Construction of greenhouse for locust breeding

The breeding value of locusts is very high, and now more and more locusts are engaged in locust breeding projects, but because locusts have the habit of flying, they must be raised in sheds. What about any construction of locust breeding greenhouses? Today, the editor will share with you the construction method of the locust breeding greenhouse.

Site selection of locust breeding greenhouse

The place to choose ventilation to the sun is appropriate, before and after the house, idle courtyard, land, etc., the ground of the breeding shed should be 10-15 cm higher than the surrounding ground.

Setting of greenhouse area for locust culture

The area of the shed depends on the number of locusts. Generally, 600-800 adults can be raised per square meter. At first, it took 15 square meters to raise 10,000 locusts.

Construction and materials of locust shed

The general economic materials for raising locusts to build sheds are sticks, gauze, bamboo poles, bamboo slices and so on. We can also make use of waste vegetable greenhouses and idle houses, and suggest to build arched sheds, which have strong wind resistance and simple structure, and the scale of the shed can be adjusted to local conditions. the shed is generally no more than 15 meters long, no more than 6 meters wide and 2 meters high. in order to feed forage, clear the shed, catch locusts and so on. During construction, the arch is made of two bamboo slices at an interval of 1 meter and extended in turn, connected with wooden sticks, bamboo poles and other materials to form a frame, and a shed like a mosquito net is made with cold cloth, which is hung on the scaffolding, the bottom is buried in the ground, leaving the door with zippers, adhesive tape, etc., this device is to prevent locusts from running out and to facilitate feeding and management in the shed.
