How to raise turtles?

First, the correct feeding method of soft-shelled turtle

1. Turtle is an amphibian and breathes with its lungs, so there should be enough land beaches around or in the center of the turtle pond for it to carry out land activities. Turtles are sensitive to the sounds of their surroundings. As long as there is a slight movement around, turtles can quickly dive into the bottom mud, so the breeding environment must be kept quiet. If the soft-shelled turtle is often frightened, it is very unfavorable to its growth and reproduction.

Turtles like to stay in an environment with good water quality, so the owner must change the water frequently, about once every 2-3 days.

3. Turtle should bask in the sun more, because ultraviolet rays in the sun can kill pathogenic bacteria on the body surface, promote the healing of injured body surface, raise body temperature and promote food digestion by basking in the back.

Turtle is an aquatic omnivore and likes to eat animal bait. Young turtles feed on aquatic insects, water worms, tadpoles and shrimps. Adult soft-shelled turtles feed on mollusks such as snails and clams, fish, shrimp and animal carcasses, and also eat plant feed such as vegetables, fruits and miscellaneous grains. Little turtle, you can cut the meat into diced meat and feed it to him slowly.

When feeding with fresh materials, it must be disinfected and cleaned, and it should be eaten now to avoid corruption. The bait should be cast in the form of bait, and the bait should be 2-3 cm above the water surface. Soft-shelled turtle is timid, so it should be fed with as little interference as possible.

6. In the south, soft-shelled turtles hibernate at the end of 1 1, while in the north they hibernate one month earlier. There is no need to prepare another place to hibernate, just spread half the sand in the basin on the water. It may climb out of the water and sleep motionless on the beach for dozens of days, and then unconsciously fall into the water to sleep for dozens of days.

7. Pay attention to mosquito prevention in summer. The tortoise is very afraid of mosquitoes.

8. Turtles are fierce and aggressive, and bullying among groups is very common. When food is scarce, they will eat the same kind. Therefore, in the process of feeding, we should feed enough food and pay close attention to their movements.

Second, the selection method of soft-shelled turtle

1. Mainly depends on various parts of the tortoise. Excellent soft-shelled turtle with complete appearance, no injury, muscular hypertrophy, shining abdominal armor, blurred back scapula and ribs, thick and upturned skirt, stout legs and agile movements; On the contrary, it is an inferior turtle.

2. Grab the turtle's anti-leg nest by hand, such as a fast-moving, kicking, fierce and powerful turtle; If the activity is not flexible, the four feet move slightly or even don't move, it is an inferior turtle.

3. mainly check whether the high collar has crochet. Soft-shelled turtle with hook and needle can't be stored for a long time and transported for a long distance. Inspection method: You can bite the turtle's head with a hard bamboo chopstick, then stretch its neck with one hand and touch it with the other.

4. Turn the tortoise upside down and lay it flat on the ground. If you can turn over quickly, escape quickly and move flexibly, you are a superior turtle; If the turnover is slow and the action is slow, they are all inferior turtles.

5. The clear water turtle with blue backlight is better than the yellow sand turtle with yellow back shell; A turtle with a tail over its back shell is male, and vice versa. The male is better than the female. Generally, 750 grams of male water turtles are better. Soft-shelled turtles bitten by mosquitoes have the worst quality.

People often confuse turtles with turtles. In fact, they are not so similar, as long as you observe them carefully.

Third, a simple way to distinguish turtles from turtles:

1, Ukraine * * * is round; The tortoise has a sharp head.

2. The tortoise has a hard shell; The turtle shell is soft and smooth.

3. The tortoise has patterns on its back; The tortoise has no pattern on its back, a soft skirt on the edge, a flexible head and neck, and five claws on each limb, which makes it crawl quickly. Judging from the appearance and color, turtles usually have dark green backs and limbs, and some have light brown backs and red bellies.

Turtles don't bite. If you touch the tortoise with a branch or something, it will draw its head back. If the tortoise wants to bite, it will bite if it touches the branch with something like a branch.

Four, turtle small file:

1. Species: Soft-shelled turtle is a general term for aquatic soft-shelled turtle of Tortoise, also known as soft-shelled turtle, water fish, mud turtle and tortoise. * * * There are more than 20 kinds. There are mainly soft-shelled turtle, Eriocheir sinensis, soft-shelled turtle and Eriocheir sinensis in China, among which soft-shelled turtle is the most common.

2. Appearance: The head is like a turtle, but sharper than the head. The edge of the shell is soft and oval in shape. The carapace on its back is covered with a soft outer membrane and surrounded by delicate skirts. The head, neck and limbs can stretch, and each limb has five claws, so it crawls very quickly. From the appearance color, the turtle's back and limbs are usually dark green, some are light brown, and the abdomen is white and red.

3. About the tortoise: The tortoise is a national first-class protected animal, which is extremely rare and precious. It is a more endangered "giant panda in water" than the Chinese sturgeon.

4. Medicinal value of soft-shelled turtle: all parts of soft-shelled turtle can be used as medicine, which has the effects of nourishing yin and clearing away heat, calming the liver and replenishing essence, softening hardness and removing blood stasis. According to folklore, turtle blood can also treat anemia, lung disease, heart disease, asthma, neurasthenia and so on.

How much does it cost to raise a turtle?

Building a house with a shed is about 1.3 million yuan, and raising about 25 thousand turtles can earn 1 to 1.5 million yuan according to the current average market price, and it can be sold in eight months.

Skillfully Raising Soft-shelled Turtle to Reduce Cost

First, choose the most economical and applicable bait. Choose fish, shrimp, snails, mussels, animal scraps, frozen products, premix and compound feed according to the place and time.

Second, homemade feed. Small farmers (farms) should purchase simple equipment such as mixers according to the actual situation, process bait and mix it, and crush small miscellaneous fish, shrimp, worms, snails and animal viscera with a small amount of premix and vegetables, which can reduce costs and improve benefits.

Third, save bait. According to the growth period and feeding situation of soft-shelled turtle, the daily feeding amount generally accounts for about 3% of its weight, so it is necessary to master the feeding amount and times at any time to reduce waste.

How to raise turtles

This depends on where you have it. In fact, there are no special requirements for the general gameplay. You can find a big basin or a bigger glass fish tank. Fish feed and fry are generally fed as food, and appropriate amount of bread and steamed bread residue can also be fed. It is best to have a platform above the water in the fish tank.

If you want to raise turtles of a certain scale, you can use the following methods:

1, choose a good variety. According to the preferences of the general public and the needs of the market, the soft-shelled turtle weighs 500 ~1000g, and is slim, mainly yellow-green, with black and yellow pattern spots on its back, pale yellow and white at the bottom of its abdomen, without spots. Although this kind of turtle grows slower than the turtle with no pattern on the back (commonly known as "smooth plate") and a little pattern on the abdomen, its meat quality and taste are better than the latter, so its value and price are better.

2. Turn off the water quality. The quality of water directly affects the culture effect of soft-shelled turtle. The pond water is too fat and even stinks, which is not only bad for the growth of soft-shelled turtle, but also affects its meat taste. Under normal circumstances, clean river water is injected into the pool every other week or so, accounting for about a quarter of the original pool. Clean up the leftovers on the table regularly. In addition, water hyacinth, which accounts for about half of the whole pond, is planted in the pond. On the one hand, it can purify the water quality, on the other hand, it can provide a hidden and quiet place for turtles to meet their natural living habits as much as possible.

3. Do a good job in disease prevention. In the pond with convenient irrigation and drainage and good escape prevention facilities, 2~3 fry (50 ~ 100g) with basically the same size are stocked per square meter. Usually every 15 days or so, 30 ~ 50g quicklime is sprinkled per cubic meter of water. No trampling or catching turtles in the pond is allowed unless there are very special circumstances. At the same time, bamboo rafts are used to build some drying platforms for turtles to dry their backs.

Although it takes a long time to raise turtles in this way, it takes about three years from fry to 500 grams of commercial turtles, including two hibernation periods, but its economic benefits are good. The feed cost and seedling cost per kilogram do not exceed that of 60 yuan, and the rest belong to income. This method is suitable for family small-scale aquaculture.

How to raise turtles

1, rot skin disease. Prevention and control methods: control the feeding density of soft-shelled turtle, isolate it in time and change the pool water frequently. Spray the whole pool with1*10-6 ~ 2 *10-6 bleaching powder every week for disinfection. Isolate the sick soft-shelled turtle in time, repeatedly bathe with 2* 10-6~3* 10-6 quicklime or bleaching powder for 5 ~6 days, and put it back to the original pond for culture after it is confirmed to be cured. Sprinkle soft-shelled turtle Su Kang 20* 10-6~40* 10-6 in the whole pond once a day, change the water frequently, and stop dying after 2 ~3 days.

2. Hemorrhagic diseases. Prevention and treatment: Ill fish should be treated in isolation in time, and oral sulfonamides or antibiotics or smearing are effective.

3. Mucor. Apply malachite green ointment 1% to the affected area/kloc-0 once a day for 3-5 times in a row.

4, red neck disease. Oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline are added to the feed. Take 0 per kilogram of soft-shelled turtle, 1 day? 2 grams, the drug is halved from the second day to the sixth day, and it is made into drug bait for feeding. Or1.50,000 ~ 0.20,000/kg soft-shelled turtle was intraperitoneally injected with gentamicin and kanatoxin at the base of hind limbs.

5, water model. Prevention and control methods: First of all, we should control the feeding density, the specifications and sizes are neat, the water temperature is constant at about 30℃, and vitamins are often added to the feed. In addition, use 3* 10-6 malachite green solution to bathe the sick turtle for 30 minutes, and repeat it several times.

We'll know when we meet slowly.

What's the difference between cultured turtles and wild turtles?

The difference is obvious:

1. hand

Wild turtles often play in the water, and their sharp claws are yellow and badly worn. But cultured turtles don't paddle often, and their claws are short and pale.

Step 2 nail it back

Wild tortoise shells have smooth back, thin and uniform skin, and a sense of wax light, which can be seen in the carapace corridor. However, the back skin of cultured tortoise shells is slightly thick, and the wart grains are rough and dull, so it is not easy to see the shell gallery like toad skin.

colour

Wild turtles are gray-black, khaki, brown and black spots. The cultured turtles are mostly black-green, yellow-green, and moss-colored.

body type

Wild soft-shelled turtle is proud and healthy, slightly flat, and its muscles are tense due to the long-term hard foraging. The cultured turtles are swollen, thick and clumsy, and their muscles are soft.

5. Abdominal nails

The elastic strength of abdominal cartilage of wild soft-shelled turtle is high, and the resilience of finger pressing is high. However, the abdominal cartilage of cultured soft-shelled turtle is weak, and it feels soft and weak when pressed with fingers.

Be wild

Wild soft-shelled turtle is aggressive, wild and flexible, and it is easy to compete for territory in the case of small space. The cultured soft-shelled turtle is not wild, fierce, inflexible and inactive.
