First, the construction of farms
Eupolyphaga likes to live in dark, humid and humus-rich loose soil, so it is necessary to make full preparations for the soil when raising. First, we should choose humus-rich, loose and fertile garden soil or sandy loam, add appropriate amount of chicken manure, pig manure or plant ash to it, and place it in the sun. Because Eupolyphaga is afraid of light, it usually stays up at night, and the suitable growth temperature is 28-30 degrees, and it will be lower than 0 degrees or higher than 38 degrees.
Second, the management of larvae
Larvae rearing is very important in breeding. When hatching, keep the humidity of the feeding soil at about 40% and the temperature at about 25-30 degrees. After one month, the larvae can break their shells. In the incubator and larval rearing period, it is necessary to separate the larvae from the female worms, because the female worms often eat the larvae and eggs. When the larvae are young, they are mainly fed with intensive feeding, and the feed is evenly sprinkled on the feeding soil and then turned into the soil.
Third, feeding management
Eupolyphaga is an omnivorous animal. Plant feeds include wheat bran, rice bran, fruits and vegetables, and animals include earthworms and crickets. Eupolyphaga has strict requirements on temperature and humidity. The suitable growth temperature is 25-30 degrees, and it will hibernate below 8 degrees, and it will start to eat at 10 degrees. If it is lower than 0 degrees, it will freeze to death, and if it is higher than 38 degrees, it will die of heatstroke. Therefore, when breeding in summer, it is hot. Water is often sprayed to the breeding areas to keep the humidity of the breeding soil and reduce the soil temperature. It should be kept dry in winter and fed with semi-dry and wet materials. When the temperature is low, straw can be used to keep warm, and the humidity in spring is between 70% and 80%, which can make it grow rapidly.
Fourth, pest control
During feeding, Eupolyphaga Seu Steleophaga will suffer from various pests and diseases and natural enemies. The main diseases are pot-bellied disease and fungal infection. The prevention and control method of pot-bellied disease is to adjust the dry humidity of feed and feeding soil, and the water content should not exceed10%. The prevention and control method of fungal infection is to replace the feeding soil, sterilize it in time, and then grind it with 0.25 g tetracycline and feed it with mixed materials. The pests of Eupolyphaga Seu Steleophaga include mites, ants, rats, cats and snakes, etc. When breeding, we should pay attention to the defense and blockade of the farm, and don't let other pests take advantage of it. For tiny pests such as ants and mites, we can apply tung oil and sticky substances on the pond wall, and prevent mites with chemicals.
