What are the prospects for locust breeding?

Locusts are both medicinal and edible insects, and there are mainly two kinds of locusts, namely, East Asian migratory locust and Chinese rice locust, which are distributed in North China, East China, Central and South China, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Taiwan and other regions. After obtaining, they are winged, feet, washed and eaten after scalding with boiling water. They are the most ideal food with high protein content and have high breeding prospects.

The culture technology is simple and the management is relatively simple.

For most people, raising locusts is just a matter of experience. As long as there is grass (locusts only eat single-leaf grass, such as corn, wheat, thread grass, Reed grass, barnyard grass, etc.), they can be raised. Moreover, the management is relatively simple, the amount of labor is very light, and drinks can be fed on time. Physiologically, locusts are not easy to get sick, do not spread pestilence, and do not need epidemic prevention in breeding.

The investment of locust breeding is low, and the income is fast.

Generally, about 300 yuan can build a breeding shed of 50 to 60 square meters, which can use the front and back of the house, courtyard or idle land, and can raise 1-30,000 eggs and locusts. The mature period of locusts is about 50 days, and the incubation period is about 5 months plus two seasons a year. In the same year, you can return to the capital and make a profit, and in the following years, depending on how many locusts lay eggs, the income will increase exponentially, which is indeed a rare good way to get rich.

Broad prospects for development

1. With the development of society and the continuous improvement of the quality of life, the human dining table has changed from the traditional type such as chicken, duck, fish and meat to the wild type. Locusts are nutritious, fresh and tender, and delicious as shrimp. They are known as "flying shrimp" in Hong Kong and other places. They are a favorite food for people all over the world. "insect banquets" are also held in the United States to entertain distinguished guests, including locusts. It is reported that some patients with obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases tend to eat insects in order to achieve the goal of losing weight and dispelling diseases. Subsequently, some countries and regions have the corresponding rise of insect food. Cooking with insects, or making canned food, biscuits, ice cream and other food, is very popular.

2. According to expert analysis, the protein content of East Asian migratory locust is as high as 74.88%, carbohydrate content is 4.77%, and contains 18 kinds of amino acids and a variety of active substances, as well as a variety of vitamins A, B, C and phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese and other elements. Locusts are also good medicine for diseases. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, locusts can be used alone or in combination to treat a variety of diseases, such as cough, shortness of breath, tetanus, acute and chronic typhoid, measles, fever, asthma, tracheitis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It can reduce blood pressure, lose weight, lower cholesterol and so on. Long-term consumption also has the health function of relieving cough and relieving asthma, nourishing and strengthening the spleen and transporting food, and can prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

At present, many large domestic companies are engaged in the development and application of locusts. A listed company in Beijing alone asks us for 60 tons of adult locusts every year, and we are well aware that our supply is far from being able to meet their needs. moreover, Guangzhou, Shandong, Liaoning and other places have asked us for goods. Therefore, we decided to expand the scale of aquaculture, form industrial management, and provide one-stop service of breeding, processing and sales. In the sales link, we should first pay attention to the sanitary quality of the processing and production process, so that our products will meet the national standards as soon as they are on the market. We should not only ensure that farmers have a higher economic income, but also ensure that the interests of customers will not be infringed. We hope to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with all our customers and all farmers. We are full of confidence in this.
