Centipede Farming Prospect Analysis: Market Potential and Development Space
AbstractThe prospects for centipede farming are still quite good, because its medicinal value is very high. It is now a common traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to being popular in our country, people abroad are also very fond of it. At present, the export volume is very large, and demand exceeds supply. It also has high dietary therapy value, and after consumption it has certain anti-cancer value and so on. Moreover, for farming centipedes, once certain standards are reached, the state also provides certain support subsidies.
In fact, the prospects for centipede farming are still very good, mainly reflected in the following points:
1. Medicinal value
Although the centipede looks rather frightening, it is a relatively famous traditional Chinese medicine. It is also deeply favored by many people abroad. Our country is now already a major exporter of centipedes, and international demand is very large.
2. Dietary therapy value
Centipedes can also be eaten. Many people now like to enjoy them deep-fried, grilled, or in soup. After eating centipedes, there are benefits such as tonifying yang and anti-cancer effects. This dietary therapy method is already very popular in our country.
3. Large market, high price
Using centipedes as medicine has now become a relatively common practice. Wild centipedes simply cannot meet people's needs, so many people now farm them artificially. Moreover, the price of centipedes basically rises every year. From a few cents in the past to the current market price of about 2 yuan each, they are still often in short supply.
4. Policy support
Our country now provides certain support for the breeding industry, and centipede farming is no exception. Especially for some people who have difficulty finding employment or who have been laid off, if they choose to farm, the state provides certain corresponding subsidies, so choosing this is also not bad.
How to farm centipedes
1. Build a farming pond
Centipedes cannot swim, so when farming them, the farming area can be designed as a water-exchange farming pond, which can effectively prevent them from escaping. Glass can also be chosen for farming, and a farming pond also needs to be set up inside.
2. Farming
Before farming centipedes, it is necessary to choose relatively robust centipedes without injuries or disabilities for farming. Attention must be paid to the farming density. If it is too high, it may make life difficult for the centipedes. Generally, about 300 centipedes can be farmed per square meter.
3. Feeding
The centipede is a carnivorous animal. It especially loves to eat meat-eating animals. Common insects such as yellow mealworms, cockroaches, and crickets are all suitable for feeding it. In addition, some plant tender sprouts or stems and leaves can also be used for feeding, which is also a good choice.
