they can get enough water from the food, I don’t have drinking water facilities. If you friends are too busy with military affairs or have no intention of showing kindness to cockroaches, you can choose to purchase drinking water facilities.

5. The water outlet of the bird water bottle sold in the bird market should be filled with cotton to prevent the small cockroaches from drowning.

6. Finally, let's talk about the bedding. Now there is a view that dry feed such as cat and dog food, tropical fish feed or oats should be placed on the bottom of the breeding container as bedding.

2. How to get into cockroach breeding?

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.

3. Breeding techniques for water cockroaches?

1. Breeding environment

1. The farm should be far away from the factory and in a pollution-free place, and the water should be clean and non-toxic.

2. The water depth must be 0.5-1 meter, and it cannot be directly exposed to the sun. There must be aquatic plants in the water and anti-fly nets must be installed on the water surface.

2. Site Construction

1. You can choose fish ponds, pools or water tanks, but make sure they are pollution-free.

2. The pool can be made of bricks with an area of ​​about 5 square meters. The water depth is controlled at 0.5-1 meter, and 200-300 fish can be raised per square meter.

3. Seedling selection

1. You can purchase seedlings from seed supply departments with guarantees and technical guidance.

2. You can also catch water cockroach larvae in the wild during spring and summer.

Insect breeding.

4. Breeding management

1. Bait

(1) Water cockroaches are mainly carnivorous, but they also eat plants. Their feed mainly consists of corn flour, rice bran, and sweet fruits.

(2) They can also be fed crushed snails, dead fish and shrimp, and livestock waste.

2. Feeding: Feed once a day in the evening, the feeding amount is 7-8% of body weight, and the quality and freshness of the food must be guaranteed.

3. Management

(1) The breeding cycle of water cockroaches is 8 months. They are mainly fed with meat in the first 3 months and mixed feed in the last 5 months.

(2) Water cockroaches do not have high requirements for water quality, but if the water is too turbid, the water needs to be changed in time.

4. How to harvest cockroaches after they mature?

For artificially bred cockroaches, a recycling collection method can be adopted, because nearly 50% of their eggs are produced in crevices and cannot be collected manually, and these eggs are sufficient for self-reproduction and development.

Old and weak cockroaches will die on the breeding platform, and some of them can be collected when cleaning up the remaining feces and food. After feeding, smooth basins are placed on each layer of the feeding platform. The cockroaches are hyperactive, so many of them fall into the basins during their activities at night. The next day, you only need to pour these cockroaches of different sizes into a 0.8 cm wire mesh cage, and the young cockroaches will crawl out of the mesh. Take the big cockroaches in the wire mesh cage out of the pit room and put them into the water for 3-5 minutes to drown the cockroaches.

When harvesting, use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the adult cockroaches, but this method is likely to suck up the larvae as well. If the young cockroaches are sucked up by the vacuum cleaner, they will not survive. This method is only suitable for pits with too high a breeding density. 3.8-4.2 kg of fresh cockroaches can be dried to make 1 kg of dried products. The dried products must be dried as a whole when stored and sealed with aluminum phosphide.

6. What is the best way to breed cockroaches?

Wooden box feeding and raising method.

The specifications of the breeding box are: 70 cm long, 50 cm wide, and 60 cm high. 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 it is 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 (preferably a cement floor). 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 in the front and back of the box. The wooden frame is covered with paper (the thicker the better), and then the wooden frames are stacked one by one in the breeding box (leaving an empty space at one end for feeding and watering), which becomes a residence for cockroaches.

Choose healthy cockroaches as breeding insects, place them in a breeding box, put in a small amount of feed, initially feed with green and juicy, nutritious fruit peels, bread, steamed bread, rice, provide sufficient clean drinking water, 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 bottom of the box, while drinking water can only be placed in the box. Cleaning and sanitation work is 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 wooden frame paper, and the larvae will hatch after more than a month of incubation.

8. What are the latest policy regulations on cockroach breeding?

The country does not subsidize the breeding of cockroaches, but it does subsidize the breeding of poultry such as beef cattle, pigs, aquatic products, dairy cows, and sheep.

Cockroach farming is a lucrative business in China. Unlike traditional animal farming, it is cheap to build a small cockroach farm. In addition, cockroaches reproduce quickly, rarely get sick, and do not have any special dietary requirements, as long as there is food waste.

9. How to make farmed cockroaches bigger?

The eggs are narrow and long, milky white, translucent, and arranged in two neat rows in the egg sheath. The embryo heads toward the slit. When hatching, the nymph pushes upward, causing the closed egg sheath to split and escape.

2. The nymph stage of cockroaches: The nymphs that have just hatched from the egg sheath gather around the egg sheath and are white. Later, the color gradually darkens and they spread out and move around. The nymphs are similar in shape to adults, but they are small, wingless, and their sexual organs are immature. Nymphs develop slowly. They must undergo multiple moltings and gradually grow up. The number of antennae and cerci also increases with age.

After the nymph molts for the last time, it grows wings and emerges as an adult.

Newly molted nymphs and newly emerged adults are also white, and the color gradually darkens. 3. Adult stage of cockroaches: Male and female adults can be easily distinguished by their external appearance:

A: The male cockroach has two pairs of appendages at the end of its tail, one pair is segmented cerci, and there is also a pair of tiny spicules (abdominal spines); the female cockroach has only one pair of appendages at the end of its tail, namely the cerci, and no spicules.

B: Male cockroaches are generally thin and slender, while female cockroaches are plump and wide.

C: In a few species, the male cockroach has well-developed wings that extend to the tip of the tail, but the female cockroach's wings only cover the front half of the abdomen, or are wingless.
