Breeding frogs in a natural and scientific way

In a field of business there is no reason to find hard work, all that hard will be easy if there is a willingness to try and commit to run the business.

Most people degrade the creativity of a person's hard work. They are made to insult, berate the unnecessary. One of the successful business stories of Frog Cultivation.

Superior Frog Business Promises a Wealth Bearer - Every year Indonesian frog thigh exports continue to rise. Nevertheless, many requests from abroad are forced to be rebuffed. The reason, we still rely on the toads of catches from the increasingly depleted nature, The only way for exports to be guaranteed is to cultivate it.

Can not be denied, as a tropical country, Indonesia holds a lot of potential that can be used as a source of foreign exchange. One of them is a frog, which is not so common to be our meal, but precisely so prestigious dish for the population of 4-seasons climate.

Already since 1969, Indonesia was able to reach the dollar through the thighs of the frogs it exported. And in the period 1947 - 1979 Indonesia including the big 3 in addition to India and Bangladaesh as a frog-producing country. Since 1985 until now the number of exports continues to increase. Except in 1987, the volume had decreased due to depletion of the number of frogs in nature due to drought.

Year 1987 recorded 900 tons of frog thighs that have been exported One of the companies producing beef meat in Indonesia. In 1988 as many as 1,300 tons, in 1989 at an estimated 1,500 tons and the following years are expected to be even higher.

Constraints again - again about raw materials. It turns out that most of the frogs that we export are the catches from nature. The result is certainly predictable, the depletion of frog populations in nature. Although the Beetle-producing company in Indonesia is still optimistic to raise its export figures, it must expand its wings. If he has obtained raw materials from Java, Kalimantan and Sulawesi, he is now preparing to explore the eastern part of Indonesia.

Spawning System

• Naturally

Male and female parent that has been separated for 1-2 days put together in spawning pond. Wild fish can interfere with spawning results. Note that frog eggs are not wasted water. In the afternoon or early morning when the temperature begins to decline, then we need to help smooth the process of spawning, ie by making artificial rain.

• Hypopharization System

The latest way to spawn frogs is by way of injecting mating system using pituitary gland extract to stimulate frogs to mate according to the time we want. With this system we can intensify the hatchery, reduce deaths, care for fertilized frog eggs in a separate place, guarantee that the eggs will be fertilized by sperm completely and not

require artificial rain. Injections of the female body are common to the back, abdominal cavity and head. how to injection in the abdominal cavity is selected.

Reproduction and Marriage

Frogs that were about to be injected were accommodated in aquariums with little water and covered with wire mesh to facilitate catching. the frogs are old enough and in the mature state of eggs. When the frog injections wrapped with hapa cloth so as not to wriggle.

The injected frog is then removed in another aquarium and monitored hourly. After 12 hours, the frog was injected back so they could lay eggs entirely. After the female is injected twice and shows the eggs, we prepare the testes from the male parent. Sperm is removed from the testicles by cutting it with a small sharp needle and inserted into a petri dish that is filled with clean pool water. After the water in the cup becomes turbid and the testes are empty, the testicular liquid is left for 10 minutes at room temperature. If the sperm is active (we can see under the microscope), the female frogs lay eggs in order for their eggs to come out. Eggs are attempted to fall over the sperm fluid, then wobble and leave for a few minutes. Eggs that undergo fertilization will experience rotation.

The eggs are then incubated and the water is replaced daily by keeping the temperature in the 24-27 degree C range and water pH is also observed. In natural systems, artificial rain is used to stimulate the frog marriage process, as described above.
