Back again with me @muklis, this is the experience and the real knowledge I did not intentionally get it.Initially I intend to visit my colleague who is sick to his house, after arriving at my colleague house I get a special experience and get my honest knowledge not know.

It turns out the parents of my my colleague raise animals that I think is still rare in the cultivation in my area of ​​the German caterpillar.

I asked how the process and maintenance of this caterpillar, the following is the process of how to raise caterpillar german.

Famous German caterpillar is very greedy. He can eat any feed provided. In addition, the German caterpillar is also not too quickly turned into a cocoon, so it can last longer when you buy it as a supply of bird feed.

Hikua cycle is longer than hongkong worm. Age can reach 1 year, and will only become cocoon if separated from other larvae. Compare with hongkong caterpillar cycle which soon become cocoon in 12 - 50 days.

Here are some preparation tools and materials as well as steps to start the cultivation of German caterpillars outside the country bahakan already made a kind of snack to eat humans because of the nutritional content and protein is believed to be very high.

COTTON / GERMANY BOX

The needs of the box there are two kinds, namely box for container / place of German Beetle and box for container / place of German caterpillar. The size of the box for the German beetle has a difference of at least 2 cm both the length and width of the box where the German caterpillar. This means that if the box for the German Caterpillar size for example 40 x 60 cm, then the size of the box for the German Beetle is 38 x 58 cm. This is so that the beetle box can enter into the box of German caterpillar. While the box height is at least 12 cm.

Box Beetles measuring 38 x 58 cm and height 12 cm is usually filled with the German Beetle as much as 500 max. Thus the need for the German Beetle box is tailored to the number of German Beetles to be reared.

The German Box Beetle example is as follows:

While the German caterpillar box is usually measuring 40 x 60 cm with a height of 12 cm made of board / shingle, plywood for the base and duct tape. The needs of this German caterpillar box each German beetle box is 4 pieces per harvest per 15 days. If it is harvested per 15 days, then for 3 months (90 days) it takes 90/15 x 4 boxes = 24 boxes, after the 24th box is used, the next harvest is already using the first box because the first 4 boxes have to be sold. So if the breeder will breed the German Beetle as much as 5 hundred heads, then the need of the caterpillar box is 500/500 x 24 boxes = 24 boxes.

The example of the German caterpillar box is:

Furthermore The needs of the cage / shelf for each box of caterpillar german can be made in accordance with the needs and conditions of the room to be used. On this box rack height every room at least 16 cm, so there is a better air circulation. Rack material can be made from bamboo or wood.

Examples of shelves are as follows:

SEPARATION OF GERMAN KUMBANG EGGS.

Separation of german beetle eggs from German beetle is done maximum 15 days production, for subsequent separation of eggs that have become German caterpillar at the age of 1 month, where each box size of 40 x 60 cm is divided into two boxes, and the next separation when the German caterpillar has aged 2 every month the box of the German caterpillar is divided into two more boxes.

For each separation it is best to use a sieve / sieve tool with adjustable size, and wherever possible the size of the caterpillar has the same magnitude.

The example of the sieve used for the separation of the caterpillar is:

FEEDING.

Food given to the German Beetle as well as the main German caterpillar is Polard wheat and can also be added BR 5 (chicken feed) with a mixture of wheat polard with BR 5 versus 2: 1. While the drinking medium is given, among others, yellow waluh slices, carrots, raw papaya, cassava, jelly, watermelon, melon and some fruits that contain lots of water.

Feeding the German beetle at least above the 1 cm wire of ram, so that the ram wire is closed and does not cause friction with the german beetle. Additional feeding tailored to the needs and not excessive. While the best beverage for health German beetle is a yellow waluh slice, while the other once - times only. For German caterpillar feed that has been separated from German Beetle maximum 3 cm from the box and beverage given depends on existing materials with thin slices and each box is filled with a maximum of 8 slices for 2 days, or if considered less can be given enough.

Food is considered to be exhausted when the color of the food already looks blackish, meaning it is a German caterpillar manure, it is necessary to add food in each box with 2 ounces of food only, because it is better to add at a later time than the excess. If considered a lot of dirt, then it should be reduced by sifting first dirt from the caterpillar, and restore the dirt into the box with a maximum of 2 ounce dirt only. These dirt must remain in each box, because the German caterpillar will feel that the place / box that the caterpillar occupies ist habitat.

Regarding waste that is not used anymore should be collected in zak or any media because basically this German caterpillar manure can be used for organic fertilizer media, so it can be used for plants owned such as oranges, rice, cloves, flowers and so forth.

The image of feeding and drinking German beetle and German caterpillar is as follows:

SAFETY GOODS AND GERMAN CENTER.

A. German Beetle & Caterpillar Rack.

Box shelves should be secured from ants by means of each pole supporting rack is given a container underneath which contains oil in the hope that the ants do not climb into the beetle box or the German caterpillar. Other animals such as mice should be aware of, should use a mouse trap every time at certain places so that there are no more rats in the location of beetles and German caterpillars.

B. German Beetle & Caterpillar Box.

Box beetles and boxes German caterpillars should be given a cover of plastic kassa in the hope that lizards do not enter, because lizards will also eat beetles and German caterpillars, and even tends to cause the lizard of the lizard a lot of dead because killed by lizard. Besides, it is necessary also in every box beetle and German caterpillar given banners / deboons bajaj gajih on each side (left and right in the box) that extends to the size of 5 s / d. 7 cm long 50 cm in order to keep the moisture and heat absorption in the box.

C. German Beetle & Caterpillar Beverage.

What to watch out for is the cleanliness of beverage beetles and German caterpillars in the form of fruits that are estimated to contain insecticides, therefore should be given before the beetle and the German caterpillar must be washed first in the new iris and given as a drink. Thus will be able to prevent the occurrence of death to beetles and German caterpillars.

D. Air Circulation.

The indoor air circulation where the breed should be quite free, so as to provide a much more normal temperature. However, extreme weather changes at this time should also be addressed with high vigilance, for example by placing a temperature device to determine the air temperature at the site and also need to be prepared an air propulsion device (fan).

E. Location of German Beetle and Caterpillar Enlargement.

If possible, the location of the spawn beetle separated from the location of the German caterpillar enlargement, this in anticipation if there is a virus in the German caterpillar is not to interfere with the activity of the German beetle to lay eggs. And at the beginning of breeding should the location, rack, beetle box and the German caterpillar box should be sterile from various possibilities of viruses, germs and the like by spraying with germicidal ingredients that are considered good and done once a month.

BUSINESS ANALYSIS OF LIVESTOCK GERMANY.

As explained above, the production capacity of the German beetle every 10 days is 1% s / d. 1.05% or if 15 days is 1.5% - 1.6% of the number of german beetles are reared, meaning that if in the calculation of this business analysis is considered raising 5,000 beetles with a life span of 2 years.

So breeding this German caterpillar is very promising because of the large market demand for this caterpillar to feed pet birds and make animal fry oil.

Here is a little writing from me @muklis, writing that my knowledge can be due to accidental because I visited my ailing colleague.Thanks for reading my writing @muklis may be useful for all of us.
