Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of artificial cultivation of medicinal insects, in particular to a method for artificially feeding host bat moth larvae of Cordyceps sinensis. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cordyceps sinensis is a famous traditional Chinese medicinal material, which is formed by Cordyceps sinensis invading bat moth larvae and growing in the body of the larvae. Its unique medicinal value leads to overexploitation of the market, resulting in wild resources being close to exhaustion and the ecological environment being severely damaged. Therefore, realizing artificial large-scale cultivation of Cordyceps sinensis is a sustainable way to solve the resource shortage and protect the ecology.

[0003] The core difficulty of artificial cultivation of Cordyceps sinensis lies in large-scale and high-survival-rate artificial feeding of its specific host, bat moth larvae. The existing technology often faces the following problems in feeding bat moth larvae: low survival rate of larvae: improper control of soil microenvironment (temperature, humidity, microbial community, physicochemical properties), resulting in a large number of deaths of larvae; long growth cycle: unbalanced or poor palatability of feed, delaying development; frequent diseases: under high-density feeding conditions, bacterial and fungal diseases are prone to outbreak, and the control means are limited and easy to cause drug residues; extensive management: feed is easily contaminated, frequently replaced, environmental regulation relies on experience, and it is difficult to standardize and scale.

[0004] Some existing technologies attempt to improve the survival rate by adding probiotics, but there are still problems such as insufficient environmental control precision and serious feed contamination. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new feeding system and method that can simulate natural habitat, achieve stable environment, clean feed and efficient management. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for artificially feeding bat moth larvae, which can significantly improve the survival rate and health of bat moth larvae, shorten the growth cycle, and facilitate large-scale management.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the application, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present application provides a method for artificially feeding host bat moth larvae of Cordyceps sinensis, comprising the following steps:

[0021] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0022] The application provides a method for artificially breeding host bat moth larvae of Ophiocordyceps sinensis, which sets up three layers (shelter layer, feed layer and activity layer), each of which plays its own role and cooperates with each other, so that the natural ecological niche of the larvae is simulated to the maximum, and core problems such as environmental fluctuation, feed pollution and cross infection of diseases are solved, and the survival rate is expected to be increased to more than 85%.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The application provides a method for artificially breeding host bat moth larvae of Ophiocordyceps sinensis, which comprises the following steps:

[0026] S1. Constructing three layers from bottom to top in the independent small chamber: underground shelter and moisture retention layer, artificial feed slow-release layer and surface humus activity layer;

[0027] S2. Breeding the bat moth larvae in the small chamber one by one; the breeding mode is single culture by using the conjoined culture plate, and the size of each small chamber is 5-6*5-6*8-10 cm, preferably 5.5*5.5*9 cm; which effectively prevents the adjacent larvae from interfering and biting each other, and realizes the unification of single individual breeding in physical isolation and high-density breeding in space utilization;

[0028] S3. Environmental control: the temperature is 10-18 DEG C, and the humidity is 75-85 %;

[0029] S4. Breeding management: dynamically feeding the artificial feed slow-release and cleaning the feces.

[0030] In the application, the underground shelter and moisture retention layer is made by mixing perlite, peat and superabsorbent resin at a weight ratio of 40-50:40-50:0.5-1;

[0031] After the perlite, peat and superabsorbent resin are mixed, they need to be placed in an oven for dry heat sterilization at 130 DEG C for 2 hours, and then sterile water is sprayed to adjust the humidity;

[0032] The weight ratio of the perlite, peat and super absorbent resin is preferably 43-47:43-47:0.7-0.8, and further preferably 45:45:0.75;

[0033] The underground shelter and moisture layer provides an extremely stable underground shelter for the larva molting and dormancy; the excellent water retention and acidic bacteriostatic environment of the peat, the excellent air permeability of the perlite, and the addition of the SAP which can efficiently absorb and lock the excess water and slowly release it when the environment is dry, like a "micro-reservoir", the three together build a stable and healthy underground micro-ecological environment, the humidity fluctuation range can be controlled within ±2%, providing an extremely stable underground shelter for the larva molting and dormancy, greatly promoting the smooth molting and healthy growth of the larva.

[0034] In the present application, the laying thickness of the underground shelter and moisture layer is 2.5-3.5 cm, preferably 2.8-3.2 cm, and further preferably 3.0 cm; the humidity of the underground shelter and moisture layer is 50-60%, preferably 53-57%, and further preferably 55%.

[0035] In the present application, the artificial feed slow-release layer comprises artificial feed slow-release blocks.

[0036] The artificial feed slow-release blocks slowly release nutrients under the action of substrate humidity and can maintain their shape; avoiding the problems of powder or small block feed being easily contaminated, hardened and fermented in a humid environment. The larvae will drill and eat the slow-release blocks from the first layer downwards, which is more similar to their behavior of gnawing plant roots in nature; this design greatly reduces the frequency of feed replacement, reduces labor costs and disturbs the opening.

[0037] In the present application, the artificial feed slow-release blocks are obtained by mixing artificial feed and sodium alginate at a mass-volume ratio of 1g:0.8-1.2ml and then cross-linking and solidifying;

[0038] The mass-volume ratio of the artificial feed and sodium alginate is preferably 1g:0.9-1.1ml, and further preferably 1g:1ml;

[0039] The method for cross-linking and solidifying is that the artificial feed and sodium alginate are mixed, then injected into a mold, and cross-linked and solidified with a calcium chloride solution;

[0040] Before mixing, the artificial feed needs to be sterilized by cobalt-60 radiation (8kGy dose);

[0041] The artificial feed slow-release blocks need to be immersed in a 0.5% hypochlorous acid solution for 1min for disinfection before being put in, rinsed with sterile water and dried.

[0042] In the present application, the initial concentration of sodium alginate is 3-7 wt%, preferably 4-6 wt%, and further preferably 5 wt%.

[0043] In the present application, the artificial feed comprises the following components by weight:

[0044] Knoxia valericata powder 15-25 parts, preferably 18-22 parts, and further preferably 20 parts;

[0045] Radix Astragali rhizome powder 10-20 parts, preferably 13-17 parts, and further preferably 15 parts;

[0047] Wheat bran 5-15 parts, preferably 8-12 parts, and further preferably 10 parts;

[0048] Silkworm chrysalis powder 5-10 parts, preferably 8-12 parts, and further preferably 10 parts;

[0049] Yeast powder 3-8 parts, preferably 5-6 parts, and further preferably 5.5 parts;

[0050] Sucrose 2-5 parts, preferably 3-4 parts, and further preferably 3.5 parts;

[0051] Curcumin 0.1-0.5 parts, preferably 0.2-0.4 parts, and further preferably 0.3 parts;

[0052] Compound vitamins 0.5-1.5 parts, preferably 0.8-1.2 parts, and further preferably 1 part;

[0053] Mineral salts 0.5-1.5 parts, preferably 0.8-1.2 parts, and further preferably 1 part;

[0054] Nipagin ethyl 0.05-0.15 parts, preferably 0.08-0.12 parts, and further preferably 0.1 parts;

[0055] Water 35-45 parts, preferably 38-42 parts, and further preferably 40 parts.

[0056] In the present application, the surface humus active layer is made by mixing coconut coir, perlite, composted oak leaf powder, and vermicompost in a weight ratio of 50-60:20-30:15-20:5-10, and an observation hole is reserved;

[0057] After mixing coconut coir, perlite, composted oak leaf powder, and vermicompost, they need to be placed in a 65°C oven for indirect pasteurization (4h each time, 12h interval, repeated twice), and then sprayed with sterile water to adjust the humidity;

[0058] The weight ratio of the coconut husk, perlite, rotten oak leaf powder and earthworm manure is preferably 53-57:23-27:17-18:7-8, and further preferably 55:25:17.5:7.5;

[0059] The diameter of the observation hole is 0.8-1.2 cm, preferably 0.9-1.1 cm, and further preferably 1 cm;

[0060] The loose structure of the surface humus active layer simulates the natural surface, induces the larvae to move and forage (feed) on the surface of the layer, and discharges excrement, and the porosity ensures good air permeability and avoids mold caused by water vapor accumulation in the lower layer; at the same time, the layer separates the larvae from the feed in the lower layer, forcing the larvae to actively forage on the surface, facilitating observation of foraging and cleaning of residual feed, and solving the pain points of feed contamination and difficulty in cleaning.

[0061] In the present application, the laying thickness of the surface humus active layer is 2-3 cm, preferably 2.3-2.7 cm, and further preferably 2.5 cm;

[0062] The humidity of the surface humus active layer is 30-40%, preferably 33-37%, and further preferably 35%.

[0063] In the present application, the dynamic feeding method of the artificial feed slow-release block is: initially laying 2.0-3.0 g of the artificial feed slow-release block; during the feeding process, the consumption is checked regularly, and when the consumption rate reaches 40-50%, 0.5-1.5 g of the artificial feed slow-release block is fed through the observation hole;

[0064] The amount of the initially laid artificial feed slow-release block is preferably 2.3-2.7 g, and further preferably 2.5 g;

[0065] The consumption rate is preferably 43-47%, and further preferably 55%; and the supplementary feeding amount is preferably 0.8-1.2 g, and further preferably 1 g.
