Artificial ants breeding
Artificial ants breeding
First, can ants artificially breed?
There are about 2000 kinds of ants in our country, and about 600 of them have been identified. With the approval of the Ministry of Health, only one kind of ant ant can be used for medicine and food. Artificial breeding of ants requires suitable sites, temperatures, and humidity to facilitate the environment in which ants live. Ants reared must undergo nutritional and pharmacological analysis before they can determine whether they can eat or use medicinal herbs, so not all breeds can be farmed. Relevant experts pointed out that it is appropriate to choose artificial burrowing ants (black spiky ants) for artificial breeding.
Second, what kind of venues do artificial breeding ants need?
Empty rooms, huts, hillside woodland can be raised ants. Indoor feeding keeps the air fresh, clean and sanitary, and the degree of sealing is better. It is necessary to prevent the infestation of ticks, mice, cockroaches and other miscellaneous ants.
What are the methods for artificially breeding ants?
1. Plastic greenhouse cultivation method. The plastic greenhouse is 20 meters long, 3 meters wide and 2 meters high. The roof is arc-shaped, and a wooden frame is placed in the shed. The branches are cut and the bamboo tube is connected. There are channels on both sides. A sink with a depth of 20 centimeters and a width of 25 centimeters can prevent ants from running away and can also prevent rat damage. Planting flowers and vegetables on the ground. In winter, we can add straw, warm, and pay attention to ventilation in the summer. Grasp the temperature and humidity.
2. Bed pool method. Made of reinforced concrete board racks on the bricks made of bed frames, and then made of brick walls or partitions into pools. There is a glass plate on the front wall of the pool, a sealed screen door on the pool, and a small openable window in the door for feeding. 10-15 cm thick bed humus sand loam soil, leaves, etc., humidity maintained at 10% -15%, the surface of the basin to eat.
3. Cylinder method. With a cylinder height of about 1.5 meters, the bottom shop 10-15 cm thick humus sand loam, leaves and so on. The cylinder head can be made with window screening or gauze or can be covered directly. At 20 cm from the bottom of the cylinder, an arc-shaped baffle was nailed with a wooden bar, and the ant nest and the food bowl were placed on the baffle.
4. Indoor law. The indoor floor covers 10-15 cm thick soil, and then uses bricks, tiles, stone barriers and a few rockery, indoor corners and central food bowl, doors and windows should be strict.
5. Courtyard pool culture method. This law applies to the cultivation of the family courtyard. Generally, 4-9 square meters of square ground is called out in outdoor open space, known as the Formic Island, with a ditch around it. The depth of the ditch is 15-20 centimeters in width and 20-25 centimeters in width. The gutter wall and the bottom are poured with concrete and sandstone concrete. The ditch is filled with water for a long time to provide isolation and prevent the ant colony from escaping. Formic islands require loose soil, usually with slightly acidic yellow mud. Each island is equipped with 2-3 nests. The ant nest is partially buried under the soil. Most of the ant nests are exposed on the soil surface. Rain and moisturizing.
6. Forest stocking law. The woodland on the hillside facing the south is sunny, and the soil is preferably slightly acidic red-yellow loam. There are pine forests or mixed forests as ground cover plants. There are abundant insect resources and the area is more than 5 mu. Ten nests per mus can be placed in nests, nest spacing more than 5 meters. Ant nests can be placed on twigs of Masson pine or grass and on mud. The nesting site should be marked for easy searching and inspection.
Fourth, artificial feed ants what feed?
At present, the main feeding is mainly the sting burrowing ants. Dingtuodai is a highly omnivorous species that can be fed with rice bran, wheat bran, beans, molasses, fruits, and animal feeders: fish meal, silkworm cocoon, eggs, live insects, etc., as well as chicken feed. Self-made feed.
5. How do artificially reared ants feed themselves?
Self-alcoholic feed reference recipes: 5 g agar, 1 egg, 62 ml honey, 249 mg multivitamins, 0.64% methylparaben, and 0.16% p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Take agar dissolved in 250 ml boiling water, dissolve the remaining ingredients in 250 ml of water, and stir at 2000 rpm for 3 minutes. Stir the agar and stir it in a Petri dish. After solidification, cut into 18 mm. See small pieces for your spare.
Sixth, how do artificial feeding ants feed?
Ant food intake is about 0.1 milligrams per day. When feeding, it should be fed less frequently to feed 90% of the feed. If the amount of feed is too low, it can cause buckets, causing excessive waste. The feed to be fed must be fresh and free of mildew. When feeding honey, be sure to dilute and cast star spots. Feeding compounded feeds can accelerate ant colony reproduction.
7. What is the temperature and humidity range of artificially fed ants?
Temperature: 25-32 °C is appropriate, hibernation below 10 °C. Humidity: Air humidity is 10% to 15%. The soil is changed every 2-3 months. The new soil must be dried, hot, fried, and sieved to take fine soil.
Eight, how did the artificially raised ants overwinter?
1. Light bulb method. Raising beds, cylinders are sealed with plastic sheds, and incandescent bulbs are suspended inside the shed. The power can be determined by the size of the ant chamber.
2. The stove method. Using wood chip furnaces, coal stoves, etc. to heat the ant room through the flue (no smoke is allowed to leak) to ensure normal breeding activities of the ant colony.
Nine, how to introduce artificially released ants?
The dinosaur is a “social insect†of the genus. The group lives in the masson pine forest in the loess hilly region. It lives in the ant nest all year round, and mainly prey on small insects. For general introduction, the nest or group should be used as the unit to maintain the integrity of the group members. The ant colonies can be nested together in an open cage and the open place can be covered with a gauze that is ventilated. The bottom of the container is properly placed on wet soil to maintain the humidity, and Cast a small amount of mealworms, bran flakes and other food materials.
Ningxia black wolfberry is named "Qiao Ni Ying Er Ma Ge" and Tibetan medicine named "Pang Ma", belonging to Lycium barbarum. For many thorny shrubs, many branches, hard branches, often curved, white. It is distributed in several provinces of Northwest China and Northwest China and Tibet and Europe. Black berry and Lycium barbarum are sweet and plain, rich in protein, Lycium barbarum polysaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and other nutrients. It also contains rich black fruit pigment - natural procyanidin (red fruit Lycium barbarum), and its OPC content exceeds Blueberry (OPC3690mg/100g of black fruit Lycium barbarum and blueberry OPC330 to 3380mg/100g). So far, the natural wild plant with the highest OPC content has been found. Proanthocyanidin OPC is the most effective natural water-soluble free radical scavenger. Its efficacy is 20 times that of Vc and 50 times of VE. The black wolfberry is known as the "blue demon" in the wild.
