What's the use of breeding cockroaches? What are the relevant technical points?

When it comes to cockroaches, people must feel goose bumps all over and feel very dirty, especially when this creature comes to the home, you will find that it cannot be removed at all, because they reproduce too fast. However, now that some people actually breed cockroaches, what's the use? What are the relevant technical points?

What's the use of breeding cockroaches?

1. Artificially raised cockroaches can be used as chicken feed.

Periplaneta Americana is a common cockroach in Fuzhou. However, can you believe that "Periplaneta Americana" can be used as chicken feed by grinding it into powder? The "study on the Resource Development and Utilization of Periplaneta Americana" led by Dr. Zhou Qiong of the Institute of Agricultural economy and Science and Technology Information of Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences proposed that adding "Periplaneta powder" to chicken feed could improve the immunity of chickens. This study has been appraised by experts organized by the Provincial Department of Science and Technology.

Cockroaches are omnivorous animals with strong reproductive capacity, so it is not difficult to breed cockroaches on a large scale. Using cockroach meal instead of imported fish meal as broiler feed will greatly reduce the cost.

2. Artificial breeding can be used as medicine, but non-artificial breeding is a pest, carrying a lot of viruses. In 2000 years ago, folk medicine used cockroach as medicine to treat injuries caused by falls. There has been research on its use, and it has been accepted and spread so far.

Technical points of artificial culture of cockroaches

1. Culture environment

According to the living habits of cockroaches, it is recommended to cultivate cockroaches on a large scale by mixed culture with Tuyuan and cockroach special culture room. Cockroaches lie dormant during the day and go out at night. They like to move in a warm and humid environment. The general temperature should be controlled at 28-33 ℃. Cockroach special care room should pay attention to: ① pay attention to the sealing degree of the special care room ② to establish moisturizing materials and thermal insulation materials around the special care room (it is recommended to put some forage, foam) the doors and windows of the ③ special care room are not suitable for wood products ④ special care room needs to clean up an aisle, on both sides is the cockroach habitat ⑤ to control the density of cockroaches in the exclusive breeding room, the space is small, cockroaches are easy to die, and the ability of reproduction will be reduced.

2. Variety selection

Generally, cockroaches are selected for artificial breeding according to their life cycle, life span and economic value. Here, Xiaobian provides three types of cockroach ① Periplaneta Americana: long life cycle, life span of more than one year, female can produce 40-60 egg pods ② Australian cockroach: long life cycle, life span of about half a year, female can produce 20-30 egg pods of ③ German cockroach: short life cycle, life span of more than half a year, strong ability to adapt to the environment.

3. Feeding and management

The food for cockroaches is also relatively simple. Vegetables, melons and fruits, wood products and so on are all its food. As cockroaches come out at night, they only need to be fed around 6pm every day, according to the amount of food. If you want to improve the efficiency of cockroach culture, Xiaobian provides you with one of the most effective feeding feed: corn meal (large amount), salt, stone meal, fishmeal, lard and brown sugar. Attention should be paid to keeping constant temperature (28-33 ℃), environmental humidity (70%), raising in the dark, abundant food, adequate water, quiet environment, safe diet, prevention of natural enemies and so on.
