Tianji is generally called in Guangdong, its scientific name is tiger frog, because the tiger frog likes to hunt locusts, beetles and other pests in the paddy field, and the sound is similar to a large rooster, so it is called Tianji. The frog is not a bullfrog, and while bullfrogs are larger in size, the frog is about the same size as a frog. Frogs must be raised and hatched from artificially harvested eggs, and the tadpoles that come out of the membrane are usually cultivated in the original hatchery or net box, and can be stocked with 600-800 tails per square meter of water surface.

I. Why is the field chicken called field chicken

1. The field chicken is the name of Guangdong, because the field chicken likes to prey on pests in the paddy fields, and its sound is very similar to that of a large rooster, so it is called the field chicken. Tianji is one of the larger frogs, weighing up to 250g, and is mainly found in the south of the Yangtze River.

2. The frog is not a bullfrog, but a tiger frog. Frogs and frogs are almost the same size, and bullfrogs can be called frogs in the "giant", its body length is generally 18-20 centimeters, the largest individual can reach more than 2 kilograms. Frogs like to eat mosquitoes, locusts, green worms, earthworms, animal carcasses, etc., if artificial rearing, you can feed it yellow mealworms, fly maggots, small fish, shrimp and so on.

3, breeding field fowl must be artificially picked eggs after hatching, tadpoles can be cultivated in the original hatchery or net box after coming out of the membrane, roughly 600-800 tails per square meter of water surface stocking. The tadpoles can be artificially baited on the 4th day after hatching, and can only be moved into the rearing pond after about a week of rearing. After about 20-30 days of breeding, they can feed on red worms, water fleas, fly maggots, as well as soybean milk, soya bean dregs, soya bean cake powder and chlorella.

Second, what is the difference between frogs and frogs

1, body type is different

(1) frogs body length of about 70-80 mm, the head is larger than the head width, the kiss is bluntly rounded with a little pointed, kissing prongs are inconspicuous, the eyes are narrowly spaced, the forelimbs are short, batch end bluntly pointed, the hind limbs are shorter and plump, the intertoe All are webbed.

(2) the appearance of the field fowl is very strong, females than males, body length can be more than 12 centimeters, body weight of 250-500 grams, the skin is relatively rough, the head and the side of the body has irregular patches, the back is yellowish-green and slightly brown, there are more than a dozen rows of longitudinal arrangement of the skin ribs.

2, the breeding period is different

(1) the breeding period of the frog is April-July, spawning climax in April, before and after the rainfall and dusk will begin to chirp, and then lure the female frogs to hold the pair of spawning; the eggs are mainly spawned in the rice paddy, the early paddy field, or other static waters, and occasionally also spawned in the slow-flowing water.

(2) The breeding season of frogs is from May to August. They breed immediately after hibernation, usually through in vitro fertilization in water, and the eggs hatch into tadpoles, which change according to the stage of development.

3. Different places of origin

(1) Frogs are mainly found in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Fujian, Guangdong, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, and Inner Mongolia.

(2) The distribution range of Tianji is relatively wide, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Fujian, Taiwan, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Hainan, Shanghai, Henan, Chongqing, Sichuan and southern Shaanxi and other places are distributed.
