Decryption of red earthworms cultured in Taiwan

To explore the secret of Taiping No. 2, which is called "jianghu nickname".

There are two kinds of Si, and there are three kinds in Taiping II.

As mentioned above, everyone says that Taiping No. 2 is an earthworm. It sounds like Taiping No. 2 is a pure variety bred under an earthworm species. It is as accurate as the names of "Tainong 71", "Persian Cat" and "Chai Dog". But it seems that the breeding of red earthworms everywhere is not even a pure "species", not even a pure "species". Among the piles of earthworms known as "Taiping II" picked up in local farms, there is actually more than one species at all. at present, there are as many as three species, and not all of them are called red earthworms.

Some people may think that no matter how many kinds of earthworms they are, they will eat food waste, turn over compost, or eat animals as feed. Yes, if it's just such a simple requirement, it doesn't matter if there are 30 possibilities in the farm. However, if we really hope that the earthworm farming industry can be more refined, and the earthworms raised can have more delicate niches and uses, then it should be a better trend to find out the differences between the earthworms on their hands, and to raise each species separately if possible, and to provide the best culture environment for a variety of needs and functions, and to use them in the most appropriate way.

The three kinds of earthworms in the so-called "Taiping II" lie in rows. Do you see the difference?

What's more, the three species of earthworms raised in Taiwan are not just different species like Pomeranian, fox dog and Chihuahua, or just similar species of the same genus, such as orange, willow, and grapefruit. The three species of earthworms cultivated in Taiwan are Android Eisheng worm (Eisenia andrei), burrowing ring claw worm (Perionyx excavatus), and Eugene worm (Eudrilus eugeniae).

Moreover, these three kinds of earthworms belong to different families, that is to say, the differences between them are as big as "cat", "dog" and "raccoon"!

Therefore, if you just want to collect feces and mix these three kinds of animals with "hairy, four feet, tails, and all eat meat" together, it certainly doesn't matter. However, if you want to "catch mice" or "housekeeper", or even want to provide the least food but collect the most feces, find out what kind of animals you are raising, and pick out the most suitable species, it's better.

Here is a comparison table of these three kinds of earthworms:
