What is the prospect of scorpion breeding? Prospect and benefit analysis of scorpion breeding

What is the prospect of scorpion breeding? What are the prospects? What is the profit from farming? What is the relationship between supply and demand in the scorpion market? How difficult is the scorpion breeding technology? Is the cost of raising scorpions high? Whether the risk of scorpion breeding is controllable, below, let's analyze the prospect of scorpion breeding in detail.

Medicinal and Edible Value of Scorpion

Scorpion is a valuable Chinese herbal medicine, which has the functions of calming wind and relieving spasm, dredging channels and collaterals, relieving swelling and pain, attacking toxin and resolving hard mass. Can be used for the treatment of rheumatism, hemiplegia, numbness of limbs, apoplexy, scrofula, tetanus, unknown toxin, cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS, etc. In traditional Chinese medicine, there are 100 diseases that need to be treated with scorpions. Because it contains special protein, it has always been a delicacy on people's table. It has strong nourishing, health care and beauty value.

Feasibility of artificial propagation of scorpions

Scorpions are widely used and have extremely high medicinal and edible values; Low cost, high profit, high economic value and high return rate of breeding; Scorpions eat less, excrete less feces, have no odor and do not pollute the environment; Scorpions have strong vitality, do not infect diseases and do not need epidemic prevention; Scorpions lie down during the day and come out at night, so feeding does not occupy the work during the day and can be fed at night; Covering a small area, it can be cultivated by using idle houses, balconies, corners or simple greenhouses; The breeding speed is fast, and there are many litters, with 3050 litters and 24 litters per year. Breeding labor intensity is low, everyone can raise it, and it is highly technical.

Market demand of scorpions

With the continuous expansion of the market share of Chinese patent medicine, as one of the blind medicinal materials, the demand for scorpion will continue to increase.

Scorpions have broad export prospects. Scorpion and Chinese patent medicines made from scorpion are in short supply in the international market, and there is a big gap between the annual export volume and the market demand. According to the statistics of relevant departments, the annual demand for scorpions in the world is about 5,000 tons, but the annual output in the world is only about 400 tons, and that in China is only about 100 tons, which is far from meeting the demand of scorpions in the international market.

Wild scorpions can't meet the needs of the international market, and artificial breeding of scorpions is promising. In recent years, due to the sharp increase in the price of scorpions, a large number of wild scorpions have been caught indiscriminately in various places, coupled with the large-scale reclamation of barren hills, environmental pollution and the flooding of pesticides and fertilizers, resulting in serious damage to wild scorpion resources. In order to protect resources and maintain ecological balance, it is necessary to develop artificial breeding of scorpions.

Scorpion breeding benefit

Scorpion reproduction is very simple. As long as you master the breeding technology (you must have breeding experience), you can raise scorpions suitable for all ages. Under normal circumstances, 1 person can raise about 1 10,000 pregnant scorpions and about 1 10,000 commercial scorpions, with an annual output of about 1 10,000 kilograms and an annual output value of 400,000 yuan. Artificial scorpions have high reproductive rate and fast growth. Through artificial constant temperature breeding, the annual output is increased from 1 to 2 ~ 3, with 20 ~ 50 young scorpions per fetus, and the survival rate is over 90%. The growth period of scorpions was shortened from 3 years to 9- 10 month, and the yield of scorpions raised artificially was greatly improved.

In order to improve the breeding efficiency, increase the yield and shorten the breeding cycle, artificial constant temperature breeding is the development prospect of family breeding scorpions. In order to produce qualified scorpion products, it is particularly important to adopt pollution-free breeding methods in the whole process of breeding and improve the international competitiveness of products.

Scorpion breeding has a broad prospect, but we should also pay attention to certain risks. The main risk comes from the lack of breeding technology and experience. We must go to the field with experienced people before making a decision on introduction.
