Centipedes are prone to bacterial infections leading to this disease. In the early stages, infected centipedes mainly develop black or green spots on the skin of their joints, which gradually expand; then the surface loses its luster, black spots appear under the abdomen, appetite decreases, movements become sluggish, and they eventually die from refusing to eat and becoming emaciated. The main cause of this disease is excessive humidity in the breeding environment, or leftover food rotting and molding in the pool. Centipedes have relatively strong resistance and generally do not get sick, but improper breeding methods can also lead to illness. Below is an introduction to the main diseases of centipedes and their prevention and treatment methods:
1. Green mold disease: Also called green stiff mold disease, it is the main disease in artificial centipede farming. From mid-June to the end of August, due to high temperatures, high humidity, and food spoilage,

Prevention and Treatment Methods: (1) Remove moldy food, provide fresh live food, maintain hygiene in the breeding pool, and disinfect. (2) Adjust the temperature and humidity in the breeding pool, keep it ventilated and dry. (3) For diseased centipedes, use 0.25 grams of penicillin mixed with 1 kilogram of water for spray disinfection or add water for drinking. (4) Use 0.6 grams of lactase, 0.25 grams of oxytetracycline, and 0.25 grams of chloramphenicol ground into powder, mix with 400 grams of feed to feed the diseased centipedes until recovery.
2. Abdominal distension disease: Centipedes often suffer from this disease during the rainy and low-temperature period after autumn, mostly caused by overeating and low temperatures. In the early stages, the head of the diseased centipede turns purplish red, the poison hooks spread out, they don't eat or eat little, the abdomen swells, and movements become slow. They usually die within a week of falling ill.
Prevention and Treatment Methods: (1) Use 1 gram of lactase mixed with 500 grams of water, let them suck it up, and raise the temperature. (2) Grind 0.5 tablets of sulfonamide into powder and mix with 300 grams of feed; you can also use 0.25 grams of chloramphenicol mixed with 300 grams of feed, feed every other day until recovery.
3. Molting disease: Caused by overly damp living quarters allowing fungi to parasitize the body. Initially, symptoms include restlessness and constant movement, later weakness and sluggish movements, ultimately dying from refusal to move or eat.
Prevention and Treatment Methods: Mix 0.25 grams of oxytetracycline, 0.6 grams of lactase, and 1 gram of calcium tablets into fine powder and stir with 400 grams of feed, feed continuously for several days until recovery.
4. Ant Harm: Centipedes that are molting or hatching eggs have weak resistance, and ants entering will attack in groups, biting molting centipedes to death or causing female centipedes to abandon their eggs and escape.
Prevention and Treatment Methods: (1) Dig a moat around the breeding pool, fill it with water to prevent ants from entering. (2) Use fruit or other sweets to lure ants away and scald them with boiling water.
5. Miscarriage: Pregnant centipedes may miscarry due to interference, flipping, noise, or direct stimulation by foreign objects. Therefore, during pregnancy, quietness should be maintained, and frequent flipping should be avoided.
Additionally, it's necessary to prevent rats from eating adult centipedes, juveniles, and eggs, which could cause harm.
Supported by Huazhong Agricultural University: A key institution of the national "211 Project", Huazhong Agricultural University collaborates with Wuhan Nongke惠民Biological Engineering Co., Ltd. to research scientific farming techniques for centipedes: Hui Min No. 2 Golden Headed Centipede.
Advanced Technology Advantage: Wuhan Nongke惠民Biological Engineering Co., Ltd., together with multiple biological experts and professors of bioengineering from Huazhong Agricultural University, has bred a new generation variety, Hui Min No. 2 Golden Headed Centipede, through years of observation and purification technology using biological genetic improvement engineering. Observations show that this breed is easy to raise, docile, adaptable, grows quickly, reproduces at a high rate, has better medicinal value, and more significant economic value, making it an ideal investment project for many farmers.
Complete Breeding Facilities: The company leverages agricultural science as its advantage, focuses on life sciences, relies on experts and scholars from the Animal Science and Technology College, and centers on modern bioengineering, special animal husbandry, and insect resource development. It is a high-tech enterprise integrating research, breeding, teaching, promotion, technical services, production, sales, and import-export trade. It owns large-scale ecological breeding areas, solar greenhouse breeding areas, and greenhouse breeding areas, and has set up technical training centers, seedling breeding centers, seed source rooms, incubation rooms, and gene transfer rooms, with excellent foundations and complete systems.
