Culture technology of earthworm (earthworm)

Earthworms, also known as earth dragons, curls and so on, are hermaphroditic animals with a wide variety of species, and now some varieties have been introduced as special breeding projects. So, what are the breeding techniques for earthworms? Let's get to know it together.

1. Construction of breeding grounds.

Earthworms are very flexible in the soil. In order to ensure the breeding effect, they are generally cultured in aquaculture tanks. The height of each box does not need to be too high, 30-50 cm, but the horizontal area is as wide as possible. The fillings can be farm manure such as cow manure and pig manure, or some decaying leaves mixed soil, in which the filled soil is about half. Some places or even all use livestock manure, breeding boxes can be plastic or iron, it is recommended to give priority to plastic.

2. Bait delivery

The food of earthworms is diversified, and we don't have to worry about it. All kinds of rotten plants or some compost grains are the food of earthworms. In order for earthworms to grow better, we should take a variety of mixtures to stir them up when putting in bait, and add certain items such as soil or dry straw. After fermentation, the high-quality bait will be similar to black soil after fermentation, and there will be no bad smell. Those who want to fatten up quickly can add some high nutrients such as fish meal for earthworms to absorb.

3. Environmental control

Earthworms have strict requirements for light, temperature and humidity. Earthworms like warm, humid but cool places, so breeding boxes should generally set up sunshades, generally allowing them to have 2-3 hours of direct radiation every day, and then growing is not conducive to their growth. Secondly, it is necessary to ensure that the soil in which they live is in a relatively humid state for a long time, that is, when turning the soil, you can obviously see that there is water in it. Earthworms have a high demand for temperature. in general, 20-30 degrees is their ideal living environment.

4. Points for attention

There are also many things to pay attention to in breeding earthworms. The feeding bait can not be accumulated for a long time, and some residual bait needs to be cleaned up every other week or so. Earthworms often rely on the taste of their feces to identify their caves, so when their feces accumulate too much and need to be cleaned up, they can not all be cleaned up. It is necessary to reserve some relatively fresh faeces, otherwise earthworms can easily escape. When feeding, we should pay attention to repeated small amounts, so that the feed can be maximized by earthworms.
