How to Raise Crayfish in Winter? Key Points of Winter Farming Techniques

Low winter temperatures restrict many planting and farming operations, and crayfish is one of them. So how do you raise crayfish in winter?

How to raise crayfish in winter?

1. Regulate water quality

When raising crayfish in winter, controlling water quality is a key factor, and at this time water quality must be regulated promptly. If the farming site is in a rice field, the rice straw should be treated in a pollution-free way, which can effectively improve the fertility of the water quality, increase the activity in the water, and give the crayfish a relatively comfortable growing environment. If farming is done in a pond, rapeseed meal should be splashed into the pond to increase the nutrient content of the water, and it can also increase oils so as to increase the intensity of sunlight and raise the water temperature somewhat.

2. Plant aquatic plants

Planting aquatic plants is an indispensable step when raising crayfish, and in winter aquatic plants are also crucial to crayfish, because aquatic plants can increase the oxygen content in the water, raise the activity level of the water, and also provide a place for crayfish to rest. They can also provide a certain amount of insulation, thereby promoting the growth and development of crayfish, but there should not be too many aquatic plants.

3. Feeding

When it is cold, crayfish eat less, so we need to carry out feeding work reasonably. At this time, some feed should be given promptly, which can strengthen the crayfish's constitution and ensure that it can survive the winter safely; generally the feed given is mainly soybean meal powder.

4. Daily management

When raising crayfish in winter, inspection work should be strengthened, and the water temperature and the pH value of the water should be well controlled.
