Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of insect breeding, and in particular relates to an amber silkworm breeding device and a use method. Background Art

[0002] Amber silkworm, Chinese name Antheraea assama, belongs to Lepidoptera, Saturniidae, Antheraea, distributed in many areas in southern my country, with the main activity period from April to October each year. The main distribution area of ​​amber silkworm in Yunnan Province. Amber silkworm is an important economic insect, and its silk is an important wild silk. Compared with domestic silkworm silk, amber silk has the characteristics of metallic luster and wear resistance, as well as better strength and stronger hygroscopicity. Amber silkworm is naturally distributed in a relatively small geographical range. Due to the destruction of wild habitats and the damage caused by pests and diseases, its population has gradually declined. Due to the limitation of geographical location, it is forced to breed inbreeding, and the individual fitness has decreased. Under the influence of multiple factors, the population size of this precious resource is gradually shrinking. At the same time, it has been difficult to make a major breakthrough in the breeding of domestic silkworms for many years, so the protection and research and utilization of amber silkworms are becoming more and more urgent. As amber silkworm is the most promising silk insect resource, it is necessary to carry out breeding research on it.

[0003] At present, the breeding and expansion of amber silkworms and the industry are almost blank in China, and the research is in the initial stage. At present, there are two ways to raise amber silkworms: outdoor grazing and indoor artificial breeding. When conducting indoor qualitative research on amber silkworms, the indoor artificial breeding method is mostly used. The current breeding method adopts the method of feeding by cutting branches, but if the branches are placed in an open space, the branches are very easy to wilt. After the leaves wilt, the larvae's food intake decreases, affecting their growth and health. At the same time, the young amber silkworm larvae have a small food intake, and the leaves have a short storage time. The branches must be replaced frequently, which is cumbersome and requires a lot of labor, seriously affecting the breeding efficiency. If a smaller breeding box is used, more manpower is required. Each box needs to replace the branches in a centralized manner after a period of time, and a lot of manpower is required in the specific operation. In addition, traditional breeding boxes mostly use ordinary plastic boxes, and there are too few air holes, resulting in poor air circulation in the breeding box, and the larvae are easy to die. If the entire gauze cage structure is used, it will be difficult to keep moisture and wilt too quickly. In addition, indoor breeding currently mostly adopts the method of inserting branches into water bottles, but if the water in the water bottle is not changed for 2-3 days, it will easily become smelly, and the replacement operation makes people feel uncomfortable. In addition, the insertion bottle and water must be replaced every time the branches are changed, which is very inconvenient. It is urgent for those skilled in the art to propose a breeding device and breeding method that is simple to operate, easy to handle, high in breeding efficiency, and takes into account the growth needs of amber silkworms and has a stable environment.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] Effects of rearing methods on host replacement time of the amber silkworm

[0061] Amber silkworms for testing: The amber silkworms for testing were raised for many generations in the resource silkworm seed factory of the Institute of Sericulture and Bees of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The seed cocoons of the same batch of pupation were selected before the test. After the amber silkworms emerge in the seed production room, the male and female are paired for mating. After mating, the female adults are transferred to the egg-laying box and allowed to lay eggs for 5 days. The eggs are soaked in 5% formaldehyde solution for 30 seconds and then rinsed with clean water 4-5 times. The sterilized amber silkworm eggs are placed in a climate box and taken out after the silkworm eggs develop for 7 days.

[0062] Statistics of host replacement time: host branches were placed in the host plants, and 10 groups were raised under each condition. The replacement time of camphor trees was based on obvious wilting of leaves, water loss, and reduced larval feeding. Based on the above standards, the earliest replacement time and the latest replacement time interval were counted.

[0063] Statistics of host replacement time: host branches were placed in the host plants, and 10 groups were raised under each condition. The replacement time of camphor trees was based on obvious wilting of leaves, water loss, and reduced larval feeding. Based on the above standards, the earliest replacement time and the latest replacement time interval were counted.

[0064] Test results: The above test results show that after using camphor trees to raise amber silkworms 1-5 instar larvae under two conditions, the replacement time of camphor tree branches raised in net cages is generally shorter than that of the present invention. The replacement time of net cages is generally 1-3 days, while the replacement time of hosts raised by the present invention is 3-5 days (Table 1). Both conditions are carried out in the same environment, but the conditions in the breeding box are small. The net cage breeding has poor moisture retention conditions, and the leaves wilt quickly, which is similar to raising them in the open indoors. The breeding of the present invention has more stable conditions inside, which is less affected by changes in external conditions, and the amber silkworm hosts can be preserved for a longer time.

[0068] Example 4

[0069] Comparison of feeding conditions under different feeding methods

[0070] The disinfection method for the tested amber silkworms and silkworm eggs was the same as that in Example 3.

[0071] The experiment was carried out under two conditions: condition one was to insert camphor tree branches into a plastic water bottle, put into an insect cage, and raise the insects indoors, with camphor tree branches replaced regularly; condition two was to use camphor tree branches to raise insects in the device of the present invention, raise the insects in the same room, and replace the camphor tree branches regularly. The indoor temperature, humidity and other conditions were the same under the two conditions.

[0072] During the experiment, relevant experimental issues were recorded at any time, mainly recording the convenience of replacing the cutting bottle, the water condition of the cutting bottle, the convenience of feces cleaning, and the condition of the leaves during breeding.

[0073] Test results: Under the two conditions, the main situations in the above feeding were recorded and found that if the host is changed during the cage feeding, the water in the bottle needs to be taken out and replaced at the same time as the host, and needs to be replaced many times during the feeding process, because each time the host is changed, it needs to be replaced once (Table 2). And if the water in the bottle is not inserted for many days in the cage feeding, it is easier to grow bacterial film because the water does not flow in it, which indirectly affects the health of the silkworms; and if the feces need to be cleaned, it is difficult to clean it every time because the feces in the cage are at the bottom of the cage, and even pollute the entire cage. At the same time, the cage is similar to the indoor conditions, and the cage itself is difficult to keep moist and ventilate at the same time, which is limited by environmental conditions. However, the feeding of the present invention does not require the replacement of the bottle, so it is not necessary to take out the bottle separately to affect the host; at the same time, the water in the bottle can be replaced in time to keep the new water will deteriorate, and there is a special storage box when cleaning the feces, which only needs to be drawn out and poured out separately for easy cleaning. The present invention has a ventilation and humidification device, and the interval use maintains the basic conditions in the feeding device stable, and the feeding device can be used in a variety of environments.

[0077] Example 5

[0078] Effects of different feeding methods on larval survival rate

[0079] The disinfection method for the tested amber silkworms and silkworm eggs was the same as that in Example 3.

[0080] The experiment was carried out under two conditions: condition one was to insert camphor tree branches into a plastic water bottle, put into an insect cage, and raise the insects indoors, with camphor tree branches replaced regularly; condition two was to use camphor tree branches to raise insects in the device of the present invention, raise the insects in the same room, and replace the camphor tree branches regularly. The indoor temperature, humidity and other conditions were the same under the two conditions.

[0081] The total number of amber silkworm larvae of different ages is counted when they are hatched, and they are allowed to feed and grow on the host plant. The age and survival status of the larvae are counted every 2 days. When the larvae reach the next instar, the number of remaining larvae is counted. Larval survival rate (%) = number of silkworms hatched in the next instar / number of silkworms hatched in this instar.

[0082] Test results: The above test results show that among the 1-5 instar larvae of amber silkworms raised indoors with camphor tree branches, the survival rate of the cage-raised larvae is generally lower than that of the present invention, especially the survival rate of the 1-3 instar larvae is 70.67%-85.67% in the cage-raised larvae, while the survival rate of the method of raising the present invention is 83.67%-90.00%. The 4-5 instar larvae have a large body size and high stress resistance, and the survival rate is close (Table 3). The 1-3 instar larvae are low-age larvae, which are more sensitive to changes in environmental conditions and are more easily affected by changes in environmental conditions. The larvae eat less after the leaves wilt, while the structure of the present invention has a ventilation and humidification structure to maintain stable internal conditions. At the same time, when using the cage-raised larvae, some larvae are prone to fall into feces and are difficult to climb out, resulting in a deterioration of the state until death, affecting the survival rate. However, due to the feces separation structure adopted by the present invention, the larvae fall onto the screen and return to the leaves along the climbing net to continue feeding, thereby improving the survival rate of the larvae.
