Women raise "Xiaoqiang" to open up a new way to become rich, annual income up to 100,000 yuan

Li Xiuhua introduced the living habits of Periplaneta Americana to reporters.

When it comes to cockroaches, many people hate them. Once there are cockroaches at home, they can't be killed. Cockroaches are jokingly called "invincible Xiaoqiang" because of their tenacious vitality. On April 19, the reporter learned that nearly 100 farmers in Rizhao made a living by raising Periplaneta Americana (commonly known as cockroaches), and more and more people saw the prospect of Periplaneta Americana.

Visit

Farmers like to cultivate Periplaneta Americana.

On April 19, the reporter came to Li Xiuhua's home in Kuishan Street. The reporter saw that she was wearing an apron and had short hair. She was so beautiful that it was difficult to associate her with the matter of raising cockroaches. She took the reporter to the house to visit Periplaneta America. in a room of less than 10 square meters, the asbestos shingles were placed neatly on the shelf, and Periplaneta Americana lived in it. The food of Periplaneta Americana was placed on it, and the reporter noticed that there were corn flour, fish meal and bananas.

In this regard, Li Xiuhua told reporters that she used to call Periplaneta Americana "Xiaoqiang". They like to eat vegetables and fruits, except chili peppers, and all other vegetables, especially potatoes, because of the high price of potatoes. Recently, she is not willing to buy potatoes for Xiaoqiang, but Xiaoqiang does not like rotten food. Put food on Xiaoqiang, and they will climb out to eat.

Li Xiuhua lifted an asbestos tile, and the reporter saw Periplaneta Americana crawling everywhere. Unlike the cockroaches common in citizens' homes, Periplaneta Americana has large size, long tentacles and agile movements. There are black Periplaneta Americana and a lot of yellow ones, but the yellow ones don't look as strong as the black ones. "these yellow ones will slowly turn black." She said.

Characteristics

Like humid environment and be afraid of light

Last year, Li Xiuhua heard from a friend that she invested 20,000 yuan to raise Periplaneta Americana to earn money. Li Xiuhua told the reporter with a smile that in fact she was very timid and afraid of bugs, but what was particularly strange was that she was not disgusted with Periplaneta Americana. Now when she feeds them every morning, she says, "Baby, I'm coming." Periplaneta Americana will also respond to this and climb out to eat food. Li Xiuhua said that Periplaneta Americana likes a dark and humid environment, and the indoor humidity needs to be maintained at about 70 degrees Celsius and the temperature at about 26 to 30 degrees Celsius. In order to maintain the indoor temperature, she has placed carbon crystal heating walls in the house. It takes about one month from egg to larva and four months from larva to adult. Then the adults can lay eggs again, and this cycle goes on and on. Due to the tenacious vitality of "Xiaoqiang", there is no need for drugs and epidemic prevention in the breeding process. "some are squeezed and still have several days to live."

"I don't want to. I only eat more than 10 a day." Li Xiuhua said. Seeing the reporter's frightened expression, Li Xiuhua smiled. She told the reporter that at first she dared not eat it, but then she gradually fell in love with "Xiaoqiang", because in the process of breeding, she found that "Xiaoqiang" was very clean, did not eat rotten food, did not feed pesticides, and was rich in protein and nutrition.

Happy

Many farmers have tasted the benefits.

Subsequently, the reporter came to the home of Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Wenhui community. The reporter noticed that Periplaneta Americana was looking for food, crawling freely around the house. He started farming in April last year, and now, in addition to getting his money back, he can also earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. "my wife and I are in poor health, and we raise Periplaneta Americana for medical treatment. now we eat Periplaneta Americana every day, and our health is much better than before." Mr. Zhang said.

During the interview, Mr. Yan, General Manager of Rizhao Industry and Trade Co., Ltd., told the reporter that there were farmers raising Periplaneta Americana in Rizhao City since last year, and now there are nearly 100. Periplaneta Americana can be made into fertilizer, pharmaceuticals and food. At present, many restaurants choose Periplaneta Americana as a high-end specialty.
