Key points of red insect culture

Red insects account for a large proportion of aquaculture feed, which is a high-quality feed choice for many people. The breeding of the red worm itself is relatively fastidious, and it is extremely weak and easy to be stimulated by foreign objects and die, resulting in a lack of scale. This is the reason why we rarely find large-scale red insect groups in the wild. Here are some key points of red insect culture to help you increase production!

1. Lighting

The red worm team is very sensitive to the light source and has a strong phototaxis. If the light time is long, the performance of the red worm will be excellent in all aspects. But the light here is generally soft light, not for you to directly put in the sun to daylight, so the red worm can not be held up. The light of the breeding ground should be brighter during the day, and light bulbs should be prepared at night, so that red worms can enjoy the light most of the time. This is a more important place, because the efficiency of breeding is improved obviously.

2. Quality of water source

Water is the source of life for red worms, because they can not survive without water, and all kinds of food also rely on water to help them dissolve and eat. But the paradox is that red worms like fattening water, and then they like pure water. Water and fertilizer are easy to fatten, and purity helps to improve their survival rate, so the control of water quality requires farmers to pay more attention to it. You can regularly put some organic fertilizer into the water to fertilize the water, while ensuring the fluidity of the water source, to coordinate the quality of the water source, so that it is relatively balanced.

3. Feeding adjustment

Feeding is very prone to problems, because the feeding time of red worms is different from other feeding times, red worms are usually fed only once every 2-3 days. The feeding time should be adjusted according to the growth of the red worm. too often, the water will be too fertile for the red worms to adapt, and eventually the red worms will die in bulk. Red worm feed is generally some animal manure mixed fermentation and then mixed water to the red worm, so it is very easy to occur such a situation, feeding should be adjusted in time.

4. Ambient temperature

The red worm is extremely sensitive to temperature, one is the external temperature, the other is the temperature of the water source, both of which have a direct effect on the red worm. The water in the red worm culture pond is very shallow, usually only a few centimeters deep. If the temperature difference between the water flowing in from the outside and the water in the original pond is large, it will lead to the mass death of the red worm. Secondly, the external temperature is unbalanced, and the large temperature difference between day and night will also occur, so temperature control is also a key point.

These are some of the key points in the breeding of red worms, which need to be paid great attention to, because the red insects are too small, and many things that are not very sensitive to everyone may have a great impact on the red insects.
