Industrial breeding method of coptotermes formosanus

Abstract

The invention discloses an industrial breeding method of coptotermes formosanus. An adult white ant collection method is very similar to a swarming, pairing and breeding process of white ants under the natural condition; the whole collecting and pairing process is natural section of the white ants without manual interference; compared with the conventional method for collecting adult white ants, the method completely avoids damage to the white ants in the collection process, greatly increases the pairing success rate and ensures acquisition of novel groups of the white ants in large batches; a drawer type breeding space enlarging method avoids the damage to the ant groups caused by manual and direct transfer of the white ants, ensures the fungus resistance of the white ants and greatly reduces the death of the white ant groups caused by fungus infection.
