Artificial centipede breeding, from capturing adult centipedes for egg-laying, hatching until providing medicinal use, takes 2-3 years. The medicinal processing technique for centipedes involves using the entire dried body. After capture, they are boiled in hot water to kill them, then a finely pointed bamboo skewer is inserted into both the head and tail sections. Using the elasticity of the bamboo, the centipede is stretched out straight and dried under the sun. After processing and preparation, the centipede appears as a flat, elongated shape, approximately 14-16 cm long and 0.6-1.0 cm wide, with a total of 22 segments; the last segment being smaller and referred to as the "tail." The head is reddish-brown with one pair each of tactile organs and venomous hooks; the back is dark brown and glossy with two raised ridges; the abdomen is yellowish-brown and shriveled. Each segment has one pair of legs that are yellowish-red, curved backward, with the last segment resembling a thorn. It emits a fishy odor, along with a special pungent smell, and tastes acrid and slightly salty. Inside the centipede's body are two toxic components similar to bee venom, namely histamine-like substances and hemolytic proteins. In addition, it contains tyrosine, leucine, formic acid, fatty oils, cholesterol, etc. Medicinal centipedes have the functions of calming wind and spasms, as well as reducing swelling and detoxifying. They are mainly used for treating infantile convulsions, tetanus, seizures, facial paralysis, lymph node tuberculosis, abscesses, and ulcers. In recent years, it has been discovered that centipedes can be used to treat tumors. Under artificial feeding conditions, the body length of centipedes can reach the small medicinal standard (8 cm) within two years, and after two years, it approaches the large standard.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the hatching tank should be watered appropriately at the right time. When adding water, it should be slowly poured along the wall of the tank so that the inner walls around the hatching nest are slightly moist. Do not sprinkle water directly into the nest or allow excessive humidity inside. After hatching, although young centipedes temporarily gather in clusters, they can also move and search for food independently. At this time, the female gradually leaves the hatching nest and moves independently. Due to centipedes' tendency to fight over food and larger ones eating smaller ones, the females should be promptly removed or the young separated for independent rearing.
The agricultural science and technology for centipede farming at Huazhong Agricultural University is top-notch, with strong market demand. Hatching tanks indoors should be pre-positioned, and once ovulation occurs, they should not be easily moved. Observers should handle carefully, avoiding random movement of covering glass plates (tiles) and avoid shining flashlights. Feeding is unnecessary during hatching, but since this is the height of summer, if the humidity in the hatching nest is too low, it will affect the normal development of the embryo and individual growth patterns.
Supported by Huazhong Agricultural University: A key university under the national "211 Project" - Huazhong Agricultural University collaborates with Wuhan Agri-Science & Technology Bioengineering Co., Ltd. to jointly research and develop advanced centipede farming techniques aimed at promoting scientific agriculture and enriching farmers through technology. The Jinhua No.2 Golden Head Centipede developed by Huimin.
Advanced technical advantages: Through many years of breeding observation, multiple biological experts and professors of bioengineering from Wuhan Agri-Science & Technology Bioengineering Co., Ltd. and Huazhong Agricultural University have utilized gene improvement engineering to cultivate a new generation variety - the Jinhua No.2 Golden Head Centipede. After observation, this variety is easy to breed, gentle in nature, strong in adaptability, grows quickly, has a high reproduction rate, better medicinal value, and more significant economic benefits, making it an ideal investment project for many in the farming industry.
