What conditions must be met for bullfrog cage culture?

Bullfrog is a very popular delicacy, with a delicious taste and tender meat; whether stir-fried over high heat or cooked in hot pot, it is a good choice. In recent years, bullfrog has become one of the more well-known species in aquaculture, and the scale of farming has been continuously expanding, and farming models have also made new breakthroughs. So what conditions are needed for bullfrog cage culture?

1. What conditions are needed for bullfrog cage culture?

1. Setting up the cage

For bullfrog cage culture, appropriate materials must be selected to make the cage. Generally, ordinary plastic mesh sheets and window screen stitching are quite suitable because they have very good water permeability. The specifications and shape of the cage should be determined according to the local farming environment. Usually, a rectangular shape is better, and the volume should not be too large; it is best not to exceed ten cubic meters. After the cage sheet is sewn, use wooden strips to tie it into a box frame and then fix it on the mesh sheet, fully stretched open. When placing the cage in the pond, ensure that the water level inside the cage is stable, then use a rope to fix it on the shore and tie it off with a rope so that it is not blown away by strong winds.

2. Farming density

Bullfrog cage culture can be carried out at high density. The general density is determined by the size of the bullfrogs. For juvenile bullfrogs, the general farming density is 50-200 per square meter, and for adult frogs, the density is about 80 to 100. Later, the bullfrogs should be graded by size according to their growth rate, so as to reduce the phenomenon of cannibalism caused by uneven sizes.

3. Reasonable feeding

After putting bullfrog seedlings into the cage, the amount to feed should be determined according to the number and size of the bullfrogs. One or more feeding trays can be placed.

At the same time, feeding bullfrogs should be determined according to the specific weather, the size of the bullfrogs, the specific water temperature, etc. The feeding time of the bullfrogs should be controlled and must not exceed one hour. Generally, they are fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

4. Do a good job of disinfection measures

Because the density of frogs in cage culture is very high and the bullfrogs are relatively concentrated, disinfection measures must be done well to reduce the occurrence of diseases.

2. What is the prospect of bullfrog farming?

Bullfrog is a special aquaculture species emerging in recent years from the adjustment of the agricultural industrial structure, and it is also a farming species with relatively high economic value. Because bullfrog farming has the advantages of fast growth, strong reproductive capacity, easy feeding, and very strong adaptability, it is deeply welcomed by the majority of farmers, and the farming prospect is also good at present. Because in addition to being eaten in its own country, it can also be exported to foreign countries and other places as processed products. Therefore, in the future, as long as the relevant farming techniques are mastered well, it should be a good money-making project.
