1. What is the cost of breeding cockroaches?

Zero cost, catch a big one, you can reproduce wirelessly

2. How much does a ton of dried cockroaches cost?

1. The market price of dried cockroaches varies. The cheap ones are sold at around 30 yuan per catty, the expensive ones are sold at 80 yuan, and the ones in the middle are mostly 45-50 yuan. The situation varies greatly. It depends on factors such as the place of origin and quality. 2. As for fresh and wet goods, it is very simple. How many catties can be dried into one catty, just divide it by a few. 3. Cockroaches are very good Chinese medicinal materials. They can stop bleeding, promote tissue regeneration, and heal wounds. The market is still good. The key is to learn the breeding techniques well.

3. Can sea cockroaches be kept in fish tanks?

Yes. No harm done.

Cockroaches are living high-protein insects, so fish naturally like to eat them. If implemented, it can save a lot of feed costs, and the fish can also grow very fast.

However, you should pay attention to whether the cockroaches died of bacterial infection. If the cause of death is unknown, it is recommended to handle it properly. Do not let the bacteria infect other breeding products.

If the cockroaches die due to normal reasons, they can be fed to fish. It is best to feed them some carnivorous ones. Catfish is also good, it eats everything.

If the death is not abnormal, it is recommended to find out the cause and not feed the fish to avoid unnecessary losses.

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

The cockroach market will develop steadily within 10 years.

The prospects for breeding cockroaches are good. In my country, the most common cockroach species that are worth breeding are the American cockroach, the Australian cockroach and the German cockroach. They are distributed in all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in my country, and are especially numerous on rural earthen stoves. They are known among the people as tea-loving lady, fragrant lady and oil-stealing lady.

Cockroaches are a kind of "good medicine for the world". There are special entries on "cockroaches" in pharmacopoeias such as "Famous Doctors' Records", "Tang Materia Medica", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Supplement to Compendium of Materia Medica". Modern medical experts believe that cockroaches are cold in nature, salty in taste, and have the effects of dispersing blood stasis and detoxifying. They are clinically used to treat acute gastroenteritis, ascites, infantile malnutrition, sores, swelling and poison, etc. They can be dried and ground into powder for oral administration or decoction, or they can be crushed and applied externally.

Dried cockroaches have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. With the development of medicine, their extracts are being used by more and more medical institutions to develop and make various medicines. At present, the price of dried cockroaches in the medicinal material market has risen from 28 yuan per kilogram to about 100 yuan per kilogram. The protein content in dried cockroaches is 60% to 70%, which is an excellent bait for geckos, frogs, centipedes, pheasants, toads, silver hairtails, etc. It is reported that in recent years, due to the vigorous development of precious aquatic products and rare animal breeding in Malaysia and my country, a large number of cockroaches are needed as bait, so cockroaches are in short supply and the price is high.

5. What is the purpose of raising cockroaches?

1. Artificially raised cockroaches can be used as chicken feed

The American cockroach is a common large cockroach in Fuzhou. However, can you believe that grinding the American cockroach into powder can be used as chicken feed? The "Study on the Development and Utilization of American Cockroach Resources" led by Dr. Zhou Qiong and others from the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Science and Technology Information of the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences proposed that adding "cockroach powder" to chicken feed can improve the immunity of chickens. This research has passed the expert appraisal organized by the Provincial Department of Science and Technology.

There are many folk remedies in my country that use cockroaches as raw materials, and modern medicine has also used cockroaches to extract antibiotics. Dr. Zhou Qiong said: "Cockroaches live in dirty places but do not get sick because they have many immune active ingredients in their bodies." He said that by breeding American cockroaches on a large scale, drying and crushing them, and using 2% American cockroach powder instead of imported fish meal in broiler feed, the survival rate of broilers can be increased by at least 5%.

Regarding the question of whether cockroach powder is harmful to the human body, Dr. Zhou said that American cockroaches are rich in nutrients, including protein, amino acids, and other nutrients. The processed heavy metals such as lead and mercury, salmonella, total bacteria, and mold indicators can meet the feed hygiene standards. Common cockroaches carry germs and transmit diseases mainly because they often hide in sewers, garbage dumps, and other places. Artificially raised cockroaches will not have these problems.

Dr. Zhou introduced that cockroaches are omnivorous animals with very strong reproductive capacity. It is not difficult to breed cockroaches on a large scale. Using cockroach powder instead of imported fish meal as broiler feed will greatly reduce costs.

2. Artificially bred cockroaches can be used as medicine, but non-artificially bred cockroaches are pests and carry many viruses. Two thousand years ago, folk medicine used cockroaches as medicine to treat injuries and injuries. There have been studies on their use, which have been recorded and passed down to this day.

6. What are the costs and profits of cockroach breeding?

American cockroaches are large in size, have medicinal and edible value, and are increasingly expensive, making for considerable profits. The gross income per square meter is around 1,000. The breeding environment requires insulation, moisture retention, and ventilation. The initial investment may be relatively high. It is recommended that you buy some relevant books or check online. It is best to understand the local market environment and see if there are any distributors purchasing them. If there are special purchasers, and there are relatively few people breeding them in your area, if you can succeed, it will be a way to get rich. I wish you success in your business!
