A Simple Method of Harvesting Ants for Bombyx mori Artificial Feed Breeding

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of home textiles, in particular to a method for collecting ants for artificial feed breeding of silkworms. The method for collecting ants that is used for silkworm artificial feed cultivation of the present invention comprises the following steps: (1) accelerating greening of silkworm eggs, (2) disinfecting loose seeds, (3) weighing ovum volume partitions, (4) feed treatment, (5) photosensitive Receiving ants (6) supplements light and heats up. On the basis of feed cultivation, according to the physiological development characteristics of silkworms, the present invention starts from the various technical links of ant harvesting, and optimizes the temperature and humidity control of each period of egg dispersal and acceleration, feed pretreatment, supplementary light and temperature, and artificial feed cultivation. The combination of scattering eggs on the feed and LED yellow warm light irradiation achieves a one-time fast, labor-saving, and efficient ant harvesting effect. It is suitable for mechanized ant harvesting and provides technical support for large-scale artificial feed breeding for small silkworms.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of silkworm breeding, in particular to a simple method for collecting ants for artificial feed breeding of silkworms. 【Background technique】 [0002] Sericulture is a labor-intensive traditional industry. With the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization in China, the contradiction between productivity and production relations has become increasingly prominent. Mechanization, informatization, and labor-saving are constantly being explored, and the silkworm artificial feed breeding model emerges accordingly. , saving labor and land resources, promoting the mechanization and industrialization of the sericulture industry, which is a qualitative leap. Ant harvesting technology is also a key and important link in silkworm artificial feed breeding. It is related to the number of ant silkworms collected, the physique of ant silkworms, the uniformity of silkworm development, the labor-saving oper...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, feed breeding in the south mostly uses flat seeds, often using the combination of baiting method, knocking down method and feather sweeping method, which has the following shortcomings: first, the operation is cumbersome and labor-intensive; second, the hatching rate is low and the hatching is not good Uniformity, resulting in a high proportion of silkworm head loss; third, ants and silkworms scatter around, consuming physical strength and being vulnerable to starvation; fourth, improper methods of collecting ants or excessive force, and ant bodies are easily injured; fifth, it takes a long time to collect ants , which is not conducive to the neat development of silkworm bodies; the sixth is that in flat-attached species harvesting ants, a piece of silkworm eggs is folded in half and divided into two, and cut with scissors, which will not only easily cause uneven frame division of silkworm eggs and uneven feeding , resulting in irregular development of silkworms and damage to silkworm eggs

[0004] In northern feed breeding, loose egg species are mostly used, and ant bags are commonly used to collect ants, which requires a lot of labor.

For example, when collecting ants, put an ant-collecting bag with the number of silkworm eggs with the silkworm facing up into the breeding box, spread the artificial feed evenly on the ant-collecting bag, and sprinkle the artificial feed, 30-60 Minutes later, take out the ant-collecting bag, arrange the artificial feed into a rectangular area, and cover it with a plastic sheet; this process requires a lot of manual labor and cannot be operated by mechanization

Difficult to achieve factory and large-scale production
