The prospect of leech culture

Abstract: the period of artificial culture is short, it can be cultured on an integrated scale, and the economic benefit is high. With the surge of domestic demand for leeches and the stimulation of foreign exchange earnings from foreign trade exports, the prospect of artificially farmed leeches is very broad.

Leeches, commonly known as leeches, grow and breed in inland freshwater waters. They are traditional Chinese medical aquatic animals. After their dried products are processed in traditional Chinese medicine, they are used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat stroke, hypertension, clearing blood stasis, amenorrhea, falling injury and so on. Leech preparation has a special effect in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and anti-cancer. In history, it is mainly natural fishing, and wild natural resources have decreased sharply due to the abuse of pesticides and chemical fertilizers in recent years, and the environmental pollution caused by the "three wastes" of industry and agriculture.

In recent years, with the vigorous development of traditional Chinese medicine market and the demand and development of medicinal leeches, the resources of domestic wild leeches are decreasing, the supply is in short supply, and the price of leeches is rising. On the other hand, the consumer market in Europe and the United States is very large. in recent years, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asian countries have also imported a large number of leeches from China, resulting in a shortage of domestic leeches and rising prices. Comprehensive domestic pharmaceutical market, from the national special breeding information meeting: due to the long-term use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the resources of wild leeches are reduced year by year, so artificial breeding of leeches is extremely urgent. The period of artificial culture is short, it can be cultured on an integrated scale, and the economic benefit is high. With the surge of domestic demand for leeches and the stimulation of foreign exchange earnings from foreign trade exports, the prospect of artificially farmed leeches is very broad.

From the analysis of the development of the pharmaceutical market in the future, it is difficult to alleviate the shortage of leeches in the short term, and the contradiction between supply and demand is getting bigger and bigger, which can not be solved by the regeneration of natural resources. In order to make up for the shortage of natural resources and protect the precious and limited wild resources, artificial breeding of leeches is imperative. The huge market demand has created a broad market prospect for artificial breeding of leeches. It can be expected that the artificial breeding of leeches, as a fashionable new industry, will flourish all over the country.

At present, international pharmaceutical institutions no longer require traditional Chinese medicine products to be simple products with known structures, but can be mixtures with fixed ingredients, stable efficacy, safety and reliability. As the application of traditional Chinese medicine, leeches have been favored by the international pharmaceutical market, especially in Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia and other developed countries, which are imported in large quantities from China every year. The prospect of artificial breeding of leeches is broad, which brings greater opportunities for entrepreneurs to earn foreign exchange through export.

The development of leech breeding is the first choice for the adjustment of industrial structure in grass-roots rural areas and the re-employment of laid-off workers. It not only solves the problem of rich rural labor force, but also creates a way for farmers to shake off poverty and become rich. More laid-off workers to achieve re-employment, low-efficiency unit transformation provides a rare entrepreneurial opportunity!
