Shi Wa is a frog that grows in a deep mountain stream in Hunan. Its body is fatter than a frog, weighing 350-400g, its back is dark brown, its abdomen is white, it is photophobic and likes night activities. On a hot summer night, when it comes out to enjoy the cool, people often catch it with flashlights or torches. According to the analysis of medical experts, Shi Wa is cold, which has the functions of clearing fire, improving eyesight, nourishing and strengthening the body. Moreover, the fat content is low, and the protein is very high, so it is a delicious food with good food and medicine.

First, the main points for attention in artificial breeding in Shi Wa.

1. Location: divided into indoor Shi Wa culture and indoor Shi Wa culture.

(1) Outdoor, choose places with mountain spring water, good water quality, sufficient water, relatively stable water temperature, quiet environment, warm in winter and cool in summer, open terrain and good vegetation. , and focus on preventing escape and injury.

(2) Indoor, the aquaculture pond must be ventilated, not too hot, not in direct sunlight.

2. Area: the parent frog pond covers an area of 300~400 square meters, and the spawning pond covers an area of 50~60 square meters. The specially designed cement pond is better, with an area of 1~2 square meters.

3, temperature control and feeding:

Shi Wa is going to hibernate. Follicles develop rapidly after hibernation. Usually in April, when the water temperature is controlled at 65438 05℃ and the temperature is above 20℃, mating and spawning begin and end at the end of September. The ratio of female to male is 1: 1. Female frogs in the breeding period usually ovulate at 4-7 am, and some of them will be delayed to 9- 10. Eggs are generally attached to the wall of shitang pond, and generally about 600 eggs are laid at a time, and the height can reach 1000~2000.

4. Guide and domesticate artificial food.

Shi Wa's natural diet is to eat live bait instead of dead bait. When Shi Wa is farmed on a large scale, live bait cannot be satisfied. Therefore, Shi Wa should be fed with artificial compound feed. The sooner you eat artificial feed, the more obvious the effect will be. It is generally required to start feeding young frogs within 5-7 days after metamorphosis. The method can be used for reference: in the first 10 day,13 compound feed was mixed with 2/3 Tenebrio molitor to feed Shi Wa, and then the proportion of compound feed gradually increased as Shi Wa adapted to the compound feed until Shi Wa could get used to eating artificial compound feed.

Second, daily management and disease prevention and control

The important work of aquaculture in Shi Wa is to patrol the pond twice a day, once at dawn and once at night. Carefully observe the frog's dynamics to decide whether to change water and use medicine. In hot and rainy weather, special attention should be paid to strengthening patrol, and a diary should be established to measure the water temperature and record the amount of bait and the situation of entering and leaving the water. In daily management, it is also necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the frog pond, remove the residual bait every day and clean the frog pond regularly every seven days.

Remember: Shi Wa is very resistant to diseases, but it is easy to get red leg disease or skin rot in hot weather.

In short, Shi Wa should adjust measures to local conditions and find a suitable model according to the actual situation.
