Culture techniques of mole cricket

Mole cricket is a very common pest, the harm is more serious in the south of China, but mole cricket has high medicinal value. It is widely used in clinical treatment such as urinary calculi and edema, and it also has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of nephritis and uremia. Because our country also has certain mole cricket breeding area now, so how should mole cricket breed? The following editor brings you the breeding technology of mole cricket, let's have a look!

1. Build a breeding pond

If it is a large-scale breeding of mole cricket, then first of all, it is necessary to establish a breeding pond with bricks and stones as raw materials. According to the number of culture to control the number and area of the breeding pond, the bottom of the breeding pond should be filled with about 0.8-1 meter of soil and compacted. Then add about 25 centimeters of fertilizer or organic matter-rich soil, and then cover a layer of loose grain straw to improve the rest place for mole cricket. Finally, iron gauze is covered at the mouth of the breeding pond, one is to prevent mole cricket from escaping, the other is to shade mole cricket and improve the temperature of the feeding pond.

2. Timely planting

When preparing mole cricket species, we can make use of the strong phototropism of mole cricket, and use light to trap mole cricket near farmland in the peak period of mole cricket activity in April and September every year. After catching the mole cricket, it is necessary to remove the physically disabled, injured, thin and sick adults. To ensure the quality of mole cricket species, high-quality varieties is the key to ensure the success of breeding. Therefore, the variety of mole cricket is very important, can not capture all the mole cricket for breeding, must be screened, can be timely put into breeding, otherwise it will affect their own breeding efficiency.

3. Feeding and management

The feeding habits of mole cricket are very miscellaneous, mainly vegetable leaves and grain stems and leaves, but artificial breeding needs to prepare some rice grains, fried food crops and other fine feeding. Generally feed in the evening every day, the amount of feeding should not be too large, to avoid residual feed after feeding. Green feeding must be given once a day and intensive feeding once every two days, mainly in a small amount. Do not feed moldy, deteriorated feed, the feed can be dried to improve the storability of the feed. Do a good job of cooling and heat preservation in summer and winter to prevent mole crickets from being unable to adapt to temperature changes.

4. Harvesting and processing

Artificial breeding mole cricket can be harvested once a year, but it is mainly changed according to different varieties, of which North China mole cricket needs once every two years. At the time of harvest, the organic soil in the breeding pond should be screened with large holes to pick up adults, and then remove the dirt, not all of it, but some of it should be reserved for breeding in the second year. If there are more insect dung, then the soil should be changed in time. Remove the head, wings and feet of mole cricket after harvest. After removing the internal organs, wash them clean, then burn them to death with hot water, dry them in the sun and fry them into snacks.

The above is a brief introduction of mole cricket breeding technology, it should be noted that mole cricket belongs to pests. Therefore, when breeding, it is necessary to prevent mole crickets from escaping and pose a threat to planting crops. We must do a good job in escape prevention to prevent unnecessary losses. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
