Matters needing attention in leech culture

Leech is a relatively common medicinal material. In the past, there were many leeches in the rice fields in rural areas. After going to the fields, leeches often climbed to their legs to suck blood, and they could not be pulled out, which was very scary. However, due to the serious pollution of farmland caused by chemical spraying, many leeches have basically died out, but due to the high medicinal value of leeches. So leeches are accepted as a kind of culture in the cup, so let's take a look at the matters needing attention in leech culture.

1. Culture method

The main ways of leech breeding are intensive breeding and rough breeding, in rough breeding is mainly the use of existing land resources for breeding, the first thing we need to pursue is the choice of breeding sites, to choose fields, streams and rivers that have not been polluted for breeding, the second is to consider the water temperature, water level and plankton of the breeding sites, and to stay away from planting areas that need to be sprayed with pesticides. Intensive farming needs to pay attention to that the density of culture should be reasonable, and some duckweed or aquatic plants should be planted in the breeding ground, which can not only purify the water quality, but also provide some food for leeches.

2. Water quality management

In fact, leeches do not have too many requirements for water quality, because it is originally a wild animal, so its vitality is extremely tenacious. It is said that it can continue to survive after several knots. In rough leech culture, we mainly need to pay attention to the impact of environmental pollution on the breeding grounds, and we can only use low-toxic pesticides to control diseases and insect pests. The main purpose of the intensive culture model is to change the water reasonably, usually every 12 to 15 days or so, so as to keep the transparency of the water in the culture site at about 20%.

3. Daily management

It is necessary to fish out the food residue of the breeding site in time after each feeding, so as to prevent the food from smelly and cause water pollution, and at the same time, in normal management, the water level of the farm should be properly adjusted according to the changes of season and temperature. this is more conducive to the growth of leeches. The second is the need to irregularly remove the leech droppings, otherwise after fermentation rot will produce a large amount of ammonia and other toxic gases, resulting in leech poisoning and death.

4. Prevent escape

Leech is a kind of creature that loves to escape very much. although it is very easy to raise, it is not very easy to manage, so what we must pay attention to when breeding is to prevent leeches from escaping. Then before breeding, we need to lay props to prevent escape in the farm, build an anti-escape wall in the farm, and make the surface rough, so that it has a good anti-escape effect.

5. Sales channels

Since breeding leeches, then it must be to make money, and can make money, it has something to do with many factors, now the market price of leeches is not low, and the demand is also large, but without their own sales channels is also very difficult to sell leeches, even if sold can not make any money, so in breeding need to find a good relationship, to establish their own sales channels So you don't have to worry about not selling it.
