CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the methods of breeding cockroaches? (What are the methods of breeding cockroaches?)

1. 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.

2. Can cockroaches be bred artificially? If so, how to raise them?

There are two types of cockroach farming:

1. Mixed breeding with earthworms 2. Mixed breeding of cockroaches and earthworms. In the practical operation of our farm, we found that there is not much conflict between cockroaches and earthworms, and they even have complementary advantages.

Cockroaches do not burrow into the soil. They just hide in the cracks of the walls of the pit house during the day and come out to look for food at night.

Earthworms burrow into the ground during the day and come out to look for food in the evening. In the process of raising earthworms, there will be feed that the earthworms cannot finish eating on the same day. These feeds are excellent food for cockroaches. In addition, the light, temperature and humidity in the earthworm breeding room are also extremely suitable for cockroaches. In our practice, we found that when the feed source is insufficient, adult cockroaches also prey on earthworm larvae. The solution is:

① During the day, keep the light in the breeding room at a certain level so that cockroaches cannot come out to look for food.

② When raising food, put some feed on the partitions of the earthworm pit to prevent cockroaches from starving and preying on earthworm larvae.

3. 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.

4. What is the correct way to raise cockroaches at home?

1. Insulation: Use greenhouse box cultivation method to maintain the temperature environment at 28-33℃ throughout the year.

2. Water conservation: Water is more important to cockroaches than food. Cockroaches will die if they are deprived of water for 2 days during the nymph stage. Therefore, water should be kept in the tank at all times.

3. Ensure food supply: In order for cockroaches to grow quickly, become strong and have strong reproductive capacity, the feed in the trough must not be cut off, especially at night, they must be allowed to eat enough.

4. Moisturizing: The relative humidity of the environment in which cockroaches live should be above 70%. If it is too dry, spray some water.

5. Keep quiet: Keep cockroaches away from noise and avoid human disturbance.

6. Keep dark: The place where cockroaches are raised should be dimly lit, and they should be raised in a dark room and dark box.

7. Prevent pesticide damage: Cockroaches are very sensitive to many pesticides such as pest control spirit, trichlorfon, dichlorvos, malathion, etc. It is forbidden to use pesticides in places where bees are raised.

8. Disease prevention: Disease prevention includes preventing cockroaches from getting sick themselves and preventing cockroaches from becoming hosts for other pathogens. Pay attention to the environment and food hygiene of cockroaches.

9. Prevent natural enemies: Rats, bats, ants, etc. all eat cockroaches. Pay attention to prevent natural enemies from invading during the breeding process.

5. How to keep cockroaches alive?

When it comes to cockroaches, everyone wants to kill them. People don't like cockroaches, but what you may not know is that cockroaches have great medicinal value and can reduce swelling and promote blood circulation.

Cockroaches do not like light and prefer to be active at night, preferring warm, quiet, and humid places. They are more active from 9 to 11 p.m., and become quieter at dawn. The dormant period for cockroaches is from November to early March of the following year. The peak foraging period is from May to September. Keep the environment for breeding cockroaches between 28°C and 33°C. Pay attention to the sealing of the breeding room, and place some foam grass and other materials that help maintain humidity and temperature around it. Do not use wooden doors and windows, and the space should not be too small, otherwise the cockroaches will have a low ability to reproduce and are prone to death.

2. Choose the cockroach species. The species of cockroaches to be raised should be selected mainly based on economic value, life cycle and life span.

Here are three recommended varieties:

1The Australian cockroach has a long life span and strong vitality, and can lay 20 to 30 eggs in its lifetime;

2 In addition to the above characteristics, the German cockroach also has strong adaptability.

3. The most prominent advantage of the American cockroach is its strong reproductive ability, and it can lay up to 60 eggs in its lifetime.

3 How to feed them. Cockroaches are actually very easy to feed. Fruits, vegetables, and wooden products are all good ingredients for feeding cockroaches. Generally, cockroaches come out to look for food at night, so try to feed them around 18:00. As for how much, it also depends on their appetite. There are also specific cockroach feeds here, which are made with corn flour, salt, fish meal, lard, brown sugar, etc., to ensure that cockroaches love to eat. They grow big and fat. When feeding, don't forget to keep the environment humid and warm, with plenty of food and a quiet place.

4. The production of cockroach feed. The production of cockroach feed is very simple, and it uses some common materials, mainly corn meal and other grains and oil crops.

5. Stay away from natural enemies of drugs. Although cockroaches are generally strong, they are still afraid of drug poisoning. So stay away from pesticides such as pest control, dichlorvos, and trichlorfon.

In addition, cockroaches will be eaten by mice and bats, so they must be kept away from these nemesis when breeding. In addition, cockroaches can also get sick, so to prevent the cockroaches from getting sick themselves, a good eating environment must be maintained. Prevent them from becoming hosts for other pathogens. The medicinal value of cockroaches is actually very high. If you want to breed cockroaches well, you must ensure the temperature of the environment, keep the light dark, and stay away from drugs and natural enemies such as mice during feeding. These are all things you must know when breeding cockroaches.

6. 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.

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.
