Five kinds of Feed for Monopterus Albus Culture

Generally speaking, Monopterus Albus is mainly animal feed fish, and requires fresh feed, do not eat rotten animal feed. As far as artificial culture is concerned, the feed of Monopterus Albus should be based on animal feed and supplemented by plant feed. Ensuring adequate and high quality feed is the key to successful culture and high yield of Monopterus Albus. Ricefield eel (Monopterus Albus) is an omnivorous fish that mainly feeds on animals, and its feed sources are extensive and easy to obtain. Monopterus Albus farmers can use the existing resources to collect and cultivate live bait.

Cultured earthworms

Use raw materials such as cow dung and domestic waste to cultivate earthworms. Daping No.2, Beixing No.2 and Chizi Aisheng are the best varieties. Earthworms can be raised with abandoned buckets and pots, drilling a small hole with a diameter of 2 centimeters at the bottom and covered with gauze cloth to facilitate ventilation and drainage; they can also dig holes or raise them with brick ponds where drainage and irrigation are good.

Breeding maggots

You can make a self-made fly cage and buy excellent housefly species from the maggot farm to produce sterile maggots. You can also grind 0.5 kilograms of soybeans into a pulp, pour into a water tank that can hold 40 kilograms of 50 kilograms of water, and add 2.5 kilograms of fresh pig blood and 10 kilograms of water to mix well. Maggots can be bred in a week.

Captive snails

A number of bamboo cages were hung around the culture pond, with a net of 4 mesh and 6 meshes. A certain number of species of snails were placed in the cage. Snail cage 2/3 was immersed in water. Most of the young snails crawled out of the cage and could be eaten by Monopterus Albus. Can also go to canals, rice fields to pick up snails, shelled and chopped to feed eels.

Light lure insects

Two black lights are hung over each eel pond, the upper one is properly suspended to attract moths far away, and the lower one is 20 cm from the surface of the eel pond. When it is just dark, turn on the high-altitude black light and find that when the moths form a mass around the high-altitude light, turn on the water surface black light again, and turn off the high-altitude light, at this time, the high-altitude moth will quickly swoop down and gather around the water lamp, due to the reflection of the electric light in the water, many moths will rush into the water and become the fodder for ricefield eel. When there are fewer moths over the pool, turn on the high-altitude black light to seduce, and so on.

Collect water worms

Dig a shallow pool in the drain, cover the bottom with saprophytic mud, maintain a water depth of 5 to 6 centimeters, apply fermented organic fertilizer regularly, and water worms will multiply in large numbers.
