Detailed Explanation of Maggot Breeding Methods and Technical Points

Maggots are mainly used as a raw material for feed processing. There are all kinds of farming industries nowadays, and many of them need feed with high protein content, while maggots themselves are a high-protein organism, so they are very important to other farming industries and the feed processing industry. A few years ago there was a wave of enthusiasm for maggot farming, but for various reasons the maggot farming industry was suspended and has remained at a low point. So today Qinnong.net will explain to everyone how they are bred.

1. Fly house construction

To raise maggots, you first need flies, since only then will maggots be produced. So the first thing we need to do is build a good fly house for raising flies. Flies are creatures that escape very easily, so the house needs a closed corridor, and it is best to make it a semi-basement model. Finally, black curtains should be hung on the doors; first, this can prevent the flies from escaping, and second, black curtains have a warming effect, which can promote the flies' growth rate and rapid reproduction.

2. Fly rearing management

We need to place food trays, egg-laying trays and hatching trays in the fly house. The feed for raising flies is basically brown sugar, yeast powder or some other foods, and it is generally best to choose things that flies prefer. Basically, feeding once a day is enough. Second, we also need to add a little chicken manure to the fly house every day, which can improve the flies' egg-laying efficiency. After the flies mate, the egg-laying trays should be put in promptly, then the egg-laying trays should be replaced promptly, and finally heat preservation treatment is all that is needed.

3. Maggot house construction

The maggot house is generally simple three-dimensional rearing, and either three-dimensional rearing racks or rearing basins can be used. If rearing is done directly indoors, then it is also best to use a semi-basement model. Second, the floor and walls all need to be plastered with cement, which can prevent the maggots from escaping. Finally, the three-dimensional racks can be built with cement and steel bars, with each layer about 30 cm high.

4. Maggot rearing management

We all know that maggots basically live by eating rotten food, so when rearing them we can put in some rotten food, or things like chicken manure and pig manure, and we also need to put in some coarse bran. The nutrient material must be put in sufficient quantity, because maggots have an extremely strong consuming ability. Second, the temperature of the rearing room must be adjusted, and it must not fluctuate between high and low. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure there is no accumulated water indoors.

5. Separation management

After about a week of rearing, we need to separate out the maggots, because generally maggots will slowly turn yellow after about a week, and if more time passes they are not very useful. Second, when separating, we should separate from the bottom, because maggots are very afraid of strong light. Finally, the nutrient material left after separation still retains part of its nutrients, so it can be used again. Lastly, the separated maggots only need to be rinsed clean before they can be processed.
