The study was conducted to culture Tubificid worms under running water in order to develop a suitable culture media and an optimum duration of media inoculation for culturing Tubificid worms. The worms were cultured under two experiments in cemented culvert system (160×25×10 cm3 ) for 90 days. In the first experiment the worms were cultured in three different media designated as treatment-I, treatment-II and treatment-III. The highest yield (503.39±22.98 mg cm-2) was found at 70th day of culture duration in the culture media containing a mixture of 35% mustard oil cake, 20% wheat bran, 25% cow-dung and 20% fine sand (treatment-III). Only 1.99 kg media ingredients valued BDT 29.85 were needed to yield 1 kg worms. In the second experiment, the worms were cultured at three different intervals of media inoculation i.e., 6, 10 and 15 days interval designated as treatment-I, treatment-II and treatment-III respectively using the media found best in the first experiment. Inoculation of media at 10 days interval showed significantly (P<0.01) higher production (488.94±5.60 mg cm-2). 000209720 650__ $$aLivestock Production/Industries 000209720 6531_ $$aTubificid worms 000209720 6531_ $$aOligochaeta 000209720 6531_ $$aCulture media 000209720 6531_ $$aIntervals of media inoculation 000209720 700__ $$aMollah, M.F.A. 000209720 700__ $$aMosharaf, K. 000209720 700__ $$aMariom 000209720 773__ $$q325$$o330$$tJournal of the Bangladesh Agricultural University$$j10$$k2$$d2012 000209720 8564_ $$92a7dac4e-d56b-4cc4-8734-0baa9e4acaed$$s281122$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/209720/files/14925-54284-1-PB.pdf 000209720 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/209720 000209720 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:209720$$pGLOBAL_SET 000209720 912__ $$nSubmitted by Allison Hasslen (hassl020@umn.edu) on 2015-09-23T13:42:50Z No. of bitstreams: 1 14925-54284-1-PB.pdf: 281122 bytes, checksum: 0afd60e288e9282136353ec8ac994f84 (MD5) 000209720 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-09-23T13:42:50Z (GMT).
