Choose a temperature environment suitable for the growth of crocodiles and build an amphibious farm for crocodiles to live in. Crocodiles have high requirements on water temperature, so farms should be equipped with heat preservation and heating equipment, and heating should not be interrupted in winter to avoid crocodile catching a cold and causing group death. Crocodiles are carnivores, and they need to be fed enough meat regularly and quantitatively every day. Breeders should pay attention to avoid being hurt by crocodiles during the feeding process.

If you want to prepare for breeding crocodiles, you should know whether the local environment is suitable for breeding crocodiles after applying for relevant documents from local government departments, and then choose to build farms according to the needs of crocodiles for growing environment and buy crocodile fish for breeding.

First, the preparation and precautions before breeding

1, crocodile farm construction

Crocodiles have high requirements on environmental temperature, and the optimum temperature for breeding crocodiles should be around 28 degrees. When building a farm, it is necessary to ensure that the heat preservation and heating functions are complete. Generally, you can use sun panels and insulation boards to keep warm, boilers and floor heaters to keep warm, and charcoal burning or electric furnaces to keep warm when the weather is cold in winter. Crocodiles are amphibians and need two habitats: water and land.

2. Introduce suitable crocodile seedlings.

At present, Tai Goose is a crocodile breed cultivated in China. Because crocodiles have high requirements on temperature, Hainan is the first place to breed crocodiles. Crocodiles in the market can be divided into young crocodiles (20-30cm long, 40-50cm long) and one-meter crocodiles according to their body length, which are cheap, but the breeding time is long and the survival rate is low. However, 1m crocodiles have passed the fragile period in the early stage.

3, crocodile feed feeding

Crocodiles are carnivores and not vegetarians. Feed must be meat, but crocodiles have strong resistance and low requirements for feed. Generally, it can be fed with pig lungs, heads and skeletons of chickens and ducks. If there is a poultry farm near the crocodile farm, you can buy some dead pigs and chickens to feed the crocodile, but it is best to remove the poultry's hair before feeding it.

4. Prevention of crocodile diseases

Crocodiles are very resistant. Crocodiles rarely get sick as long as the farms are cleaned and disinfected regularly during the breeding period. If the crocodile has eye diseases such as white eyes or red eyes, sprinkle some salt in the water for disinfection, and the crocodile can heal itself.

Two. Matters needing attention in raising crocodile seedlings

The scales of newborn alligator seedlings with a body length of about 10-20cm are still weak, and their adaptability to external factors such as water temperature, environment and weather is poor. In the process of breeding, farmers should not only supervise the daily feeding and water quality, but also provide a cool and humid living environment for crocodile seedlings, and try to avoid direct sunlight to avoid crocodile seedlings from dying due to excessive water loss.

The water temperature can be controlled at the daily water temperature, neither too low nor too high. When the weather is cold in winter, if the water temperature reaches below zero, all kinds of warm-keeping facilities should be used, but they should be kept on and off during heating to prevent crocodile colds from causing group deaths.
