How to breed bloodworms? A detailed explanation of methods and techniques

SummaryBreeding conditions: It is suitable to raise them in natural water. If tap water is used, the tap water must be placed under the sun to be exposed for 2-3 days. Light source control: At night, a 5-watt small light bulb can be used to provide a light source. Water quality regulation: Keep the water depth at 3-5cm, with a water flow rate of 5-10 liters per second. Feeding bait: Sawdust, rice bran, sludge, pigeon manure and other raw materials can be fermented to make feed for feeding.

1. Breeding conditions

1. Bloodworms like to live in slightly flowing fertilized water, so when breeding them artificially, the water quality must meet this condition. In late spring and early autumn each year, this is the period when bloodworms reproduce in large numbers. At this time, the bloodworms will float on the water surface, causing the water surface to appear brownish red, and they generally need to be collected with containers.

2. If breeding a small number of bloodworms, the sludge at the bottom of the water can be scooped out together with the bloodworms and placed in glass containers. It is generally suitable to raise them in natural water. If tap water is to be used, the tap water must be placed under the sun to be exposed for 2-3 days.

3. Generally during breeding, the water should be changed once a day, and cold protection measures should be taken at low temperatures. During this period, a red wet towel can be used to cover the container to retain moisture. It is suitable to choose a large-caliber container so that the bloodworms will float to the surface to breathe. If the container opening is relatively small, it will cause death.

2. Light source control

The light source is very important for breeding bloodworms, because bloodworms cannot do without light, so the light must not be turned off at night. If there is no light source at night, the bloodworms will be too lazy to breathe and are prone to death. During this period, 1 5-watt small light bulb can be used at night to provide a light source.

3. Water quality regulation

1. When breeding bloodworms, keep the water depth at 3-5cm. In spring, the water level can be slightly shallower during the day, and the water temperature also needs to be raised. At night, the water level can be appropriately deepened to keep warm and prevent cold.

2. Bloodworms like a slightly flowing water environment. If the water flow is too strong, it will easily carry away nutrients and eggs on the culture medium, and will also consume a large amount of the bloodworms' energy, so it is not conducive to increasing production. If the water flow is too small, it is also not conducive to the discharge of water and excrement, and the water quality is prone to deterioration, causing the death of bloodworms.

3. According to practical production, a water flow rate of 5-10 liters per second is a relatively suitable water flow environment. In addition, bloodworms are relatively sensitive to pesticides and harmful substances. During this period, water sprayed with pesticides and industrial wastewater must not be used for breeding.

4. Feeding bait

1. Bloodworms generally feed on organic debris in the soil, and especially like sweet and acidic bait. Poultry manure, domestic sewage and so on are all bait for bloodworms. In professional breeding sites, sawdust, rice bran, sludge, pigeon manure and other raw materials are generally fermented to make feed.

2. If it is household breeding, yeast powder soaked in water can be used for feeding. During this period, feed in small amounts and multiple times, which is conducive to increasing production. Generally, feed once every 3-4 days, with 50-100kg of manure fertilizer per mu each time, which can be mixed with water and evenly splashed over the whole pond.

3. When feeding, attention should be paid to the amount of residual bait. During this period, do not feed blindly in large amounts, so as to avoid too much organic matter in the water body, which can cause fermentation and produce toxic substances, affecting the production of bloodworms.
