1. What are the costs and profits of breeding protein worms? What are the breeding conditions?

Many friends who fish or raise fish will come into contact with protein worms. Protein worms have many uses. They can be raised as natural food, with low cost and fast reproduction speed. When the bait has rich nutritional value, what are the costs and benefits of raising protein worms? Let's find out together.

The investment cost and profit return of protein insect farming are issues that farmers are very concerned about. Everyone hopes to obtain high economic benefits at a very high cost. The cost and benefits of breeding protein insects. Take the breeding of 100 kg of seed insects as an example. The breeding cost includes feed, seed insects, farms, labor and breeding equipment. The total cost is about 30,000 yuan.

Usually, 5,000 kilograms of commercial insects can be produced in one breeding year, so the total income from breeding is about 35,000 yuan. After deducting the breeding costs, the net profit is about 5,000 yuan, and the breeding profit is also increasing year by year. The profit of breeding protein insects can reach about 60%. The current market price is about 20 yuan per catty, and the cost price is about 0.65 to 0.8 yuan per catty. Five catties of bran worms can produce one catty of commercial insects, plus the price of vegetables is about six yuan, so the profit of breeding protein insects is still considerable.

What are the breeding conditions for protein worms?

1. Suitable temperature

Protein worms have poor cold resistance and are not resistant to high temperatures. When cultivating protein worms, if the room temperature is above 30 degrees or below 10 degrees, the protein worms will grow poorly. The water temperature in the aquarium is best maintained at 25-28℃, which is conducive to the reproduction and growth of protein worms.

2. Provide food

Protein worms are a type of worm. It is an omnivorous animal. It mainly feeds on organic debris and bacteria in the water. When breeding protein worms, you need to provide them with food with higher protein and energy content. Green vegetables and pellets for feeding or put live bait such as small fish, shrimp, rotifers, bloodworms, etc. in the aquarium.

3. Suitable environment

Protein worms are adapted to living in a dark environment. When cultivating protein worms, if they are exposed to strong light, they will die. It is best to place the aquarium in a semi-shaded environment to promote rapid egg laying by protein worms. Make sure the room is relatively closed so that a large number of bacteria will grow in the aquarium.

4. Special precautions

Protein worms like to live in turbid water. When cultivating protein worms, the water should not be changed frequently. It is best to keep the water in the aquarium in a dirty state without cleaning the filtration equipment, so as to provide nutrition and growth place for protein worms.

Breeding protein worms requires many conditions such as temperature, environment, and food. The profits are good and increasing year by year. The current market price is not bad and the cost is not high. The above is an introduction to the cost and profit of protein worm breeding and breeding conditions. I hope it can provide some help to friends who are interested in breeding.

2. Red worm breeding and reproduction methods, what conditions are required for red worm breeding

1. Breeding method: The red worms in the breeding pool will generally lay eggs and reproduce in the spring of each year. At this time, fermented organic fertilizer should be regularly sprinkled into the pool to provide food for the red worms. After entering the summer, the pool water should be appropriately deepened to a depth of about 40-50cm. When the red worms grow up, they can be caught. 2. Breeding method: Collect the adults in late spring and early autumn, collect them during the day, collect them in the evening, and keep the temperature at 23-25℃, and the humidity should be kept at 80-90%. After the adults lay eggs, the water level in the box should be 10cm, and there should be several small wooden sticks (2cm in diameter) for the adults to attach to facilitate their egg-laying and reproduction.

1. Red worm breeding and reproduction methods

1. Breeding methods

(1) In the spring of each year, red worms will lay eggs and reproduce in the breeding pond. At this time, it is necessary to frequently sprinkle fermented organic fertilizer into the pond water to ensure that the pond water has a relatively high fertility. The purpose is to cultivate some plankton for the newly born red worms to eat.

(2) After the red worms have lived a planktonic life, they will slowly switch to a benthic life. During this stage, they mainly feed on organic debris. At this time, fermented organic fertilizer can be regularly sprinkled into the pond.

(3) After entering the summer when the sunlight is strong, the pool water can be deepened appropriately to maintain the depth of the pool at about 40-50cm.

(4) When the red worms grow up, they can be caught. First, remove the large pieces of rotten grass and leaves in the pond and drain some of the pond water. Then, shovel out the bottom mud and use a sieve of appropriate size to sift out the silt. Then you can get the red worms.

2. Breeding method

(1) Late spring and early autumn are generally the peak breeding season for red worms (chironomid larvae), and adult worms can generally be collected during this period.

(2) When collecting, you can take advantage of the fact that adult insects are afraid of light. Collect during the day and store in boxes in the evening.

(3) After the collection is completed, keep the temperature in the box at 23-25℃ and the humidity at 80-90%.

(4) When the adults are laying eggs, the water level at the bottom of the box needs to be controlled at 10 cm, and several small wooden sticks with a diameter of 2 cm need to be placed in the box to provide the adults with something to attach to, so that they can lay eggs and reproduce.

2. What conditions are needed for red worm breeding?

1. Breeding environment

(1) For large-scale breeding, a culture pond can generally be used. The area is generally 1-100 square meters, the pond depth is generally about 50 cm, and the water depth is generally about 12-15 cm.

(2) For small-scale breeding, the bloodworms can generally be kept in a glass container of appropriate size together with the bottom mud and raised with natural water. It should be noted that large-diameter glass containers should be selected to facilitate the bloodworms to float to the surface to breathe.

2. Regulate water quality

(1) Red worms prefer micro-flow water environment, and the water flow rate should be between 5-10L/s. If the water flow is too large, it will easily consume the red worms' physical strength, which is not conducive to increasing production. If the water flow is too small, it will be difficult to discharge excrement, which will easily lead to water quality deterioration and cause death.

(2) Please note that because red worms are sensitive to pesticides and harmful substances, you should not use dirty water such as water sprayed with pesticides, industrial wastewater, etc.

3. Food

(1) The principle of feeding is to feed in small amounts and multiple times. In home breeding, you can generally soak yeast powder in water before feeding.

(2) Please note that you should not add too much food to avoid excessive organic matter in the water that will produce toxic substances after fermentation and affect the production of red worms.

3. How do you raise red snakes (red worms are also called red nematodes) at home? I want to raise a large number of them myself. Can someone give me some advice? Especially what do red nematodes eat? Thank you

The aquatic organism commonly known as red nematodes is also called water earthworms. Its dry matter protein content is as high as 70% or more, and it has a complete range of essential amino acids, rich in content, and has high nutritional value. In addition, feeding water earthworms does not pollute the water quality and is the best live bait for freshwater fish and ornamental aquariums. Do you want to raise them at home? Do you mean indoor breeding or digging a pit in the yard?
