What are the leech farming models? A detailed explanation of common methods

Leeches are mostly found in rice paddy areas in China and are a freshwater organism with high medicinal value. At present, because their market price is relatively high, a large number of farmers have entered this industry, so how many farming models are leeches generally divided into? Today Qinnong.com will introduce them to everyone so you can have some understanding.

1. High-simulation natural farming

This is a relatively common farming model. The key point is to imitate the leech's innate living habits and carry out semi-wild management, thereby achieving the effect of improving leech quality and yield. Ordinary fields and fish ponds can all be used for farming. The general layout is ditch-shaped, with the sunken parts used for farming and the raised parts used as places for daily management. Some weeds should be left appropriately in the middle of the pond, the water should be changed frequently, and a certain amount of feed needs to be provided daily. The cost-effectiveness is relatively high, and it is also quite suitable for beginners to farm.

2. Cement pond farming

The investment cost is relatively high, and fine management is carried out to achieve high quality and high yield. First, you need to build the rearing pond yourself. The pond does not need to be too deep; about one meter is roughly enough. Measures for preventing leakage and maintaining flowing water must be done well. The bottom of the pond does not need to retain very deep silt. There must be a certain amount of shading measures above the pond, and daily management needs to be in place. Especially in the area of preventing escape, you must be very careful. Generally, the returns in the later period will become higher and higher, making it suitable for those who plan to farm long term and have technical skills.

3. Artificial cage farming

This was developed by imitating marine organism farming methods and is suitable for places rich in aquatic microorganisms. The key point is to rely on rich aquatic nutrients to achieve a fattening effect, thereby realizing high income. Generally, the water depth is about 70-100 cm. Some aquatic organisms must be placed appropriately above the cage to avoid excessive direct sunlight on the water surface. Cages that have been used must be replaced the next year to avoid harming the leeches. Secondly, the leeches placed into the cages must be ones that have already been cultivated for a period of time by yourself and have passed the seedling stage, so that the survival rate can be effectively ensured.

4. Mixed farming of leeches and plants

This is generally used in places with a relatively large water area and relatively poor farming benefits. The advantage of this is that it can provide leeches with abundant food and increase yield. Secondly, because the species is single, it will reduce the incidence of disease in leeches, and daily maintenance can also purify the water quality, making the leeches' living environment better. Finally, it helps increase sources of income and raise additional earnings. This method means that when applying fertilizer, you must pay close attention to the strength of its irritancy to avoid harming the leeches.

The above are the several models for farming leeches. Everyone can choose a farming method according to their own actual situation. If you are also interested in other aspects of leeches, you can follow our website, and more wonderful information will be updated at any time.
