Heterometrus spinifer breeding method

Abstract

The invention discloses a heterometrus spinifer breeding method and belongs to the field of arthropod breeding study. The problems of low farrowing rate of female scorpion, low survival rate of young scorpion, difficulty in decrustation of young scorpion, death of adult scorpion and the like are solved. A heterometrus spinifer bred by the method is high in disease resistance, high in farrowing rate and high in growing speed, the survival rate is up to 95 percent, and the economic benefit is increased by 30 percent. The method comprises the following steps of selecting and breeding male scorpions, breeding and managing pregnant scorpions, breeding and managing young scorpions, performing daily management, preventing and controlling diseases, and preventing and controlling main natural enemy, wherein the indoor temperature is kept to be 32+ / -2 DEG C, the air humidity is kept to be between 70 and 80 percent, robust adult female scorpions and male scorpions are selected to be separately bred for 20 to 30 days, two female scorpions and a male scorpion are placed in a breeding room to copulate and propagate, the pregnant scorpion gives birth to young scorpions 4 to 6 months later, about 50 days after the young scorpions are born, the young scorpions are separated from the female scorpions, the density is that 200 to 250 young scorpions are contained in one box, the young scorpions which are 3 years old are grouped, and after being bred for 14 to 16 months, the young scorpions are grown into adult scorpions. Mycosis and bacterial wilt are prevented and controlled by enhancing daily management, and natural enemies, such as ants and geckos are prevented and controlled by taking effective measures.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of arthropod breeding research, and in particular relates to a breeding method for Asian rainforest scorpions. Background technique [0002] Asian rainforest scorpion ( Heterometrus spinifer ) also known as Asian forest scorpion, false emperor scorpion, East Asian rainforest scorpion, native to Malaysia and other Asian tropical rainforests, with a body length of 12-18 cm, mainly feed on insects, come out at night, are sensitive to temperature, and have a lifespan of 5 ~8 years, now mostly used as pets, has a certain medicinal value. In recent years, there have been few studies on the breeding of Asian rainforest scorpions. Researchers from China University of Geosciences have discovered a new class of antimicrobial peptides from the venom glands of Asian rainforest scorpions, which can inhibit the growth of gram-negative bacteria and gram-positive bacteria, and can also inhibit the growth of gram-negative bacteria an...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

As the market demand for Asian rainforest scorpions increases year by year, wild resources are gradually decreasing, and people begin to try artificial reproduction, but there are often low birth rate of female scorpions, low survival rate of young scorpions, difficulty in shedding young scorpions, and death of adult scorpions. technical challenge
