When he arrived at Chu Jiaxiong's house, all his family members were present. These are all authentic farmers with simple temperaments, and they are also very embarrassed to trouble Chu Jiaqiang this time. When they saw Chu Jiaqiang coming over in person, they hurriedly added tea and poured water.

"Uncle Shengzhong, don't be busy yet. Ah Xiong's thing, I was negligent. In this way, I suggest that you raise field chickens, although the early work is relatively large, and the management is also more difficult. But when a Dan becomes a frog, the situation will be much better. This kind of thing is also very precious outside, and it is more valuable than yellow eels, so they are also protected animals. Chu Jiaqiang said.

Hearing that it was a field chicken, everyone frowned slightly. However, when I heard the explanation that followed, I was very moved. The Chu family forcibly raised yellow eels to make money, and the entire Heqian Town knew about it. Field chickens are more precious than yellow eels, not to mention.

Before, they also said that the field chicken, called the tiger striped frog, is a national protected animal and cannot be caught. Since then, there has been no arrest in the village. It is precisely like this, there are not many in these field chicken villages, but there are also a lot, and they can be heard croaking when they are young.

"Is this okay? It doesn't seem to be a lot of production, and we don't have any experience. Chu Shengzhong calmed down and said.

Chu Jiaqiang explained to him again, and gave a more detailed explanation on how to reproduce, breed and so on.

In the early stage, zooplankton and egg yolk were mainly cultivated in work, and bloodworms were the main ones in the middle and late stages. Newly metamorphosed young frogs, vision and smell are not fully adapted to terrestrial life, at this time should be cast live bait, such as earthworms, fly maggots, etc., after 5 and 7 years later, gradually change to feed chopped fish, mussel meat, snail meat, etc., and then slowly add frog feed, and finally completely transition to feeding frog feed.

Tiger frogs have the habit of eating big and small, so the number of frogs of the same size should be put at one time, and the large ones should be separated after 2 months and 3 months. When breeding, they are cultivated in batches, so that it is easy to manage.

Therefore, a hidden place should be set up in the pool, such as planting aquatic plants or putting rubble and bamboo tubes at the bottom of the pool. Young frogs are most afraid of alarm, strong light, and are particularly sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment, so in the management of young frogs, we should pay attention to keeping the environment by the pond quiet, and take shading measures to avoid strong light and exposure.

Before, the place in Tangao that Chu Jiaqiang said was very suitable for this condition. It's a quiet place, and it's usually less accessible.

"There are still a lot to pay attention to later, such as when the temperature is relatively low in winter, we should pay attention to cold protection and thermal insulation. Of course, even in winter, it is very rare for the temperature to fall below 4 degrees Celsius. As a result, there is almost no need to hibernate and no wintering ponds need to be built. Chu Jiaqiang said.

Tiger frogs are cold-blooded ectotherms, do not have a constant body temperature, not only have a low body temperature, but often change with changes in ambient temperature. When the temperature drops a lot during the rainy season, it temporarily stops feeding activities, and its growth rate slows down or even stops. It survives the cold winter by hibernating, and before entering hibernation, there is often a pre-wintering period in which it actively feeds, at this time it hunts in large quantities to store nutrients for wintering.

Therefore, in many places, the cultivation of tiger frogs is almost always to build wintering ponds, and even some spawning ponds, hatching ponds, tadpole ponds, and so on.

After discussing it, Chu Shengzhong's family left Chu Jiaqiang down for a meal. After dinner, after resting for a while, Chu Jiaxiong took a motorcycle to the town, ready to buy some nets and come back. According to Chu Jiaqiang's instructions, it is about one and a half meters high, otherwise it is easy for the field chicken to jump out.

Chu Shengzhong and Chu Jiaqiang went to Tangao to inspect and make a systematic arrangement. The two entered that place, which made Chu Jiaqiang very surprised, there was actually a tiger striped frog inside, and when he saw it, he immediately went to the bottom of the water. In the corner, everyone saw a few clumps of frog eggs.

"Great, it's really helping, isn't it destined that this place is suitable for cultivating field chickens, so it's decided, it's here." Chu Jiaqiang was very happy. It is estimated that there are thousands of frog eggs here, and there are even a few few. He was going to take advantage of not paying attention to it, and get a little bit into the mountains and rivers map, and it wouldn't be long before there were as many things as there were.

Chu Shengzhong also grinned, this was indeed too coincidental. Since there is a collective growth here, it means that this is indeed a good place.

"It's not small here" Chu Shengzhong glanced at it a few times, plus the pond, there should be more than two thousand square meters here, and the pond accounts for two-thirds.

Chu Jiaqiang nodded: "It's better this way, the venue is too small to raise a lot, and it's easy to have problems."

He saw some algae in the pond, and some small fish and shrimp, which were the food of the tiger frog. However, when it is reproduced in large quantities, the species inside will definitely be devastated, so it is not possible to survive on the small fish and shrimp inside.

After the official start, if you don't add fish and shrimp and other aquatic creatures to it. Also, here, install insect trap lamps as well. The small flying insect is also one of the favorite of the tiger frog, which eats pests, and in the end, the tiger frog is actually a frog.

It eats a wide variety of species, among which it mainly feeds on Coleopteran insects, accounting for about one-third of the food volume, and the others include Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Homoptera insects, spiders, earthworms, myriapods, shrimps, crabs, loaches, and animal carcasses.

What is hard to believe is that it also eats frogs such as the sawy frog and the black spotted frog and the mus muscule, and they occupy a very important place in the food of the tiger frog. It seems that it not only has tiger stripes, but it is indeed a well-deserved "tiger" among frogs.

Chu Jiaqiang chatted a lot with Chu Shengzhong and taught him a lot of knowledge about breeding. This knowledge was actually checked by Chu Jiaqiang later, and at that time, he had already charged a lot of electricity in terms of planting and breeding, just to cope with this kind of time.

It didn't take long for Chu Jiaxiong to come over with a net. Later, he also followed his little daughter-in-law and his wife into the house, holding some bamboo stakes, wooden stakes and so on.

These bamboo and wooden stakes are meant to support the nets, otherwise they would not have been erected. It was also what Chu Jiaqiang told them before, let them get ready.

"There's still a field chicken here, that's great, you don't have to go out to find it." Chu Jiaxiong also looked excited.

His little daughter-in-law, Huang Lan, questioned: "Could it be the eggs of toads, at this time, they also began to lay eggs."

Huang Lan's questioning is not unreasonable, it should be that in the pond, you see these frog eggs, and there are four achievements that are their white spoons, which is very much.

"I didn't see them popping up just now." Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile. Chu Shengzhong nodded, according to their white spoon understanding, there are field chickens here, and those eggs will definitely not be toads. Although they are both frogs, they also have a certain territorial concept among themselves, and in the case of other populations, there are generally no other species.

"Bring a hammer, I'll drive the pile, you go online with your eldest brother, and fence this place first." Chu Shengzhong said.

Chu Jiaqiang reminded that when driving piles, you can tilt it slightly to prevent the tiger frog from escaping. (To be continued)
