Money turtle rapid culture method
The three-lined shell turtle is a national second-class animal that has high medicinal value. At present, wild turtles are increasingly scarce. In order to protect wild resources, our farms are cultivating artificially. The techniques are as follows: 1. The construction of turtle ponds can be based on the types of turtle ponds. Because the latter is convenient in management, it is easier to accept. It consists of pools, land, spawning pools and turtle nests. Turtle nests must be shaded and protected from escape, damage to the enemy, and easy washing. Adult turtle breeding density of about 20 per square meter, water depth of 10 cm, pro shell, hatchlings, hatchlings, as appropriate, addition and subtraction, pool water just to be able to submerge the turtle is appropriate. Second, feed requirements According to the omnivorous habits of the money turtle mainly based on meat, the use of artificial compound feed can make the money turtle rapid growth. Each day, it takes 3-5% of the body weight of the turtle and feeds it 1-2 times. Animal feedstuffs include fish, shrimp, frogs, lean pork, chicken, duck, eggs, raw and cooked bones, animal viscera, and quail. Vegetable feeds include: peanut cakes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, corn, flour, leaves, fruits, etc. The animal and vegetable feed ratio of 7:3 or 6;4 was minced by a meat grinder to give artificial feed containing 35% to 40% protein. The proper amount of protein, phosphorus, calcium and sodium in the feed is the key to rapid growth. Third, the daily management of the turtle due to artificial intensive feeding, so daily management is very important, the quality of management is the key to successful breeding. Especially water temperature, water quality, feed, sunshine, and disease control. Keep the water temperature as low as 28-32°C. Clean the turtle body and turtle pool daily, strengthen the sunbathing, and feed the medicine bait or medicated bath every half month or month. Do a good job of anti-theft and anti-escape work. Fourth, the disease prevention and treatment of money turtles have a strong ability to resist disease, but if improper feeding is also easy to get sick, once the disease is difficult to find and treat. Therefore, we should observe turtle's dynamics, appetite and feces more on weekdays. Medications for baits and medicated baths include oxytetracycline, potassium permanganate, penicillin, furazolidone, and the like, so that disease-free prophylaxis and disease early treatment are available. Artificially reared turtles will no longer be afraid of human habits. When you grasp it and feed it, you will stretch your neck to look at you. If it is found that the turtle has reduced its head, refuses to eat, abnormal feces, light or often soaked in water, you should suspect whether you have gastroenteritis, esophagitis, parasites, hydromycosis, etc., should be given medication or intramuscular injection. Fifth, the turtle breeding male and female turtle ratio of 1:3 is more reasonable. The money turtle will lay eggs every year after sexual maturity. The time for laying eggs is April-September. Every time 1-8 eggs are produced, 4-6 turtles will be born each time. The individual turtles can produce two eggs a year. If there are few or no eggs, most of the eggs are unreasonable or light. Not enough. The author's practice shows that egg production and fertility rate are determined by feed, water quality, water temperature, and light. The hatching rate is determined by the hatching technique. Artificial hatching is the best way. Whether the use of electricity or water incubation should be managed, to prevent the occurrence of oxygen deficiency, mold and burning eggs and so on. According to the author's practice, using a constant temperature incubation for about 60-75 days, turtle seedlings can be shelled out. 6. Safe winter wild turtles are wintering on the shore and are generally safely indoors for winter. Winter turtles also have drinking habits, so provide turtles with drinking water. It is best not to soak the turtles in the water during the winter, and it is the most reasonable way to use winter water or land turtles or turtle ponds. Or warming the turtle during the hibernation period, changing the hibernation period is an important decision for the growth period of the money turtle to grow quickly and efficiently. The method is to increase the room temperature, so that the temperature of the turtle pool water reaches about 28-32°C.
