Method for artificially breeding locusts and collecting locust eggs

Abstract

The invention provides a method for artificially breeding locusts and collecting locust eggs and belongs to the technical field of artificial insect breeding. The method for artificially breeding thelocusts and collecting the locust eggs comprises the following steps that locust larvae are bred in the environment with the temperature of 27-30 DEG C, the humidity of 50-60% and the light period of15-16 L:8-9 D, a plastic cup filled with vermiculite is placed in the breeding environment at the same time, the humidity of the vermiculite is kept within 10-15 wt%, the locust larvae are bred on time, and adult locusts are obtained; the adult locusts lay the locust eggs in the vermiculite of the plastic cup, the plastic cup filled with the vermiculite is taken out 3-4 days after laying, the vermiculite in the plastic cup is pinched, loosened and screened, parts on a screen are collected, and complete locust egg masses are obtained. According to the method for artificially breeding the locusts and collecting the locust eggs, the generation number of the bred locusts can be increased within one year, the number of the egg masses is increased, the integrity of the egg masses during collection of the locust eggs is improved at the same time, and accordingly the aim of increasing the collection rate of the locust eggs is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of artificial feeding of insects, and in particular relates to a method for artificial feeding of locusts and collecting locust eggs. Background technique [0002] Grasshopper scientific name locust, oviparous, belongs to Insecta Orthoptera Acrididae. Locusts are rich in eating methods and medicinal value. Locusts are rich in chitin, which is known as the sixth element of human life. Chitin can eliminate toxins in the body and achieve the effect of detoxification and beauty. The protein content of locusts is as high as 74.88%, the fat content is 5.25%, and the carbohydrate content is 4.77%. It also contains 18 kinds of amino acids, a variety of active substances, vitamins A, B, C, E and phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, etc. It is an ideal high-nutrition health food, and it can also be used as a substitute for fish meal and bone meal, and it is a high-quality insect feed. In addition, locusts als...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, locusts are often raised in greenhouses during the breeding process. The amount of locust larvae obtained per unit area is small, and feed waste is serious. At most three generations can be completed in a year, the number of reproductive generations is low, and the total egg production in a year is low, which greatly restricts the experiment. The need for locusts with insects and bioassays
