How should turtles be raised? Turtle farming method

Soft-shell turtle, also known as the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, is commonly known as a soft-shelled turtle, water fish, and king eight. the cultivation methods mainly include factory cultivation and pond cultivation.

Water temperature control

The water temperature is 20??-30?? for turtles to grow The optimal temperature range is when the water temperature is higher than 20 ??, the turtle begins to feed, and the food intake increases with the increase of the water temperature. When the water temperature is lower than the optimal temperature, the feed conversion rate will decrease; when the water temperature is higher than the optimal temperature, the feed conversion rate will also decrease due to the increase in activity, so the water temperature should be kept within the optimal temperature range, too high or too low. will result in a waste of feed.

Feeding

Feeding method Underwater feeding is suitable for the feeding habits of soft-shelled turtles, which can speed up the feeding speed of soft-pelleted turtles. Saves feed than feeding in lumps.

Controlling the feeding amount of soft-shelled turtles are greatly affected by changes in environmental factors. When changes in air temperature, water temperature, and medication are used, the feeding amount should be adjusted considering the impact on soft-shelled turtles. Generally, underwater feeding should be used. Control to eat within 30 minutes.

The rapid growth of soft-shelled turtles can easily lead to the increase or overload of the soft-shelled turtle’s physiological load when it is excessively fed, which will cause damage to the internal organs of the soft-shelled turtle and induce visceral diseases.

Feed selection

The cost of feed accounts for about 40% of the cost of breeding. The feeding method of the feed and the quality of the selected feed determine the quality of the feed and The success or failure of cost control. Through the final benefit analysis, comparing the price of high-quality and inferior feed and the comprehensive breeding cost, we can get out of the misunderstanding of choosing feed based on price alone.

Water quality regulation

Turtles are naturally liking for cleanliness and fear getting dirty. A good water environment is an important condition for the stable growth of turtles. determines the success or failure of farming.

The main purpose of oxygenating the water body is to reduce the content of harmful gas and organic matter in the water body and to ensure the smooth flow of oxygenation facilities. However, it is necessary to choose oxygenation within a fixed period of time to make the turtles form a habit and reduce the disturbance of oxygenation in the turtles.

Rational use of microbial preparations The rational use of microbial preparations can greatly save investment in water quality regulation and other aspects.

Sewage discharge and water change Regular sewage discharge is an effective means to control water quality, and water change is the most direct way to adjust water quality.

Disease control

The juvenile soft-shelled turtle should be disinfected before entering the pool, and 2% should be used before entering the pool. Soak juvenile nails in a salt solution for 30 minutes. Beware of mycosis before the turtle weighs 50 grams. At this stage, the physique of juvenile nails should be strengthened, and avoiding mechanical damage is the focus of prevention work; when the turtle weighs 50-150 grams, beware of the occurrence of white spot disease, and daily disinfection is mainly based on bromine and chlorine preparations; when the body weight is 50 grams to adult nails, beware The occurrence of boils.
