CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Turtle breeding technology pond

1. What is the technology of ecological turtle breeding in Lingtang?

1. Pond conditions: After the pond dries up at the end of the year, remove excess silt, build slopes and embankments, and clean the pond with 150-200 kg of quicklime or 10-15 kg of bleaching powder per mu. Drain the pond water 7 days after cleaning, and add new water after exposing it to the sun for several days.

2. Water chestnut planting: In March, plant 25 kg of water chestnuts per mu. When they grow up, the water chestnut leaves will cover about 80% of the water surface.

3. Release of soft-shelled turtles: In March, 120 healthy soft-shelled turtles (250 g/piece) are released per mu. The soft-shelled turtles are bathed in 20 mg/L potassium manganate solution or 10 mg/L bleaching powder solution for 15 minutes before being released into the pond. At the same time, 13 kg of bream with a tail weight of 250 g, 25 kg of silver carp with a tail weight of 170 g, and 30 kg of crucian carp with a tail weight of 50 g are released per mu.

2. How to raise soft-shelled turtles in earthen ponds?

1. Pool construction

Soft-shelled turtles are oviparous animals that live in water. They mostly live in cool places under the water. They have certain requirements for the breeding environment and are afraid of wind, fear of being frightened, and fear of dirt and mess. Therefore, when building a strong breeding pond, you should choose an area that is sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, close to a water source, and convenient for drainage and irrigation, and away from the driveway to avoid being frightened by the sound of whistles. The size of the pond depends on the scale of breeding. The pond requires a slope made of stones and cement to facilitate the crawling of soft-shelled turtles. A layer of fine sand should be laid on the pond and the edge of the pond, and a place for activities and spawning should be built. Wire mesh should be built around the breeding pond to prevent the soft-shelled turtles from escaping. If conditions permit, they can be cultured in separate ponds, and the parent soft-shelled turtles, young soft-shelled turtles and adult soft-shelled turtles can be raised for easy management.

2. Seed selection and stocking

When selecting species, you can choose to choose flat, large and thick turtles, with brown or dark green backs and milky white or light red abdomens. Such turtles are easier to raise and have strong reproductive capacity. If you want to raise and breed them yourself, you should choose turtles that weigh 2kg, are strong, and have no diseases or injuries. Before stocking, the pond should be disinfected and sterilized. First, drain the pond water and then disinfect it with disinfectants. If it is a cement pond, you can use strong hyaluronic acid and water to spray disinfection. If it is an outdoor earth pond, you can use lime solution to spray the entire pond for disinfection. When stocking, you should also pay attention to the density. Generally, 100-150kg of 2-3 year old young turtles are stocked per mu, and the maximum cannot exceed 200kg. In the later stage, the breeding density will be gradually reduced as the turtles grow.

3. Feeding management

Soft-shelled turtles are omnivorous animals that like to eat animal bait. Young soft-shelled turtles generally feed on aquatic insects and earthworms. Adult soft-shelled turtles like to eat fish, shrimp, snails and other animals, and also eat some vegetables, fruits, grains and other plant feeds. Generally, an appropriate amount of corn flour, bean dregs, melons and fruits, and trace elements are added to the feed. Such a reasonable combination can achieve a balanced business, make the soft-shelled turtle grow quickly, and will not have nutritional problems. When feeding, it is necessary to ensure that the feed is fresh. Animal bait is best disinfected before feeding. When feeding, the four principles of fixed quality, fixed point, fixed time, and fixed quantity should be followed. Feed 3 times a day, once in the morning, noon, and evening. Increase the feeding amount according to the growth and food intake of the soft-shelled turtle, feed a little more frequently, and increase slowly.

4. Disease prevention and control

Soft-shelled turtles are afraid of dirt, so it is necessary to keep the breeding site clean and hygienic, and disinfect regularly, especially for outdoor breeding, where the chance of contact with germs is greater and they are more susceptible to diseases. At the same time, water quality and bottom quality management should be strengthened. The remaining bait and soft-shelled turtle excrement in the breeding water will deteriorate the water quality and bottom quality. They accumulate and ferment, produce toxic substances, and affect the growth of soft-shelled turtles. Therefore, regular inspections should be carried out. If the water quality and bottom quality are found to be deteriorating, the water should be changed and the bottom quality should be improved in time.

3. How to build a place for raising soft-shelled turtles?

Step/Method 1

Before building a turtle pond, you must first choose a good location for the pond. You must choose a land that is pollution-free, has convenient electricity and water supply, and convenient transportation. You can also use abandoned ponds for transformation, such as transforming fish and poultry ponds. After the location of the pond is selected, you can start construction.

Step/Method 2

After the pond site is selected, the prototype of the pond can be dug mechanically. The pond must have 30% land area, and the remaining water depth must be controlled at about 1m-1.5m. After the pond is dug, it must be dried for about 5-7 days, and then the bottom of the pond is disinfected with lime.

Step/Method 3

If you are using an abandoned pond to raise soft-shelled turtles, you must do a good job of reconstruction. First, drain the water from the pond, then clean the silt in the pond, and inspect the dam in the pond to prevent leakage and other problems. Then fill the pond with water and use bleach to disinfect it. This can purify the water quality and reduce the number of pathogens in the pond, which will be of great help to future breeding. After the pond is built, you can raise soft-shelled turtles.

4. How to build a turtle breeding pond?

1. How to construct a turtle pond

Choose a pond with an area of ​​about 5 mu, use machinery to dig a shallow pit of about 1-1.2 meters, with more than 75% of the pond as a water pool, leaving about 25% of the land area for the turtle to move around, build a sunbathing platform and a feeding platform for the turtle to bask in the sun and eat food, and build a 1-meter-high escape-proof wall around the breeding pond with asbestos tiles and bricks to prevent the turtle from escaping. After the pond is built, the bottom of the pond should be plowed, the pond should be dried for 4-5 days, and then livestock manure should be sprinkled in. Finally, the pond should be filled with water. The water source should be clean and pollution-free, with a pH value between 7-8.5, dissolved oxygen above 5 mg per liter, and the water temperature maintained at around 30°C.

2. Turtle breeding technology

1. 100-150 kg of 2-3 year old young turtles can be placed per mu. First, place some turtles in the net cages in the breeding pond for about 15 days. If the turtles do not show any discomfort or abnormality, then large-scale stocking can be carried out.

2. Use water: Field snails, small fish, shrimps, loaches, earthworms, insects, etc. in the fields can all be used as feed for turtles. When feeding, feed them 2-3 cm away from the water surface. Feed them at 7 to 8 pm or 5 to 6 am. The weight of each feeding should account for 5% of the turtle's body weight.

3. Change the water every 8 to 10 days. Each time you change the water, drain 20-25 cm of the water level in the pond and then fill it up again. The transparency of the pond water should be controlled at 30-35 cm. Such water quality conditions can allow the turtle to grow better.

4. Male turtles in estrus must be raised in separate ponds. Secondly, there are differences in the feeding abilities of turtles. Larger turtles need to be raised separately, otherwise they will bully weaker turtles and affect the overall breeding efficiency.

3.

If you are using an abandoned pond to raise soft-shelled turtles, you must make sure to renovate it.

6. What is the best way to raise soft-shelled turtles in a pond?

Soft-shelled turtles prefer compound feeds, and through a reasonable combination of animal and plant feeds, the meat yield of soft-shelled turtles can be increased, thereby increasing the yield of soft-shelled turtles. The feeds usually fed to soft-shelled turtles include small fish, shrimps, animal offal, soybean meal, etc. When feeding, the amount used should be reasonably controlled to ensure the basic consumption of the soft-shelled turtle. Feeding once in the morning and evening every day can achieve rapid fattening.

7. How to breed soft-shelled turtles?

Answer 1. Variety selection: Choose fish with flat body, large and thick body, brown or dark green back, milky white or light red belly. 2. Breeding pond: Control the breeding density according to the size of the breeding pond. 3. Water temperature: It is more appropriate to control the temperature at 20-30℃.

4. Water quality: The water transparency should be controlled at about 30 cm. 5. Water depth: The water depth should be maintained at 0.3-0.4 meters, and the highest water level should not exceed 1 meter. 6. Feeding: Soft-shell turtles like to eat animal feed, and the amount of feed should be eaten within 1 hour. 7. Disease prevention: Soft-shell turtles need to be disinfected regularly before entering the pond and in the breeding pond.

8. Pond turtle breeding technology?

The specific techniques for pond turtle farming are as follows:

1. Choose a suitable pond.

Soft-shelled turtles like quietness and are afraid of being startled, like sunshine and are afraid of wind, like cleanliness and are afraid of dirt. Therefore, you should choose a pond with an open and flat ground, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, with a quiet environment, sufficient and pollution-free water, and convenient drainage and irrigation.

2. Patrol the pond regularly and remove dead turtles in a timely manner.

The purpose of pond inspection is to timely understand the turtle's feeding, growth activities, diseases, pond water quality, facilities, etc. Dead turtles in the pond should be promptly fished out and buried or incinerated, and sick turtles should also be isolated and treated in time.

3. Feed appropriately.

In the breeding process, the young turtles in the greenhouse are mainly fed with compound feeds; the commercial turtles in the pond are mainly fed with fresh live animal feeds, which can not only increase the growth rate of the turtles, but also improve the quality of the turtles. In the case of continuous rainy weather, the turtles have a poor appetite and must be fed with easily digestible and absorbable compound feeds to reduce water pollution and enhance the immunity of the turtles.

4. Divide the pond in time.

Soft-shelled turtles are aggressive and should be separated in time to prevent them from biting each other. When young soft-shelled turtles differ greatly in size during the greenhouse stage, they should be separated in time by changing water and disinfecting. When young soft-shelled turtles are moved from the greenhouse to the pond, they should not only be separated according to their size, but also males and females should be kept separately to reduce fighting.

5. Placement and cleaning of the bait table.

The feeding table is best placed on the edge of the pond and at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees to the water surface, which is conducive to the turtle finding food and avoiding interference. Before each feeding, use a mild disinfectant and a sterilized brush to clean the feeding table and its surroundings, and disinfect once every 3 days.
