Earthworm culture technology
Earthworm is a versatile species, which can be used as feed and fattening land. Its excrement is also a kind of high-quality fertilizer. At present, earthworms have a wide demand in rural areas of our country. So how to raise earthworms? What is the difficulty of breeding? Let's learn about this information together.
1. Construction of breeding grounds.
Earthworms are very flexible in the soil, so in order to ensure the effect of culture, they are generally cultured in aquaculture boxes. The height of each box does not need to be too high, 30-50 cm, but the horizontal area is as wide as possible. The fillings can be farm manure such as cow manure and pig manure, or some decaying leaves mixed with soil. About half of the filled soil fluctuates, and livestock manure is used in some places or even entirely. The aquaculture box can be made of plastic or iron, and plastic is recommended.
2. Bait delivery
Earthworms eat a variety of foods, so you don't have to worry too much. All kinds of rotten plants or some compost grains are the food of earthworms. For the better growth of earthworms, we should take a variety of mixtures to stir up the bait and add certain items such as soil or dried straw. Ferment before feeding. After fermentation, high-quality bait will be similar to black soil and will not have a bad smell. Those who want to fatten up quickly can add some high nutrients such as fish meal for earthworms to absorb.
3. Environmental control
Earthworms have strict requirements for light, temperature and humidity. Earthworms like warm, humid but cool places, so the breeding box should generally set up a sunshade, generally let it have 2-3 hours of direct radiation every day, and then grow is not conducive to its growth. Secondly, it is necessary to ensure that the soil in which they live is in a relatively humid state for a long time, that is, when turning the soil, it is obvious that there is water in it. Earthworms have a high demand for temperature, and 20-30 ℃ is the ideal living environment for earthworms.
4. Points for attention
There are also many things to pay attention to in breeding earthworms. Feeding bait can not be long-term accumulation, every other week or so need to clean up some of the previous residual bait. Earthworms often identify their caves by the smell of their feces, so when their feces accumulate too much and need to be cleaned up, they need to reserve some fresh feces, otherwise it is easy for earthworms to escape. When feeding, we should pay attention to repeated small amounts, so that the feed can be maximized by earthworms.
The above is the technology of breeding earthworms, this as a whole is still a relatively simple breeding project, but we should first consider how to sell before breeding. If you want to know more information about earthworms, you can follow our website, more wonderful content and so on.
