Xushui Centipede Breeding Base, Wuhan Jiang'an Centipede Breeding Base? The largest centipede breeding base in Jiang'an.

Wuhan Jiang'an Centipede Breeding Base? The largest centipede breeding base in Jiang'an? It is the Nongke Humin Centipede Breeding Base: During the egg-laying or incubation period, if disturbed by external factors, centipedes will stop laying eggs and eat all the already laid or incubating eggs. This is what is called the protective reaction of centipedes. After centipedes eat their eggs, they can usually lay and incubate eggs again. However, this greatly delays the egg-laying and hatching periods of centipedes, reduces the number of eggs laid, and lowers the hatching rate, affecting the yield and quality of centipedes. Therefore, during artificial centipede breeding, the surrounding environment should be kept quiet during the centipede's egg-laying and incubation period, and disturbances should be avoided. This is a matter that must be paid attention to in breeding management.

The Nongke Humin Centipede Breeding Base has a relatively long incubation period for centipedes, generally requiring 43 to 50 days. During the hatching process, the external morphology and internal structure are gradually changing with the continuous development of the embryo. After about a month, the larvae begin to take shape inside the egg, with a body length of approximately 1.2 cm, and the wriggling of the larvae inside the egg membrane can be seen; after 35 to 40 days, the body length of the larvae is about 1.5 cm, capable of crawling up and down but still cannot leave the mother's body; after 43 to 45 days, the body length of the larvae reaches about 2.5 cm, able to leave the mother's body and search for food on their own. During the entire incubation period, the mother has already stored enough nutrients and does not need to be fed, otherwise it may cause the egg or larvae to be contaminated by food and eaten by the mother, affecting the hatching rate and survival rate of the larvae.

During the incubation period, the mother never leaves the egg mass or the larvae, carefully hatching and guarding them. She frequently uses her antennae to drive away other small insects nearby and often uses her feeding claws to manipulate or lick the egg mass or larvae with her mouth. Observations show that this is the liquid secreted by the basal joint gland of the mother's feeding claw or the oral gland cleaning the egg mass or larvae, preventing the egg mass or larvae from being contaminated by bacteria and other pollutants.

(3) Molting and Growth Development: Centipedes belong to the crustacean class of arthropods, covered by a chitinous shell on the surface, which restricts further growth and development. In order to get rid of the restriction of the shell on further growth and development, they molt several times during their growth and development. Each time they molt, they grow significantly larger. They molt three times during embryonic development, and adults generally molt once a year, while some molt twice.

Molting mostly occurs in midsummer or after egg-laying. Before molting, their body color changes, movements slow down, they do not eat, and their vision and antennae abilities weaken. When molting, it proceeds section by section from front to back, finally shedding the tail legs. The old skin shed appears wrinkled, and when stretched out, it forms a complete centipede shell. Molting takes about 2 hours to complete. During molting, disturbances should be avoided as they can prolong the molting time. In artificial breeding, care should also be taken to prevent attacks by ants during molting, otherwise, centipedes may be easily bitten and injured by ants.

(4) Wintering: Centipedes are poikilothermic animals, and changes in external temperatures have a great impact on their lives. The cold winter threatens their survival. To escape the threat of the cold winter, they burrow underground and hibernate. During hibernation, they do not eat or move, and their bodies form an S-shape or L-shape. The depth at which they burrow during hibernation is directly related to the temperature and soil temperature. The lower the temperature and soil temperature, the deeper they burrow into the soil; the higher the temperature and soil temperature, the shallower they burrow into the soil. Under normal temperature and soil temperature conditions, most hibernate at depths of 15-40 cm in the soil; when the temperature and soil temperature are low, they can hibernate at depths of 80-100 cm in the soil. If the soil temperature rises, not only can it delay the start of hibernation, but it can also allow them to hibernate near the surface or on the surface of the soil. Thus, the soil temperature is the key factor affecting the length of hibernation and the depth at which centipedes remain dormant. Therefore, in breeding, artificially increasing the soil temperature in the hibernation area can not only shorten its hibernation time and ensure safe wintering, but also relatively increase the normal activity period of centipedes, which is beneficial to increasing the yield of farmed centipedes. For example, before centipedes enter winter dormancy, pits 80-100 cm deep can be dug in the breeding field. The excavated soil is mixed evenly with collected garbage mud ash at a ratio of 2:1, poured back into the pit, and the pit is filled. Then an appropriate amount of brick and tile fragments are laid, and the centipedes are placed. Another layer of fine soil is then added, and finally, tree branches and dry grass are covered.
