Research status and development trend of earthworm separation technology and equipment
Earthworm compost is widely used in the treatment of urban waste and livestock manure.The separation and harvesting of earthworms was a very important step in the later stage of earthworm farming.Currently,the separation of live earthworms,cocoons,feces,and breeding substrates was inefficient and costly,which restricts the development of the earthworm farming industry.This article reviews the commonly used active and passive separation methods for earthworm separation at home and abroad,as well as the current application status of related separation equipment in practical production.It analyzed the problems existing in the current earthworm separation technology and equipment in practical application,and explored the future research and development direction of earthworm separation equipment,in order to provide ideas and references for the improvement of earthworm separation and harvesting technology and equipment research and development in China.
