How much does it cost to raise centipedes?

The centipede is a terrestrial arthropod, the body is composed of many body segments, each section has steps, so it is a multi-legged creature, together with snakes, scorpions, spiders and toads, it is called "five poisons" and ranks first among the five poisons. generally, it can be seen under bricks and stones in rural areas, with high medicinal value and breeding prospects. Let's take a look at how much it costs to raise centipedes.

How much does it cost to raise centipedes?

Centipede culture feed is very extensive, general animal viscera, vegetables and fruits, vegetable farms, restaurants, kitchen leftovers can be, low cost, now in order to feed yellow powder insect calculation, 3 kilograms of rice bran raised yellow powder insect 1 kilogram, rice bran 1.2yuan per kilogram, 3kg total 3.6yuan, 600 mother species average solar eclipse yellow powder insect 60 grams totaling 0.216 yuan. The feeding cost per batch of mother species is 0.216 yuan × 90 days = 19.44 yuan, the food cost of 36000 pieces of larvae is 19.44 yuan × 60 times × 0.5mm 583.2 yuan, the labor cost (1 hour per day) is 10 yuan / working day × 90 days = 900 yuan, the average introduction fee is 1200 yuan, the construction cost of culture is 500 yuan, and the cost of drug disinfection is 50 yuan, the total cost is 19.44 yuan 583.2 yuan 900 yuan 1200 million 500 yuan 500 yuan 3252.64 yuan.

How is the profit of centipede breeding?

When the centipede is sold, the selling price of 36000 centipedes is 72000 yuan, and the profit is 72000-3252.64 million 68747.36 yuan. The above profit is calculated as each batch. If each batch is cultivated and bred four times a year, the annual profit is 68747.36 yuan × 4 million 274989.44 yuan.

What are the risks of raising centipedes?

1. Restricted by pharmaceutical companies: the demand for centipedes mainly comes from pharmaceutical companies, but it is of little use elsewhere. Although over-capture in previous years consumes a lot of wild centipede resources, it also increases the inventory of pharmaceutical factories. Many pharmaceutical companies have basically saturated demand for centipedes, and this situation will continue for some time, so breeding centipedes may not make a good profit at this time.

2. The breeding technology is very difficult: when the centipede is cultured, it has certain requirements for temperature, humidity and breeding facilities, and the centipede with high medicinal value grows slowly and has a long culture cycle. Investors must know the habits, mating and spawning time of centipedes like the back of their hand, all of which must have certain professional knowledge and practical experience. Any mistakes in any link will ruin the early investment.

3. It is difficult to preserve centipedes: usually, the centipedes needed by pharmaceutical companies are bundles of dried centipedes, which need to be dried by investors before they are sold. During this period, dead centipedes are very easy to give birth to insects, and the price of insect-bearing centipedes is low. There is no doubt that the profit space for investors' centipede farming has been further reduced.

Conclusion: centipede culture should be careful, in the absence of technology accumulation, the large investment is more than the centipede breeding project, which has greater risk.

What are the ways of centipede breeding?

1. Box culture: the breeding box is made of wood, its size is 55 cm long, 45 cm wide and 30 cm high. The inner wall of the box is affixed with a layer of non-toxic plastic film, and the mouth of the box is equipped with a cover of iron yarn. After the box is made, it is placed in the appropriate position in the room, and the multiple boxes are arranged well. there are multiple layers of tiles at the bottom of the box, and the distance between the tiles is about 1.5 centimeters. the feet are padded with cement around, usually a stack of 5-6 tiles, so that the space between the tiles can be used for centipedes to live. Before entering the box, the tiles should be washed with water and absorbed enough water in order to create a humid environment for the centipede, and a batch of prefabricated new tiles should be replaced after a certain period of time to keep them moist and clean.

2. Cylinder maintenance: the centipede cylinder usually uses a ceramic cylinder, with a caliber of 50 cm 60 cm wide and 80 cm 100 cm high. Put it in an appropriate position indoors, put a layer of broken stones or tiles at the bottom of the cylinder, cover it with a layer of 30 cm thick fertile garden soil, slightly flatten it, stack tiles in a box way on the soil surface, and the uppermost tile is about 20 cm away from the cylinder mouth. Cover the cylinder mouth with an iron gauze cover to prevent the centipede from escaping.

3. Pond culture: pond culture is built indoors or outdoors, the pond is brick-cement structure, the environment in the pool should be warm, cool, humid and quiet. Indoor pool generally each pool area of about 2 square meters is appropriate, rectangular, pool height of 50 cm to 60 cm, the inner wall is flattened with cement without leaving any space, and lined with agricultural film or glass with a width of 20 cm to inlay a circle above the pool, the bottom of the pool is not paved with cement, first lay a layer of small soil with a thickness of about 10 cm, and then stack 5-to-6-layer tiles above, leaving a 1.5 cm gap between tiles for centipede habitat and spawning and hatching.
