Culture techniques of centipede

The centipede is unpleasant and poisonous in appearance, and it will cause pain and swelling after biting, but it is an excellent Chinese herbal medicine with high medicinal value. In recent years, the market demand for it has increased, while the artificial capture of wild centipedes can not meet the market gap. So artificially farmed centipedes are born in compliance, so how should centipedes be raised? Let's take a look at the pro-farm network.

1. Construction of aquaculture pond

Centipedes mainly live in low mountain areas with more stone and less soil. after the temperature rises, they wake up from hibernation and begin to go out. They like to live in damp weeds or rocky ditches, avoid the heat in shady areas during the day, and come out at night. I like to live in dark and humid caves. Therefore, when we are in artificial breeding, we should build a similar environment according to its living habits. Planting trees in the culture pond is recommended or placing some tiles for climbing and concealment.

2. Feeding

Centipede is a typical carnivore. It likes to eat live insects, such as crickets, locusts, dragonflies and other common insects. It also likes to eat eggs of bees and flies, as well as snakes, frogs and birds of spiders, earthworms and reptiles. In artificial breeding, we must prepare enough food, the period of rapid growth, generally choose to feed with yellow powder insects in artificial breeding, the reproduction of yellow powder insects is very fast, when raising centipedes, they can reproduce on their own and reduce the breeding cost.

3. Feeding density

When planting, you can choose to catch wild centipedes and choose strong, injury-free ones to put into the pond, but pay attention to the feeding density, if the feeding density is too high, it may cause them to bite each other and kill each other. In addition, when they are too frightened and lack of feed and drinking water, they will kill each other. Therefore, we must strengthen inspection when raising, and feed it in time when it is found that there is a shortage of feed and drinking water. generally, it is non-toxic between 200 and 300 per square meter, and the breeding density will continue to be reduced with the growth of centipedes.

4. Prevent enemy damage and disease

When raising centipedes, there are often a lot of enemies and diseases. The common enemies are mice, toads and ants. They will swoop in when the centipede is molting and sleeping, gnawing away the centipede and paying attention to poultry and birds. The main diseases are Beauveria bassiana, gastroenteritis, shelling disease, black spot, etc., these diseases will lead to the death of centipedes, in breeding, we must do a good job in the environment, we must keep the breeding environment cool and humid, not too high temperature and too wet, otherwise it is easy to lead to the breeding of germs and endanger the growth of centipedes. We should deal with the disease in time after discovering the disease, and prescribe the right medicine in time after diagnosing the disease, and we must not miss the best treatment time.

The above is the centipede breeding technology brought by the pro-agricultural network. This is the end of the introduction on how to raise the centipede. If you want to know more about the centipede, please pay attention to the pro-agricultural network.
