The basic knowledge of ant rearing

First, check the temperature

Check the temperature to grasp the average temperature, in a breeding room, the upper temperature is higher, the following temperature is low; the inside temperature is higher, the outside temperature is low, so you should choose several temperatures to find the average number, as the indoor temperature. Temperature is very important, but the key must be balanced, do not make the temperature high or low, are all negative to the growth and reproduction of ants. It is best to control the temperature at a certain (relatively speaking) temperature line between 25-35 °C. Always pay attention to measures such as keeping warm or cooling.

Second, check the humidity

There are two aspects to check the humidity: First, the humidity of the cultivating soil is generally controlled between 10% and 20%. It is advisable to open the soil and do not dry it. The tide is 15%, and it is necessary to pay attention to the spray; The relative humidity in the air is generally controlled between 70% and 90%, and water droplets can be seen on the wall plastic agricultural film. Observed with the naked eye, when it rains outside, the indoor humidity is generally between 70% and 90%. In addition, wet and dry thermometers should be properly used and inspected.

Third, check the stool

Check the feces is mainly to check the color of the feces, with or without abnormal changes. From the timely detection of lesions. The excrement is generally at the exit of the ant nest. The ants are responsible for the excavation. They are constantly being carried out every day. When abnormalities are found, they must be analysed in a timely manner, diagnosed and diagnosed and treated in a timely manner.

Fourth, check the residual food

The food intake of ants is generally more balanced every day, and the food is more complex. Therefore, the amount of food that can be eaten and the amount of food consumed should be high or low, that is, sometimes the food is relatively clean, and sometimes the remaining food is not normal. At the same time, daily food should be cleaned up.

V. Water spray

According to the size of the humidity, the water in the breeding room should be sprayed every day. Because the water in the breeding room will evaporate out every day, if it is not replenished in time, it will cause the humidity to be too low and affect the normal growth or reproduction of the ants. Water spray should be sprayed on the indoor walls, feeding frames, etc. The amount of water spray varies from room to room, season to season, and different feeding methods. However, there are certain rules. The amount of water sprayed is basically the same every day. That is, the amount of water sprayed and the amount of evaporation consumed are basically the same, and the basic balance of indoor humidity is achieved.

Six, feeding

The food intake of ants is relatively small, with an average of 0.1 milligrams per day. Therefore, the input of the ants should be modest. Too much material can cause waste. Feeding too little, it is easy to fight each other and even kill. Feeding trays should be used when feeding. Feed tray system to do: use aluminum alloy plate as the chassis, can also be used plastic plates, length 20cm, width 7cm, two ends of the plate with a wire to fix the two pull, easy to use straight stick provocatively put into the breeding grid. Pull up the general can be mastered in about 10cm. The length of the rod that picks up the feed pan can be determined according to the situation. The length is generally about 1cm. The trays are made to facilitate cleaning and disinfection. The number of feeds per day can be determined based on the total amount of ants. For example, if there are 10,000 ants per litter and 14 litters per square, then the formula is calculated. 1 = 14,000 (milligrams) = 14 grams. Can also tentative feeding, increase every day, to finish eating is appropriate, let the ant eat 8 or 90%, but can stimulate the ant's appetite and enhance the ant's group advantage.

Feeding should also include water or sugar. The method of water injection and feeding is basically similar, as long as the aluminum alloy plate or plastic plate is carved into a trough, which is not only convenient for storing water, but also does not flow out. The sink should not be too deep to avoid drowning the ants. When honey is fed, be sure to dilute it and cast it into a star shape.
