Medicine has the effects of clearing heat, calming the liver, relieving asthma and dredging collaterals, and the breeding value is very high. Let's take a look at the breeding effect of earthworms.

As traditional Chinese medicine

Earthworms, commonly known as earthworms, are cold and salty, with the effects of clearing heat, calming the liver, relieving asthma and dredging collaterals. they are mainly used for the treatment of high fever, mania, convulsions, wind-heat headache, red eyes, hemiplegia and so on. The extract has a good effect of relieving cough and asthma, and its ash mixed with rose oil can treat baldness. The varieties of earthworms suitable for breeding as traditional Chinese medicine are mainly ginseng ring worms, which are relatively large, 120-400 mm in length, 6-12 mm in diameter, purple-gray on the back, dark in back color, slightly white in bristles, like the southern climate, and eat fertile soil.

Biological fertilizer

Earthworm manure is a good biological fertilizer, which is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, humus, organic matter and trace elements needed by crops such as magnesium, boron, nickel and manganese. It is a cheap and efficient fertilizer for fruits, flowers, vegetables and nurseries. The main varieties of earthworms used as biological fertilizers are white-stem ring worms, with a body length of 80-150 mm and a diameter of 2.5-5 mm, gray or chestnut on the back, light green in the rear, no bristles on the ventral side, like the southern climate and living in fertile vegetable fields and sweet potato fields, loosening soil, producing manure and fertilizing fields.

Aquatic bait

Earthworms are rich in protein, fat and carbohydrates, with a crude protein content of up to 72%, and containing amino acids, vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body. Earthworms can not only be used as animal feed and produce medicines and cosmetics, but also can be used for human consumption. The representative species of earthworms used as aquatic bait are Hubei ring worms, which are 70mm long, 220mm in length, 3mm in diameter, grass green all over the body, purplish green or dark green on the middle line of the back, red dorsal blood vessels, ventral gray, sapphire blue glow in the tail body cavity, three bands, milky yellow or brown yellow, like humid environment, and it is suitable to live in the humid soil of ponds, ponds and riversides for a long time. It does not pollute the water.
