CATDOLL : CATDOLL: A place dedicated to raising cockroaches

1. Are there people raising cockroaches in Heze City, Shandong Province?

Yes, Shandong Jinan Luming Ecological Breeding Farm is a high-tech large-scale special breeding enterprise with modern bioengineering, special medicinal breeding and medicinal plant resource development as its core, integrating scientific research, breeding, training, promotion, technical services, production, sales, import and export trade. It has a fully enclosed biological base of nearly 50,000 square meters and has established a good reputation on the road of driving the masses to get rich. Shandong Luming Ecological Breeding Farm is the world's largest joint breeding base for earthworms and American cockroaches. It has attracted the attention of the world.

2. How much does it cost to invest in cockroach breeding?

Equipment cost: 90,000 yuan, first batch purchase cost: 45,000 yuan, advertising cost: 10,000 yuan, working capital: 100,000 yuan, total investment cost: more than 279,000 yuan. At present, 100 million cockroaches can process 5 tons of garbage every day. The breeding scale depends on the local daily garbage production, especially the number of restaurants. The industry now breeds "American cockroaches", an insect that moves actively. This insect is very orderly and we rarely see it. After having food, it will eliminate them neatly and quickly."

3. Is there anyone breeding cockroaches in China? What are the prospects?

The application range of cockroaches is particularly wide. Cockroach extracts are used in pharmaceutical products and research and development; cockroaches are used in the cosmetics industry because of their unique substances; it is reported that in recent years, Malaysia and my country have vigorously developed the breeding of precious aquatic products and rare animals, requiring a large number of cockroaches as bait, so cockroaches are in short supply in the market. At present, cockroaches have become a new business opportunity for many people to get rich.

Although the breeding of cockroaches is relatively simple, if you can fully master the breeding methods, it will definitely reduce your costs and thus increase your profits. Let's take a look at what we should pay attention to when breeding cockroaches.

Cockroach breeding tips:

1. Choose the type of cockroach to raise. There are many species of cockroaches, including American cockroaches, Australian cockroaches and German cockroaches. Among them, American cockroaches are a good choice. This type of cockroach is large in size, has a strong reproductive capacity, is not picky about food, and is a good species for artificial breeding.

2. Pay attention to the breeding form. Cockroach breeding can be roughly divided into two breeding forms, one is mixed breeding with earthworms, and the other is cockroach breeding and mixed breeding with earthworms. The two forms are different. Through practice, it is found that there is not much conflict between cockroaches and earthworms, and they can even produce complementary advantages. When raising earthworms, they will have feed that cannot be eaten on the same day, and these feeds are excellent food for cockroaches, which is beneficial to the production of cockroaches.

3. Environmental factors. Entrepreneurs who raise cockroaches should pay great attention to the airtightness of the house. To prevent cockroaches from escaping from the gaps, they should choose a flat-roofed house, plaster it with cement, and fill the cracks.

4. 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.

5. Where can I buy dried cockroaches?

To purchase cockroaches, go to the Chinese medicinal materials market and you will find that there are many demands. As for the cockroach breeding technology, you can consider going to a professional breeding farm to learn, for example, Anhui Bozhou Tianyu Earthworm Cockroach Breeding Base; Hunan Yueyang City Pingjiang County Sanyang Township Xingyang Village Large Earthworm Cockroach Breeding Base

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 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.

8. 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.

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

Artificial breeding of cockroaches has just begun in China. According to experts' prediction, the market will develop steadily within 10 years. At present, breeding cockroaches has become a new thing. Cockroaches that were hated by everyone have now transformed themselves into huge wealth. The contribution of this discovery to mankind is a miracle created by Professor Li Shunan, director of the Yunnan Dali Regional Institute of Pharmacology. A few years ago, Li Shunan noticed that an old man of the Bai nationality used cockroaches as medicine to cure a patient who had suffered from bone tuberculosis for many years. This aroused his interest in the medicinal value of cockroaches. After decades of research, Li Shunan finally separated the effective ingredients in cockroaches one by one, developed them into Chinese medicine preparations, and obtained national patent certificates and new drug certificates. According to the ancient "Pharmacopoeia" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", cockroaches are mainly used to treat: congestion, hard cold and heat, breaking up accumulation, throat obstruction, abdominal cold and childlessness, promoting blood circulation, and eating to relieve gas. In modern medicine, according to experts, the antibodies in cockroaches have a significant killing effect on cancer cells, and their extracts are promoted and applied to various types of cancer treatment by modern medical institutions. The protein content of dried cockroaches is 60%-70%, which is a good food attractant for fish. Cockroaches also have a strong ability to repair tissues. For many difficult-to-heal wounds, just drop his "Kangfuxin" cockroach medicine (extracted from the cockroach body) and they will be completely cured. Due to the miraculous efficacy of cockroaches, major pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers that use medicinal insects to make products are scrambling to order dried cockroaches.
