Earthworm "miner" in Kyiv, Lviv, Luhansk.

Rainfall (compost) the worm"miner", obtained in the laboratory of Professor A. M. Hominem in Vladimir pedagogical University in 1986 by crossing individuals two spatially distant populations (Vladimir local population and Kyrgyz populations from the Chui valley) manure worms Eisenia foetida.

In scientific and production laboratory of Luhansk national agrarian the University is developing technology for processing organic waste using vermicultivation using as vermiculture earthworm "miner".

Rain worms originated in the Precambrian era, and Piearce with employees (1990) described fossil embryos worms with preserved part of the cell wall found in layers below the late bronze age Potter (Wiltshire, UK).

Used in vermitechnology kind "worms", includes the species of dung, earth and many other worms. By Dogiel (1975) they belong to the family rain (Lumbricidae), the group of higher multiseta (Lumbricomorpha), class multiseta (Оligochaeta), subtype paskovich (Clitellata), type ringed (Annelida), subclass, multi-celled, animal Kingdom.
Century,, Perel T. C. (1982) divided the worms into three ecological groups:
- surface-dwelling, including in the composts (E. foetida, Dendroboena
oktaedra, Lumbricus castaneus);
- soil-litter (Lumbricus rubellus, Eisenia nordenekioldi);
- nomiki living in deep soil layers (Lumbricus terrestris, Dendroboena
platura).

The worm "miner" refers to a type of rain compost worm Eisenia foetida. Indoor cultivation of rain worms "Miner" is year-round. Their main feature is that they are designed for faster and better recycling of organic wastes from agriculture and industry (animal manure, poultry manure, plant residues, sewage sludge treatment plants, waste processing enterprises of the food industry) in vermicompost - highly effective organic fertilizer, which improves agrochemical properties, improves quality and increases yield of agricultural products.

Distinctive
features of earthworms "Staratel"

• work in a much larger temperature range from +8 to +29°C.
• continue laying eggs even at the temperature of +8° to +10°C.
• different perseverance in the substrate
• The genetic potential of the worm "miner" in the year to produce offspring in 1500 individuals and 100 kg of vermicompostand.
• From 1 ton of compost it is possible to get 600 kg vermicompostand 10 - 15 kg of worms.

 

But the most important difference between - rain worms "Miner" are relatively easy to switch from one type of feed per another; they are adapted to the very different food substrate - manure (cow, horse etc.,), kitchen waste, precipitation, wastewater, last year's leaves, paper, etc., They retain high the viability and performance at high density on unit volume of the substrate.

Multiple analyses parasitological data status compost worms confirm the conclusions of Professor A. M. Igonina about their property yourself to be free from nematodes of vegetable and animal origin. This indicates the possibility of feeding the chickens, chickens, ducks, geese, pond fish. This is a great protein food for these species of animals, saving other expensive food (as grain) and large gain.
