Safe Overwintering Technique of Toad

The toad has an ugly appearance, but its meat is more delicate and delicious than frogs, and it is very popular in coastal cities. In addition, in recent years, it has been found that its toad clothes and venom have a good therapeutic effect on cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Market demand has risen sharply. Therefore, we have artificial breeding toads in many areas, but toads dormant in winter, serious cases will cause toad death and great losses, so it is very important to make toads survive the winter safely. Let's take a look at the following pro-agricultural network to bring toad safe overwintering technology.

1. Strengthen feeding in autumn

Toads change temperature from time to time, and go into hibernation every time the climate is cold, so we should strengthen nutrition when it goes into hibernation, otherwise when hibernation ends, the nutrition will fail to keep up and die. Toads, like frogs, can only see moving creatures, not static things, so pay attention to feeding. Bean curd dregs can be mixed with pig blood in a container and placed in the site to ferment on its own to attract flies to lay eggs, then hatch maggots and let toads feed on their own. In addition, in the evening or evening, turn on the lighting equipment to attract mosquitoes for toads to hunt, and you can also buy yellow powder insects and snails to feed.

2. Prepare before winter

Toad farming is divided into outdoor and indoor farming, but no matter indoor or outdoor, we should be prepared before overwintering. First, check the breeding area to see if there is any water leakage. If it is found that the leakage should be blocked and replenished in time, if there is no leakage, the problem of water quality should be checked, and if the water quality is poor, the water should be changed in time. If the water quality is good, then do not change the water. When the toad enters the water for the winter, it should be diluted with bleach and sprayed with disinfection to prevent the toad from being disturbed by germs when it hibernates.

3. Outdoor overwintering

When outdoor overwintering, trench around the breeding site, dig several ditches, the ditch is as large as possible, store water in the ditch about 0.3-1 meter, water storage depends on the temperature, slightly warmer areas can store less water, while colder areas need to store water deeper. Then put 10-30 toads per square meter to winter, pay attention to the temperature and water surface conditions, if the temperature is low, the water surface freezes, it is necessary to break the ice in time, so that oxygen can be integrated into the water to prevent toads from dying due to lack of oxygen.

4. Overwintering indoors

Indoor overwintering is more convenient than outdoor overwintering, the water level of the culture pond will deepen the effect of 20cm, and then put toads overwintering, because the indoor temperature is higher than outdoor, so generally there will not be the phenomenon of water surface icing. But we should also pay attention to the temperature, if the temperature is high, the toad's hibernation is insufficient, which is not conducive to the later feeding, keep the water temperature above zero, below 10 degrees.

The above are the safe overwintering techniques of toads brought by pro-agricultural networks. when overwintering, toads should pay attention to the harm of enemy organisms such as rats, snakes and birds, especially outdoor breeding, so as to prevent them from eating the overwintering toads.
