Key Points of Artificial Breeding Technology and Management for Leeches (Medicinal Leeches)
Leeches, also known as medicinal leeches, make their living by sucking blood and preying on small animals, and after processing they are a valuable traditional Chinese medicinal material. In recent years, artificial breeding has emerged. So, what breeding technology is there for leeches? Let's find out together! 1. Site Construction Choose a wind-sheltered, sunny spot with convenient drainage and irrigation to build the pond. The ridge around the pond should be 1.8 m high, with a water depth of 1 m. The area should be determined according to the breeding quantity; generally, 60,000-100,000 young leeches can be stocked per mu of water surface. Set an inlet and an outlet at opposite corners of the pond. To facilitate the leeches' habitat and egg-laying, some irregular stones or branches can be placed on the pond bottom. In the water, 5-8 earthen platforms should be built 20 cm above the water surface, each about 1 sq m. The pond ridge should also have an escape-prevention ditch, built with bricks, 12 cm wide and 8 cm high. When it rains, cover it with fine mesh netting or spread some lime in the ditch to prevent escape.
