Breeding techniques of mole cricket (native dog puppies)

Mole cricket, also known as Lala Oratosquilla, local dog puppies, water dogs and so on, is an underground insect and a pest, but it has high medicinal value, so it is artificially farmed. So, what are the breeding techniques of mole cricket? Let's get to know it together.

1. Build a breeding pond

If it is a large-scale breeding of mole cricket, then first of all, it is necessary to establish a breeding pond with bricks and stones as raw materials, and control the number and area of the breeding pond according to the number of breeding ponds. The bottom of the breeding pond should be filled with about 0.8-1 meter of soil and compacted. Then add about 25 cm of fertilizer or organic matter-rich soil, and then cover a layer of loose grain straw. Provide rest place for mole cricket, and finally cover iron gauze at the mouth of the feeding pond, which can not only prevent mole cricket from escaping, but also shade mole cricket and increase the temperature of the feeding pool.

2. Timely planting

When preparing mole cricket species, we can make use of the strong phototropism of mole cricket. In April and September every year, the peak period of mole cricket activity uses light to trap mole cricket near the farmland, and after catching mole cricket, remove the disabled, injured, thin and sick adults, and ensure the quality and quality of mole cricket species. High quality varieties are the key to the success of breeding, so mole cricket varieties are very important. Can not capture all the mole cricket for breeding, must be screened, can be timely put into breeding.

3. Feeding and management

Mole cricket's feeding habits are very miscellaneous, mainly vegetable leaves and grain stems and leaves, but artificial breeding needs to prepare some rice grains, fried grain crops and other fine feeding mixed feeding, generally in the evening, the amount of feeding should not be too large, to avoid residual feed after feeding, green feeding must be given once a day, once every two days, mainly in a small amount, not moldy or spoiled feed. The feed can be dried in the sun to improve the storability of the feed, cooling and heat preservation should be done well in summer and winter to prevent mole cricket from dying because of temperature changes.

4. Harvesting and processing

Artificial breeding mole cricket can be harvested once a year, but it mainly varies according to different varieties. North China mole cricket needs to be picked up once every two years. When harvesting, the organic soil in the breeding pond should be screened with large holes to pick up adults, and then the dirty matter should be removed. Not all of them should be harvested, but some of them should be reserved for breeding in the second year. If there are more insect droppings, then the soil should be changed in time. After harvest, remove the mole cricket's head, wings and feet, remove the internal organs, wash it clean, then burn it to death with hot water, dry it and deep-fry it into snacks.
