American frog cage feeding and management method

The frog is native to the United States and Canada. It is a new breed of meat frog introduced in China. It is a relatively large frog species and can weigh more than 1 kg. The beautiful frogs are amphibians, which have the characteristics of wide feeding habits, rapid growth, high egg production rate, tender meat, and rich nutrition. High-density breeding of beautiful frogs using cages can effectively use water bodies such as ponds, reservoirs, rivers, lakes, etc., do not occupy arable land, and do not need to invest in the construction of cement pools. The beauty frogs grow quickly and produce high yields in cages, and their benefits are quite good. .

1. Select body of water

The body of water placed in cages should be selected from ponds, reservoirs, rivers, lakes, and drains that are free of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so that the best flow of water can be achieved.

2. Set up the cage

The material of the cage may use a plastic net or screen cloth with a mesh diameter of about 0.3 cm. The area of ​​the cage is generally 6-10 square meters. The thick bamboo rafts were used to piling in the water, and the piles were located on the four corners of the rectangular cage. Then use a thin bamboo pole horizontally tied to the pile, and then use nylon rope to fix the plastic net or screen cloth on the pile and the horizontal bamboo basket.

3. Making bait station

After the cages were made, they were then used to grow a frame of 1 meter, 0.5 meter wide, and 4-6 centimeters high. The bottom of the box was nailed with a screen cloth, and it was hung in the cage to serve as a bait station. The bottom of the bait station is about 7 cm from the water surface.

4. Suitable for keeping

Each cage can be stocked with l50-200 young frogs, 100-120 medium frogs and 18-20 frogs. Due to the differences in the growth and development of the frogs, after a period of time, the size of the frogs in the same cage will be uneven. At this time, the larger frogs should be kept in another cage to prevent the big frog from eating the small frogs.

5. Optional bait

Breeding beautiful frogs can be fed with frog puffed pellet feed or cut into small pieces of animal viscera and other bait. The bait is best eaten with live meal such as Tenebrio molitor, small fish shrimp, fly maggot and earthworm. Tenebrio can be cultured, cockroaches, etc., can also be fed formula feed. Formulated formulas for compound feed include: rice flour 20%, wheat bran 30%, bean cake powder 30%, rapeseed cake powder 5%, fish meal 10%, blood meal 5%, plus appropriate amounts of frog growth promoters and additives.

6. Feeding time

Every day around 8:30 am and 4 pm, they are fed one at a time. The feeding amount is 5%-15% of the frog's body weight, and it is advisable that the frog can eat without residual baits.

7. Adjust the water depth

After the beautiful frog is placed in the cage, it is necessary to grasp the depth of water entering the cage. The young frog should maintain a water depth of 25 cm. The medium frog period of 150-250 grams must maintain a water depth of 50 cm, and a fertilization period of 300 grams or more should be maintained. Period to maintain a water depth of 0.7-1 meters.

8. Shade cooling

Some females can continue to spawn during the spawning period. The frog eggs produced in summer can only be hatched in a cool environment. Therefore, the roof of the cage should be shaded and cooled, and the depth of the water in the cage should be increased so that the frog eggs can hatch normally.

9. Cleaning bait station

Clean the bait station once every 3-4 days, and clean the frog's excreta and bait on the feeding platform. It is also possible to raise omnivorous fish that feed on frog waste and bait in cages.
