Adult breeding techniques

Adult breeding techniques

1. Turtle farming methods There are four breeding methods for turtles: One is warming culture, and the warming time is the wintering stage of natural farming. The second is the plastic shed insulation culture, its characteristics can be extended in the late spring and early summer and late summer and early autumn two months breeding time. The third is the open-air earthen pond farming at room temperature, which is divided into two kinds: single-cultivation and turtle fish polyculture. Fourth, the courtyard and farmer raising turtles, generally choose the room behind the house, there is water, sunny, warm and quiet free land to open the pool or the existing water surface for turtles.

2. Preparation of turtles for stocking before stocking: Carry out trimming and disinfection of turtle ponds, including clear ponds, disinfection, inspection of escape prevention walls, water inlet and outlet pipes, and trimming. When stocking, it's best to do it separately. The stocking time should be selected in late April or early May, when the water temperature is stable at 18°C-20°C. Before hatching, hatchlings should be disinfected by drug inoculation.

Stocking and Width: The stocking standards for different breeding methods in the adult turtle stage are shown in Table 1. In practical applications, they should be increased or decreased according to the technical level of their breeding conditions.

3. Daily Management of Adult Turtle Feed and Feeding Methods:

Feed: The turtle's animal natural feed includes snails, clams, fresh fish, squid, shrimp, livestock processing by-products, and artificial compound feeds with a protein content of 40%.

For natural feed and processing by-product feed, the feed coefficient is generally 8-15, and the artificial compound feed is 2.0 or so. In practice, each (dry weight) artificial compound feed, plus 1%-2% of vegetables, plus 3.5-4 parts (wet weight) of fresh fish meat or poultry, livestock waste, etc., fully mixed, Into a mass. Press 1st and 1st in the afternoon to feed the animals.

Feeding: See Table 2 for the standard of feeding at normal temperature in each month. The increase and decrease of feed is generally based on the following principles: increase the feeding amount with increasing body lice of the turtle; when the water temperature is stable at 30°C and sunny, the feeding amount should be increased appropriately; on rainy days, it should be reduced as appropriate; if it encounters rainy weather, It is best to put shelters above the feed level to ensure proper feeding and feeding of the turtles. During the vigorous growing seasons of June, July and August, fresh feed should be fed as far as possible to maintain a balanced diet. When the water temperature drops below 18°C, feeding should be stopped.
