Currently, each breeding farm supplies about 200 centipedes per group, including 50 male and 150 female centipedes, priced around 1000 yuan. If you introduce 10 groups, the investment would be 10,000 yuan. Expenses for maintenance of breeding rooms, breeding insect farms, and pot racks amount to 7,000 yuan. Adding the cost of introducing the species, the first-year investment totals 17,000 yuan. In the first year, a total of 150,000 eggs are produced, yielding 135,000 marketable centipedes. Selling them at 0.6 yuan each generates an income of 81,000 yuan. After deducting the first-year investment of 17,000 yuan, the net income reaches 64,000 yuan. In the second year, only 7,000 yuan is deducted for breeding costs, leading to a net income of 74,000 yuan.
In 2010, the temperature was lower than in previous years, combined with excessive hunting in recent years, causing a tight supply. This year, the centipede acquisition market has seen a sharp reduction in supply, resulting in price increases, presenting a good market opportunity for the centipede breeding industry. Western Network interviewed Liu Zenghua, a skilled breeder with 27 years of experience. He advises people to boldly invest while maintaining a good mindset to seize the substantial profits brought by this opportunity.
Centipede breeding facilities are simple; old houses can be renovated with pools or large jars used for breeding. Breeding pools can be made of glass or plastic film, or water pools can be built around to prevent escape. A layer of 20 cm thick soil is laid at the bottom of the pool or jar, and broken tiles or stones are piled on top to create crevices for the centipedes to inhabit.
Centipedes are oviparous, with female ovaries developing mature eggs in late spring to early summer. The egg-laying quantity ranges from 20 to 60 eggs, mostly around 40 to 50 eggs. Egg-laying occurs from late June to early August, peaking in early to mid-July. After laying eggs, centipedes use their legs to gather the eggs into a cluster, holding them in their embrace to incubate. The incubation period lasts 43 to 50 days. The eggs are elliptical, varying in size, generally with a diameter of 3 to 3.5 mm, yellowish-white, semi-transparent, and have a hatching rate of over 90%. Under artificial heating conditions, centipedes can lay eggs twice a year, producing around 100 eggs, with 90 young centipedes being bred.
Artificial breeding of centipedes is a project with small investment, quick results, high benefits, and promising development prospects, suitable for rural courtyard breeding and urban laid-off workers seeking re-employment. As long as the key technology is mastered, steady development can be achieved.
Supported by Huazhong Agricultural University: A key university under the national "211 Project" - Huazhong Agricultural University collaborates with Wuhan Nongke Humin Bioengineering Co., Ltd. to research and develop advanced centipede breeding techniques aimed at promoting scientific agriculture and enriching farmers through technology: Humin No. 2 Golden Head Centipede.
Advanced technical advantages: Through many years of breeding observation, using purification technology, and biological genetic improvement engineering, Wuhan Nongke Humin Bioengineering Co., Ltd., along with multiple biological experts and professors of bioengineering from Huazhong Agricultural University, has cultivated a new generation of centipedes - Humin No. 2 Golden Head Centipedes. Observations indicate that this breed is easy to raise, gentle in nature, strong in adaptability, fast-growing, highly reproductive, with better medicinal value and more significant economic value, making it an ideal investment project for breeding enthusiasts.
Complete breeding facilities: The company leverages agricultural science and life sciences, relying on experts and scholars from the College of Animal Science and Technology, focusing on modern bioengineering, special breeding, and insect resource development. It integrates research, breeding, teaching, promotion, technical services, production, sales, and import-export trade into one high-tech enterprise. It owns large ecological breeding areas, solar house breeding areas, greenhouse breeding areas, and has set up technical training centers, seedling breeding centers, germplasm rooms, incubation rooms, gene conversion rooms, etc., with excellent foundations and a complete system.
Wuhan Nongke Humin Company: Upholding the tradition of "diligent study and hard work, self-improvement, and helping others," our company aims at "scientific agriculture" as its mission, adhering to the business philosophy of "integrity, dedication, pragmatism, innovation, and win-win" to promote the industrial development of centipede resources. We will strive to provide our fellow farmers with higher-quality, high-yield seedlings, more advanced technology, and more comprehensive services, allowing us to progress together and create a brighter future.
