日本红蚯蚓生长发育与环境条件的关系（The relationship between the growth and environmental conditions of Japanese Red earthworms） The relationship between the growth and environmental conditions of Japanese Red earthworms 1. feeding habits Red earthworms are food - eating animals that live in large amounts of organic matter and are difficult to see in general arable land. Therefore, the use of animal and plant organic waste can be a lot of artificial breeding. It is broad diet, livestock manure and straw, a variety of fresh and dry grass, leaves, fruits, vegetables, and even skin hogwash after fermentation can eat. Earthworms feed roughly one day of their weight, and half of them are excreted as earthworm droppings. The production of a ton of fresh earthworms requires about 70~80 tons of organic waste. 2. temperature The earthworm is a thermophilic wild animal, earthworm will drill into the soil in winter and drought, latent dormancy in high temperature season. Artificial cultivation of earthworms, to adjust the temperature, so that earthworms can grow throughout the year. The optimum growth temperature of red earthworm is about 25. Earthworms are hermaphrodite animals but must mate differently. Sexually mature earthworms (i.e., fertility rings) lay their eggs after 1 weeks of mating. But the frequency of spawning has a lot to do with temperature. The temperature is below 10 DEG C, to 35 days before spawning a grain; temperature at 18 ~ 25 degrees, humidity 30% ~ 50%, the ventilation is good, generally 1.5 to 4.5 days of spawning a grain; when the temperature up to 35 DEG C, the number of eggs laid down. Incubation of eggs has a lot to do with temperature. When the temperature is below 8 DEG C, cocoon hatching stop; 15 degrees, about 33 days of cocoon hatched juvenile, hatching rate of 97%, the average egg cocoon hatching juvenile 6.8; when the average temperature is at 20 DEG C, 19 days of hatching juvenile; 32 degrees, 10 days can be hatched, but the hatching rate of only 33%, the a
