1, Farm Construction: Due to the special living habits of barley worms, the site selection of the farm needs to be decided according to their living habits. Generally, the farm can be built in a place where the sun is sheltered from the wind but the light is not too strong. 2. Selection of seed insects: When breeding, we must choose high-quality barley insects as seedlings, so as to ensure the yield and quality. 3. Feeding density: Generally, about 3,000-4,000 larvae can be raised in each breeding box.
First, how to raise barley worms when they buy them home?
1, farm construction
(1) The life habit of the barley worm is very special, so the farm site should be decided according to the life habit of the barley worm, and the farm can be built in the sunny, windproof and light-suitable place.
(2) The area of the farm need not be very large, and three-dimensional culture can be adopted, so that the space can be fully utilized. There must be cabinets, boxes, ponds, boxes, etc. in the farm. Generally, the length, width and height of the breeding box are about 70 cm, 45 cm and 18 cm respectively.
2. Insect selection
Before breeding, we should choose high-quality barley worms as seedlings, so as to ensure the yield and quality of barley worms. We must choose larvae with large size, smooth and bright color and full posture as seed worms. Such larvae are easier to feed, and the heredity of offspring is relatively stable, which is also very helpful for later breeding.
3. Feeding density
(1) The breeding density is very important. Although the barley worms are relatively small, thousands can be raised in a breeding box, but not too many. If the breeding density is too high, barley worms will squeeze, grab food and kill each other, which will affect their growth and reproduction.
(2) Under normal circumstances, 3000-4000 larvae can be raised in each breeding box, 2000-3000 larvae can be raised slightly larger, and only about 1500 adults can be raised. Meanwhile, the barley worms should be continuously cultivated in groups according to their growth and various specific conditions.
4. Feeding methods
Barley worm is an omnivorous insect, and juvenile larvae are mainly fed with green vegetables, which is beneficial to the growth and development of larvae. When you grow up, you can feed corn flour, bran, fruits and vegetables, but if you can feed barley worms with pasture, it will help improve economic benefits.
Second, what is the larva of the barley worm?
1, Barley Worm is the larva of the super bread worm, and it is a new variety which is a hybrid of Tenebrio molitor and black powder insect. Barley worm is 3-4 times larger than common Tenebrio molitor, and its yield is about 5 times that of Tenebrio molitor, and its nutritional value is far beyond Tenebrio molitor. The current feeding cost of barley worms is similar to that of Tenebrio molitor, but the market price of barley worms is generally nearly four times higher than that of Tenebrio molitor.
2. The adult barley worm has certain reproductive ability, and the ratio of male to female in the breeding period is1:1. The body color of adults will turn black when they are sexually mature. Female adults are larger than male adults and have the habit of continuous mating and spawning. When mating, the male will climb on the female, and the female will lay eggs 2-3 days after mating, and can mate and lay eggs many times.
3. Barley worms like to live in groups, but they have the habit of killing each other. Adults will eat eggs, bite larvae and pupae, and older larvae will bite younger larvae or pupae. Killing each other will affect the yield, which is mainly caused by the high feeding density, especially for adults and larvae, which will be particularly serious at different ages.
