Nowadays, with the development of the economy, a large amount of kitchen waste (swill water) will be generated every day in the city, and the garbage derived from the catering industry has become one of the main sources of urban pollution, and its scientific and harmless treatment has become a problem that plagues urban management and construction. However, at The WangZepu Kibbutz Farm in Cao County, Shandong Province, a farmer who did not look amazing successfully solved this problem through his own unique innovative experiments. He uses the larvae of black water flies to deal with food waste, which is not only ecologically environmentally friendly, but also has considerable benefits from raising black water flies.
Discover a new continent of environmental protection where tiny flies can eat garbage
Liu Jie, a young farmer in Cao County, Shandong Province, dropped out of school because of poverty, worked for several years, did not earn money, and later engaged in planting, did not make much money, after a few years of youth, in 1998, a chance, he began to get involved in insect breeding, and in 2000 founded the China Insect Network, online marketing of his products. Liu Jie is a man with a brain, relying on online and offline marketing, his insect farming has done a good job.
In 2006, a message on the Internet caught his attention. The information said that a company in South Korea specializes in breeding black water fly to treat garbage harmlessly, and the black water fly raised by food waste is a treasure, which can feed chickens, ducks, fish, turtles, frogs, and is an excellent breeding resource. The information that black water fly farming is both environmentally friendly and economical made him interested in the insect, so he checked the relevant information online. According to the data, the black water fly is a resource insect, a kind of sapivore insect of the diptera water flies, and its growth and development are divided into egg stage, larval stage, pupal stage and adult stage. The larvae feed on decaying organic matter and animal feces in nature, and the adults have a short lifespan of no more than 10 days, feed on nectar and dew, and lay an average of about 1,000 eggs. Larvae like to eat scavengers, livestock and poultry manure, swill water are its delicacies. A little treatment of swill water can become feed for the larvae of black waterflies. Moreover, the larvae of the black water fly are not sensitive to salt, condiments, food toxins and other chemical additives, and are particularly fond of greasy foods. The larvae enter the stage of large-scale feeding from the 3rd instar, and can eat 24 hours a day when there is sufficient food, and the feeding efficiency is very high. 1 cubic meter of saturated 4-year-old larvae can process about 800 kg (70% water content) of kitchen waste in 24 hours under suitable conditions. In terms of application, the whole body of the black water fly is a treasure, and the dried black water fly larvae contain 45% crude protein and 36% fat, as well as amino acids and fatty acids, which are superior to ordinary bean meal and bone meal, and can be processed into insect dry powder, replacing fish meal and becoming high-quality aquaculture feed. 1 kg of kitchen waste can feed 0.5 kg of black water fly larvae, and 1.25 kg of larvae can bake 0.5 kg of dried worms. The larvae can be fed directly as feed to economic animals such as chickens and fish, and the larvae of the black water fly can survive in the water, which is a rare live bait for aquaculture. The shell of the black water fly can also become a treasure. Raising poultry such as chickens and ducks with these shells is like adding vitamins to them. The feces of the larvae can also become treasures, which are simply processed into granules by the machine after drying and can be used as organic fertilizer to return to the field.
Black water fly is a treasure all over the body, why not farm on a large scale? After learning this information, Liu Jie came up with the idea of introducing this magical insect that specializes in swill water for applied research. Liu Jie has this idea because he deeply resents the social problems caused by the kitchen waste generated by the modern urban catering industry. In modern cities, environmental protection problems caused by kitchen waste are frequently reported. Kitchen waste is used by criminals, and the extracted gutter oil floods small restaurants in all corners of the city, seriously endangering people's health. The organic matter contained in the kitchen waste dumped everywhere is easily corroded and polluted through natural fermentation, which is a stubborn disease of urban governance. If there is a proven way to deal with this garbage, it will be a great thing for the benefit of society. Therefore, South Korea's method of cultivating black water fly to deal with kitchen waste is right in his heart, allowing him to see the hope of treating urban catering waste and the huge business opportunities contained in it.
Turning waste into treasure is as simple as that
Later, he hired an expert specializing in black water fly farming from the Korean Academy of Sciences through connections, and built the first black water fly resource application research institute in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. But what he didn't expect was that his ambitious research projects had not been going well. The black water fly that spent a lot of money imported from South Korea has not spawned, and experts have thought of many ways, but they still can't solve this problem, and the reason for not laying eggs has not been found. After tossing and turning for nearly two years, the research did not produce a result, and the human, financial and material resources were put in, and finally failed. Liu Jie was disappointed and had to let the South Korean experts give up their research and return to China. Liu Jie put more than 300,000 yuan into this research project before and after, and finally lost all his money.
Although the investment failed, Liu Jie has not stopped the research on the cultivation of black water fly. Unwilling to accept defeat, he began to explore the black water fly breeding technology on his own. One day in 2013, he inadvertently found a small insect similar to a black water fly on a dairy farm, and then he took this insect to expert identification, and after some argumentation, experts confirmed that this fly is called bright-spotted flat-horned water fly, which is widely distributed in China. Compared with the Black Fingered Water Fly from Korea, although it is a close relative, the habits of the two insects are very different, and compared with the exotic fly produced in Korea, the bright-spotted flat-horned water fly is more adaptable to the Chinese environment and more successful in breeding.
The experts' argument gave Liu Jie the confidence to continue his research and breeding of black water flies. After that, he invested funds to start a large-scale breeding of black water fly on his family farm, and experimented with the use of black water fly larvae to treat kitchen waste, chicken manure, pig manure, rabbit manure and other black water fly breeding application projects, in order to obtain first-hand detailed and reliable research data, laying the foundation for the future development of the black water fly breeding industry.
When Liu Jie was bent on the breeding of black water fly and was ready to do a big job, the family was all against him breeding black water fly. The family believes that he invested funds in the breeding of black water fly is to throw money into the water, which is a very unreliable thing, and he has invested more than 300,000 yuan to ask experts to breed Korean black water fly blood examples before, and advised him to take advantage of the fact that he is not deep enough to quickly close, otherwise this time will lose more. But the stubborn Liu Jie is a person who goes all the way to the black, and when he finds the right thing, the Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't pull it back, he told his wife, when Guan Yunchang was defeated and took Maicheng, I didn't believe that I didn't succeed for a day. You wait and see, I don't believe in evil anymore, I must raise a good fly to make a sample for you to see.
After that, despite the opposition of his family, Liu Jie still stayed at his farm day and night to beat his precious black water fly. Seeing that Liu Jie had lost a lot of weight because of the tiredness of raising insects, Xianhui's wife was distressed again. So in order to help him share a little hard work, she also joined in, and together with him, she kept looking up the information of black water fly on the Internet, added some qq groups of black water fly, asked netizens for experience in breeding black water fly, and then practiced with Liu Jie.
Kung Fu pays off. After careful research and breeding, by 2014, Liu Jie's family farm had tens of millions of black water flies. At the same time, through the use of food waste, chicken manure, pig manure, rabbit manure, yellow mealworm manure and other experiments to breed black water fly, but also obtained first-hand data. Next, Liu Jie began to expand the scale of black water fly breeding, contact sales channels for his own products, and promote his kitchen waste ecological harmless treatment project online and offline through his own website and media advertisements, and attract investment for his next step to expand reproduction.
Make the black water fly industry chain bigger
After the news of Liu Jie's success by breeding black water fly spread, lovers of black water fly breeding all over the country and people who wanted to get rich by breeding black water fly came to him to learn from him. And with a kind and helpful personality, he unreservedly imparted his breeding experience and knowledge to them free of charge, helping them to embark on the road to prosperity one by one. Due to the short breeding cycle of black water fly, the wide source of feed, and the small investment, Liu Jie trained hundreds of trainees from all over the country in a short period of time, helping them obtain economic benefits in a relatively short period of time. At the same time, by selling seeds and eggs, he also had a considerable income. For his future, Liu Jie said: "Punching and making strange moves can win, climbing to the top of the mountain has spectacles, no matter what you do, you must compete for the first, do small projects to the extreme, we will have endless money." My black water fly farming business, even if it develops according to the current model, has a very broad future. Nowadays, relying on the viral spread of the Network, every day netizens come to my base through QQ and WeChat to investigate, relying on the snowball-like development, black water fly breeding I firmly believe that it will be bigger.
When it comes to the prospects and benefits of black water fly farming in the future, Liu Jie, who is full of confidence, has calculated an account. He said that according to relevant statistics, the amount of kitchen waste generated by the four districts in Heze City, Shandong Province, is 180 tons per day, and there are more than 20,000 tons of swill waste every year. Now the state invests in the construction of a county-level kitchen waste treatment site, the cost is about 4.5 million yuan, if you build an equal scale, specially use black water fly larvae to treat catering waste, the investment is only 300,000 yuan, the benefits generated are the same, so the market potential of black water fly breeding is very large. Coupled with the characteristics of fast growth rate, short cycle, strong reproductive and regeneration ability, and high food conversion rate, large-scale breeding "Qianjing" is very broad. Moreover, China is the largest importer of feed additive fishmeal, as far as the current situation is concerned, domestic fishmeal production is far from meeting the demand, and the contradiction between supply and demand is prominent. In this way, it has created unprecedented business opportunities for the cultivation and expansion of black water fly. If black water fly products completely replace fishmeal, it means that the annual demand for black water fly products is more than 1.3 million tons, and the output value is more than 10 billion.
At present, Liu Jie has sent his experimental breeding of black water fly insect oil, insect protein powder, etc. to the authoritative testing agency designated by the Ministry of Agriculture for testing, if you can get the affirmation of the authoritative department, replace fishmeal with black water fly products, then it means that the annual demand for black water fly products is about 1.3 million tons, and the output value is more than 10 billion yuan. In that way, his career will have a qualitative leap forward. Today, the construction project of the ecologically harmless garbage disposal station he designed for food waste has been completed and put into operation, and a Korean company has also reached a cooperation intention with him to underwrite the dried black water fly larvae at a high price. Everything is developing in the direction of hope, I believe that in the future days, Liu Jie and his black water fly career will go farther and farther, and the cause will become more and more prosperous.
