Preventive measures for common diseases of cultured scorpion

1. Spot mildew, also known as scorpion lice disease, mostly occurs from June to August, often caused by humid environment, high air humidity, and food mildew, and most of the pathogens are green mold fungi. In the infected scorpion, yellow-brown or reddish-brown spot mildew spots often appeared in the chest and abdomen in the early stage and gradually expanded into pieces; then the scorpion lost appetite and stopped growing; in the later stage, the action was sluggish and finally died because of refusing to eat. Dissection shows that the body is full of green moldy hyphae gathered into a mass. Prevention and treatment: give priority to prevention, and properly regulate air humidity to eradicate pathogens. ① food plates and water plates are washed frequently to eliminate moldy food; ② disinfects the culture area with 1%-2% formalin or 0.1% potassium permanganate aqueous solution; ③ scorpions should be isolated and treated, and dead scorpions should be picked up and burned in time; ④ scorpions are fed with oxytetracycline 18 or chloramphenicol 1 g or long-acting sulfonamide 1 g 1.5 g mixed with 1000 g compound feed until cured.

2. Black rot, also known as body rot, can generally occur throughout the year, with a short course of disease and high mortality. The disease is mainly caused by feeding rotten feed, polluted drinking water or accidentally eating black rot scorpion corpses infected with black mold fungi. Scorpion early abdominal swelling, black, little activity, loss of appetite; then black rot ulcer in the front abdomen, hand pressure can flow out black mucus, and eventually die. Prevention and treatment: ① keep feed and drinking water fresh; ② regularly disinfect the culture area with 1%-2% formalin aqueous solution; ③ disease scorpion should be isolated and treated, dead scorpion should be picked up and burned; ④ disease scorpion can be fed with 1g mother diet, 0.5g erythromycin or 2.5g sodium bicarbonate, 0.5g sulfonamide tablets or 2.5g rhubarb soda, 0.5g oxytetracycline and 500g compound feed until the disease is cured. ⑤ can be treated with Chinese herbal medicine gallnut with a daily dosage of 0.2g and 0.5g per kilogram of body weight. 3. Hemiplegia, also known as tailing disease, often occurs in late summer and early autumn when the air is wet. Due to long-term feeding of high-fat diet, scorpion body fat accumulates a lot. The body of the scorpion was bright, the segments enlarged, the movement was difficult and slow, and there was red fatty mucus in the mouthparts, which began to die 5 or 10 days after the onset of the disease. Prevention and treatment: ① does not or less feed feed with high fat content; ② appropriately adjusts ambient temperature and humidity; ③ treatment can take fasting for 3-5 days or use rhubarb soda tablets 3g, wheat bran (fried incense) 50g, water 60g, mix well until cured. 4. Abdominal distension disease scorpions often occur in the early spring and autumn periods of continuous rain, due to low temperature, scorpions catch cold, resulting in indigestion. The scorpion had large blue veins, slow response and loss of appetite, and began to die 10-15 days after onset. Prevention and treatment: the culture temperature of ① was kept at 2539 ℃, and the scorpion with ② could be fed with multi-enzyme tablets, mother-born tablets, sulfonamide tablets and compound feed, and mixed well until cured. 5. Ants not only compete with scorpions for feed, but also eat young, weak, sick and disabled individuals. Prevention and treatment: ① crushed and fried the eggshell and sprinkled it around the partition wall of the breeding area; ② was seduced with bones and sugars and scalded to death with boiling water.
