Modern medical tests have proven that centipedes contain two effective components similar to bee venom, namely histamine-like substances and hemolytic proteins. In addition, they also contain tyrosine, leucine, formic acid, fatty oils, cholesterol, etc. It has varying degrees of inhibitory effects on convulsions caused by Cardiazol, pure alkaloids, and strychnine alkaloids. It also has inhibitory effects on various skin fungi and the ability to inhibit and kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Centipedes are used in traditional Chinese medicine for their functions of calming wind, stopping convulsions, attacking toxins, and dispersing nodules. They are mainly used to treat children's convulsions, tetanus, seizures, facial paralysis, lymph node tuberculosis, abscesses, ulcers, etc. Centipedes were first recorded in the "Shennong Bencao Jing" and are a traditionally used Chinese herb with a long history of medicinal use. The highly effective "Golden Headed Centipede," known for its unique therapeutic effects, complete physical form, and fresh luster, enjoys a prestigious reputation both domestically and internationally. Modern research has proven that centipedes contain histamine-like substances, hemolytic proteins, multiple amino acids, formic acid, fatty oils, cholesterones, as well as orange pigments, yellow pigments, and pale blue-green pigments. Their poison glands secrete two types of venom: one method involves cutting off the jaw limbs and immediately collecting the venom with a glass capillary tube; another method uses electrical stimulation with a multi-functional pharmacological instrument, continuously stimulating with a frequency of 128Hz~20V~4m. During the stimulation process, the adult centipede's last leg on the right is connected to the stimulation output end using an alligator clip, while the left head antenna is grounded, and physiological saline moistens the contact area between the electrode and the centipede. When the circuit is connected and stimulated, venom can be seen discharging from the opening of the centipede's jaw limb poison hook, which is collected in a small beaker, then vacuum-dried and freeze-dried for storage. The former method can be combined with capture and commercial processing, while the latter method causes no harm to the centipede, allowing continuous venom extraction every two weeks. Centipede toxin is a biotoxin that has been actively researched and developed in recent years, especially regarding live venom extraction and activity studies, significantly enhancing the social and economic benefits of centipede farming and promoting the vigorous development of artificial centipede cultivation.
Specialty farming - How to farm centipedes?
In animal taxonomy, centipedes belong to the phylum Arthropoda, class Arachnida, order Scutigeromorpha, family Scolopendridae, genus Scolopendra, species Scolopendra. This species is further divided into two nearly identical local subspecies: the lesser-spined centipede and the many-spined centipede.
With the extensive use of pesticides and fertilizers, wild centipedes in the plains of rural areas are now rare, and those in mountainous regions are also decreasing due to excessive capturing by local farmers. Moreover, with the spread of traditional Chinese medicine culture abroad, the export volume of centipedes has increased year by year. Therefore, relying solely on capturing wild centipedes cannot meet the increasing demand. Medicinal centipedes have become one of the scarcer herbs in the market. For a long time, commercial centipedes have been in short supply, with stable sales and steadily rising prices.
Hubei Agricultural University supports: As a key university under the national "211 Project," Huazhong Agricultural University collaborates with Wuhan Nongke Humin Biological Engineering Co., Ltd., to jointly research and promote scientific agriculture. Wuhan Nongke Humin Biological Engineering Co., Ltd., specializes in advanced centipede farming technology: Humin No. 2 Golden-Headed Centipede.
Advanced technical advantages: Through years of breeding observation, Wuhan Nongke Humin Biological Engineering Co., Ltd., together with multiple biological experts and professors of bioengineering from Huazhong Agricultural University, has utilized selective purification techniques and biological genetic improvement engineering to cultivate a new generation of centipedes called Humin No. 2 Golden-Headed Centipede. Observations show that this breed is easy to raise, gentle in nature, adaptable, grows quickly, reproduces at a high rate, has better medicinal value, and offers more significant economic benefits, making it an ideal investment project for farming enthusiasts.
Complete farming facilities: The company leverages agricultural science as its strength and life sciences as its characteristic. Relying on the expertise of the Animal Science and Technology College, modern bioengineering, specialty farming, and insect resource development form its core. It is a high-tech enterprise integrating research, breeding, teaching, promotion, technical services, production, sales, and import-export trade. It owns large ecological farming zones, solar greenhouse farming zones, and greenhouse farming zones. It also has separate technical training centers, seedling breeding centers, germplasm rooms, incubation rooms, and gene transfer rooms, providing excellent foundations and a complete system.
Wuhan Nongke Humin Company: Upholding the tradition of "diligent reading and hard work, self-establishment and helping others," our company is committed to the principle of "scientific agriculture."
