If you want to breed centipedes, what do you need to pay attention to when raising them?

It is necessary to pay attention to the density of breeding, to choose healthy centipedes, to do a good job of ventilation and ventilation, to choose high-quality feed, but also to deal with the cleanliness and hygiene of the venue, and to prescribe the right medicine after the problem.

The insect body should be intact and undamaged; The body color should be fresh and the back should be shiny; The activity is normal, it can feed, and it can also select centipedes with a body length of more than 10 cm as breeding objects. If the sex of the breeding object can be identified, the general ratio is 3 females to 1 male.

In the process of breeding, we should learn professional breeding techniques, and then we should also choose the right farm, and we should also pay attention to environmental problems, maintain the appropriate temperature, maintain the humidity of the air, and pay attention to the selection of feed.

1. Box cultivation method.

Feeding soil is stacked with internal layout. The thickness of the feeding soil of the box culture method is 10 cm, at the same time, each breeding box is equipped with a number of arc-shaped tiles, the tiles are washed clean and absorb enough water, 4 5 pieces are placed around the inner wall of the box in stacks, and the stacked tiles are cushioned with sponge strips about 2 cm thick between each layer for centipedes to inhabit. There are no tiles in the middle of the box, and this is where the centipedes feed and move.

The advantages of this breeding method are: the equipment is simple to make, convenient to arrange, flexible, space-saving, and can be moved and transferred. The disadvantages are:

It is difficult to maintain a stable humidity in the feeding soil, which is greatly affected by the environment, and it is difficult to maintain the most suitable ecological environment required by centipedes, and is only suitable for breeding commercial centipedes.

2. Tank cultivation method.

The tanks used to breed centipedes can be glass or clay tanks. The volume of the cylinder should not be too large or too small, and it is generally advisable to have a bottom diameter of 50 cm and a height of about 30 cm. At the bottom of the tank, a layer of coarse sand and gravel is laid, and then a layer of feeding soil about 10 cm thick is laid on the sand and gravel, and then arc-shaped tiles are stacked on the edge of the inner wall of the tank on the breeding soil, and an open space is left in the middle for centipedes to move and feed.

The thickness of the tile stack is not limited, but the upper layer of the top tile is 10 15 cm lower than the cylinder port. Between the stacked tiles, a sponge strip about 2 cm thick is padded, and the cylinder mouth is covered with a gauze to prevent centipedes from escaping.

However, the tank culture method is only a stopgap measure or a small-scale culture adapted to local conditions. There is a big disadvantage of the tank culture method: its ventilation is poor, the bottom is easy to accumulate water, easy to breed fungi, so that centipedes have metarhizome disease, special attention should be paid to control the humidity of the feeding soil, and timely replacement of the feeding soil.

3. Pond cultivation method.

This is a method employed by most centipede farmers. With the advancement of technology, the pond cultivation method is constantly improving from the structure of the pond to the layout of the pond. There are two types of pond culture: indoor pond culture and outdoor pool culture.

Outdoor pond culture does not need to build a house, the cost is low, and it is also conducive to maximizing the use of natural ecological conditions, grasping the best growth and development season of centipedes, and quickly promoting the growth and reproduction of centipedes. The indoor pond culture method is conducive to management, and at the same time, it is conducive to artificially creating the best ecological conditions for centipedes, prolonging the growth period of centipedes, shortening the non-productive period of hibernation, and is also conducive to controlling natural enemies and diseases, and maximizing productivity. Indoor farming should be based on simple houses according to local conditions.

However, regardless of outdoor or indoor pond culture, the structure of the pool is basically similar to the internal layout.

Of course not, there are many breeding methods. For example, it can be potted, boxed, pitted, pooled, and racked.

Of course not, fodder farming, meat farming, wild farming, spawning and hatching, molting and growth and development, these are all methods.

1. Do a good job of preventing escape.

Centipedes are myriapeds with strong climbing ability, and the pond must be inlaid with glass walls, and the cage must be closed with nylon nets.

2. Must be fed regularly.

Artificially bred centipedes are fed in groups, and if they are not fed regularly, centipedes will eat each other due to hunger, causing huge losses. Earthworms and mealworms are both food that centipedes love to eat and must be fed once a night.

3. Do a good job in the isolation and reproduction of centipedes in labor.

Before the female centipede lays her eggs, it must be separated from the rearing pond in time. After the baby centipede hatches, they should be raised separately according to the size of the size in time, because centipedes have the characteristics of eating young pups, and they will be eaten up if they are not good.

4. Control humidity and temperature.

If you are feeding indoors, always be aware of changes in humidity and temperature. If the humidity is too low, the centipede is easy to dry up and die, and in summer, the high temperature and high humidity of the centipede are also easy to die, and the humidity is between 60-70%. If the temperature is too high, it should be ventilated and dissipated in time, and if it is lower than -5, it should be heated appropriately.

Centipede breeding needs to pay attention to disease prevention, I have raised centipedes for many years, and there is technical knowledge of centipede breeding in space, and the origin of the acquisition market. The location of the national Chinese herbal medicine market, you can go and take a look.

Seedling selection, breeding pond selection and construction, daily management, humidity and temperature control, natural enemy prevention and so on.

The first drainage, the second escape, and the third feeding ......

1. Five key points for raising centipedes:

1.Under natural conditions, centipedes generally inhabit hillsides, fields, roadsides or overgrown places, or inhabit wells, firewood piles and crevices in bricks and tiles, and especially prefer damp and old ground. The basic characteristics of the activity are that it is diurnal and nocturnal.

Fasting occurs when the temperature is below 10 and hibernation begins at minus 7.

2.Centipede is a typical carnivore, with a wide range of eating habits, especially like to eat all kinds of insects, such as mealworms, crickets, beetles, termites, cicadas, dragonflies, spiders, flies, bees and their eggs, pupa, larvae, etc., and also eat insects, earthworms, snails and various livestock, poultry and aquatic animals meat, internal organs, blood, cartilage, etc., also eat fruit skins, potatoes, carrots, tender vegetables, etc., milk, bread and other food for centipedes.

3.Artificially cultivated centipedes can be used in tanks, ponds, etc., using jars, using dilapidated clay jars or ceramic jars, preferably with a diameter of more than meters, buried in the soil about 20 cm with the mouth facing down, and the soil outside is patted solid. The middle of the cylinder is built up with bricks or adobe, which is about 10 cm lower than the cylinder surface, and there is a certain gap between the billet and the cylinder wall.

If you use an intact cylinder, don't knock off the bottom, just build adobe directly in the cylinder. A tank with a diameter of 80 cm can hold about 200 adult centipedes. Pay attention to the feeding density, which must be fed in groups and pools according to the changes in the body length and size of centipedes.

4.To prevent centipedes from escaping, centipedes are impatient, and if the precautions are not in place, centipedes can easily escape. Manage temperature, humidity, and light to keep the environment quiet.

Observe often to prevent centipede predators from entering the breeding pond. Prevent mildew in food and soil, and remove diseased centipedes in time.

5.The lifespan of centipedes is only 6 years, and after sexual maturity, they generally mate in the early morning after the rain in March-May and July-August, and begin to lay eggs in 40 days, and the female centipede produces fertilized eggs on her back in order to hatch in time. Each female centipede ovulates for 2-3 hours at a time, laying 80-150 eggs each time.

The surface of the egg is rich in mucus, and the egg grains stick together to form an egg mass. During hatching, the female centipede does not eat or drink until the young centipede hatches.

Breeding centipedes should pay attention to the virus damage that the centipede itself may suffer. On the other hand, farmers should prevent poisoning from centipede stings.

1.Protection of centipedes from diseases: due to poultry.

Mouse. Skinks and others will eat centipedes. Ants, in particular, are the main natural enemies of centipedes.

Therefore, it is necessary to constantly observe the appearance of centipedes, such as harmless insects inside and outside the field. Prevent these predators from entering the pond and attacking centipedes. Prevent ants from entering the pool.

You can use cockroach chalk to draw a few more circles around the pool. Or take mothballs. Mix one part vegetable oil and five parts sawn together and mix well.

This powder is then often sprinkled with a circle of medicine thread on the outer wall of the rearing tank. Especially if you are molting or laying eggs. Centipedes are very resistant during the hatching period.

It is easy to be bitten to death by ants. Once an ant enters the pool. The centipede should be moved as soon as possible.

Scald the ants with boiling water.

A centipede infected with Metarhizium aeruginosa. Small black dots appear on the epithelia of some joints. Later, the infiltration expands slightly.

Causes centipedes to lose their appetite. Sluggish action. Finally emaciated and died.

Therefore. Centipedes found to have this disease should be quickly picked out and raised. Pour out all the soil in the sick tank (indoor tank culture).

Exposure disinfection. Replace it with new soil and put healthy centipedes. And use a small amount of chloramphenicol tablets to grind and mix bait to feed the diseased centipedes.

as well as improving the conditions of ventilation, or. The centipedes raised in outdoor ponds were transferred and replaced. Feeding medicine to eliminate diseases.

And disinfect the original pond soil. Sprinkle lime powder to sterilize the cleaning. Wire worms are parasites in centipedes.

Most of them are caused by feeding large green locusts. Therefore, attention should be paid to the selection and matching of feed types. Meantime.

Do not use pesticides in the feed used. To prevent centipedes from being poisoned or diseased and hindering the reproduction of centipedes. Since centipedes have big and eat small.

The strong eat the weak. A habit of killing each other. It occurs mainly in water scarcity.

In the case of lack of food or when the female centipede is disturbed during the hatching period. Therefore, in addition to the feeding management measures, attention should be paid to. They should also be kept in pools according to the size of the individuals.

Individuals found to have molted skin are immediately separated.

2.Keepers to prevent poisoning from centipede stings: Keepers should use small shovels or other agricultural tools to turn over the upper blocks or gravel when catching centipedes.

Centipedes are quickly made of iron when they are found. A special bamboo clip catches centipedes. Prevent being poisoned by its stings.

If you are accidentally stung while catching. The poison juice can be squeezed out first, depending on the situation. Then use the following methods**

1) Apply the juice of the salt skin wood to the abrasion, 2) Roll salt with yellow straw paper and ignite it. Blow the soot onto the affected area from the other end of the paper roll, 3) smear the wound with ammonia or toilet water, 4) rub the wound with egg whites or rooster saliva, 5) use a snail. Slugs. Rub the mucus from the earthworm's body, 6) with cool oil, 7) with garlic juice. Mulberry juice mixed with white salt, 8) mashed with shredded cigarette and mixed with tea oil, 9) smashed with fresh live centipede mixed with tea oil to wipe the affected area, 10) sliced with alkaline water or shallots applied to the wound.
