What conditions are needed for farming Loach in farm yard? How to breed it?

Loach has high nutritional value and strong survival ability, and can survive in most environments. Therefore, many farmers will choose to raise loach in their own courtyards, houses in front of houses, small pits, etc., so what conditions do farm courtyards need to raise loach? How to breed?

I. Pool construction

The pond should be built in a place with sunny direction, reliable water source, clean environment, convenient management, good soil quality and no leakage. If conditions permit, l : 2 cement mortar can also be used for bricklaying. Area can be adapted to local conditions. It is generally 100-200 square meters, 1 meter deep, and maintains a water depth of 40-50 cm. 20-30 cm of mud is spread at the bottom of the pool so that loach can drill and perch. For irrigation convenience, the pool should be equipped with water inlet and outlet, and the loach stopping equipment (such as barbed wire, etc.) should be prepared.

II. Cleaning pool disinfection

General mu with 50 kilograms of quicklime disinfection, injection of new water, and appropriate application of manure, to improve water quality. Be sure to wait for about 7 days after the drug disappears before stocking.

III. Breeding loach species

Artificial reproduction or wild can be, but the requirements of disease-free injury, robust and lively, uniform specifications. Before stocking, it is best to soak in 3% saline for 10 minutes. After spring, it is advisable to choose sunny days for stocking.

IV. Reasonable feeding

Because loach belongs to omnivorous fish, when breeding, in addition to fertilizing and cultivating natural bait, some animal bait can be properly fed, such as snail, earthworm, silkworm chrysalis powder, animal viscera, etc.; some plant bait can also be fed, such as rice bran, bean cake, rice, vegetable leaves, etc. The feeding amount of loach was 1% in August, 4% in April and June, 10% in July and August and 4% in September and October. Generally to late autumn and early winter, loach into hibernation period, can ask the pool to apply some base fertilizer, so that its insulation winter. Bait should be set up bait Taiwan, so as not to waste, at the same time, bait should be appropriate, should be eaten within 2-8 hours as well, otherwise it will swell to death.

5. Change fresh water frequently

Always observe changes in water quality, generally yellow and green color is appropriate to prevent excessive fertilizer pool water. If loach is found sometimes out of the water surface, this shows that the water is oxygen-deficient, and new water should be replaced. Especially in case of thunderstorm, sultry weather, more frequent injection of new water oxygenation. If there are conditions, oxygen can be used to prevent the death of the pool.

VI. Prevention and treatment of diseases

Common diseases of loach include water mildew and fin rot. If these diseases occur, they can be washed with an antibiotic solution containing 10-15 micrograms per milliliter for 10 minutes.

VII. Pay attention to the prevention of biological hazards

Light can be used to trap water centipede, clip insects. Rainy season, should pay attention to flood control, so as not to escape.

Farm loach breeding is generally 120-150 days, can grow to 8-15 cm, weight gain 4-9 times, can reach the sales standard, the benefits of breeding is still very good.
