Matters needing attention in grasshopper culture

The grasshopper used to be a pest, but now it has become a delicacy, and many people have discovered the business opportunities here and chose to join in farming. But breeding grasshoppers is not easy, there are often problems, there are many points for attention you do not know, the following to understand the next few points for attention!

1. The cleanliness of forage

Grasshoppers are not picky about forage, as long as you feed it, you can eat it clean in a short time. The grasshopper itself does not have the ability to distinguish food, no matter whether the food is poisonous or not, they basically eat it, but the grasshopper's resistance to these toxins is very poor, accidentally leading to mass death. Make sure the forage is clean and safe before feeding, even if it is not so fresh, as long as there is no harm.

2. Prevent escape

Grasshoppers themselves like to run around, as you can see in the breeding shed, and they have a certain degree of following. as long as a few take the lead and run away, it represents this big friend loophole, then more and more grasshoppers will follow, so protective measures should be taken well. Secondly, the grasshopper itself has a greater impact on the surrounding environment, if there is a suitable breeding ground nearby, these escaped grasshoppers will easily form a pest disaster, farmers should pay more attention to this problem.

3. Keep quiet

Caution has always been a fine tradition of grasshoppers, and they will run away at the slightest change, so the breeding grasshoppers should keep quiet around them. The density of breeding is originally higher than that in the wild, and the activity site is also small. if the outside noise is too loud, it will stimulate the grasshopper in the greenhouse, and then there will be unrest. If there is frequent noise, the whole group of grasshoppers will always be in a state of tension. Ready to escape at any time, the impact on the efficiency of breeding is extremely serious. If grasshoppers often panic, check to see if there is something wrong with your voice.

4. Control lighting

The influence of light on the grasshopper is not small, so the surface of many breeding greenhouses are opaque, which can not only control the light in the greenhouse, but also avoid the strong light shining directly on the grasshopper. Light will affect the reproductive efficiency of grasshoppers, high-intensity light will slow down the reproduction of light, and may also have an impact on the hatching of eggs, in addition, it is easy to lead to temperature imbalance, serious temperature difference between day and night, grasshoppers die in bulk, and so on.

These are some of the problems that should be paid attention to when raising grasshoppers. The vitality of grasshoppers themselves is relatively strong, but the vitality of grasshoppers cultivated in greenhouse is naturally not as strong as that of wild grasshoppers, and only good prevention can ensure survival.
