Prospects for artificial scorpion farming

Although scorpions are widely distributed in our country, with the prosperity of the traditional Chinese medicine market and the gradual development of scorpions' economic value by humans, the social demand for whole scorpions as a traditional precious medicinal material is increasing day by day.

On one hand, excessive artificial capture has caused the natural population to decline sharply; on the other hand, factors such as continuous destruction of the ecological environment and the large-scale use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers have led to the continuous deterioration of scorpions' natural living environment and a decline in food sources, intensifying the contradiction between social demand and output supply. Artificial scorpion farming meets people's needs and has very high farming prospects.
