How much is grasshopper per jin? What about the breeding prospects?

Grasshopper is a very common insect, can be used both in medicine and food, and is rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and trace elements, so how much is the grasshopper per jin?

First, how much is the grasshopper per jin?

The market price of grasshopper is about 20 yuan per catty. If it is listed a month in advance, the price of grasshopper may be higher. Generally speaking, a large number of grasshoppers appear on the market from June to October every year.

Second, what are the prospects for grasshopper culture?

1. Simple breeding, convenient management: grasshopper's vitality is very tenacious, breeding is very simple, as long as there is grass can be raised, grasshoppers like to eat thick leaves, such as sweet potato, hollow cabbage, cabbage and other vegetables, also like to eat corn, wheat, sorghum, millet, rice, sorghum, barley and other crops, Reed, barnyard grass, white grass, Bermudagrass, shrimp grass, sea pongee and some Artemisia plants. It can also be fed properly. Grasshoppers are not easy to get sick, will not spread the plague, and can be avoided in the process of breeding.

two。 The investment of aquaculture is less and the income is fast. Grasshopper's early investment is very small, using the front and back of the house, courtyard or idle land can raise-30,000 eggs, only need more than 50 days to mature, can make a profit that year.

Grasshopper can be used for both medicine and food, high-protein and low-fat food is favored by the majority of consumers, the prospect of breeding is still very considerable, and the market demand is also rising in recent years, which is indeed a good way for farmers to get rich. But any breeding is risky, and if you want to raise a grasshopper, you should carefully consider it according to your own actual situation.

Third, the culture method of grasshopper

1. Site selection

The vitality of the grasshopper is very tenacious, so the breeding site of the grasshopper is also a good choice, what needs to be paid attention to by farmers is not to choose areas close to where crops are planted. The grasshopper is very timid. When disturbed, it will run away and even start a hunger strike. Therefore, the place near the highway should not be set up as a breeding ground.

2. Incubation management

Sprinkle the grasshopper eggs gently on the ground and cover them with fine soil. The temperature in the greenhouse should be kept between 25 and 30 degrees all the time. At the same time, use fluorescent lamps to keep the lighting time at 12 hours a day. In this way, the hatching can be completed after 2 weeks.

3. Feed management

Grasshoppers need to be fed with forage grass, and if possible, they can grow their own forage grass. Generally speaking, one mu of grasshopper needs to be planted with 2 mu of forage. The variety of forage grass can choose Mexican corngrass, Gaodan grass and so on. If you want the grasshopper to grow fast and grow fat, you also need to match corn, wheat, sorghum and other grain feed.

4. Adult management

It takes 4 weeks for the grasshopper to go from larva to adult. And then mate and spawn. And in the spawning period to control food intake, so that the spawning rate will be increased.

5. Measures for stopping maintenance

As the grasshopper is an agricultural pest, you can't just tear down the greenhouse after stopping breeding. Instead, it should be thoroughly cleared, killing all the eggs and avoiding damage to the surrounding crops.

Although the prospect of grasshopper culture is still considerable, but breeding needs to be cautious, to do a good job of management measures, lest grasshoppers escape, endanger the surrounding crops and cause disasters.
