CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to raise turtles in a field? Can other fish be raised in an eel pond?

1. How to raise soft-shell turtles in fields?

The ecological planting method of turtle breeding includes the following steps: selecting a rice field with sufficient water source, strong water retention capacity and quiet environment as a breeding field, applying rice-specific fertilizer to the rice field; digging a square breeding trough every 14-16m in the rice field, the breeding trough is 0.6-0.7m deep, 3.2-3.8m wide and 2.5m long; selecting healthy and active turtle seedlings and putting them into the rice field breeding trough, the breeding density is 133-200 per mu, and feeding bait during the growth of the turtle until the turtle matures. The raw materials of the rice-specific fertilizer include by weight: 100-140 parts of macronutrient fertilizer, 2-5 parts of coal gangue compound, 1-3 parts of peat, 1-2 parts of sepiolite powder, 0.2-1 parts of diatomaceous earth, 1-2 parts of talcum powder, 0.5-1.2 parts of mica powder, 2-5 parts of adhesive, and 0.4-1 parts of trace element fertilizer.

2. Can other fish be raised in eel ponds?

That depends on what you want to harvest. When stocking turtles in ponds, there are examples of raising them together with some large domestic fish, but this is generally only to improve the quality of the turtles. If you raise them together with eels, it is basically certain that you will not harvest any eels.

3. Raising soft-shelled turtles, what do soft-shelled turtles eat?

Domestic turtle eating feed

The turtles in professional breeding farms now basically eat feed. The turtles are aquatic omnivores, and the young turtles feed on aquatic insects, tadpoles, shrimps, etc.

Generally, there are not too many domestic turtles, so there is no need to buy special turtle feed. When buying vegetables, you can buy some small fish and shrimps, as well as some pork. You can also eat some vegetable leaves, etc. Generally, feed them about twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. The amount of feeding is determined according to the size of the turtle.

4. What to do when raising soft-shelled turtles in ponds during the winter?

The following measures must be taken. 1. Choose a good wintering pond. Wintering ponds should generally be located far away from villages and towns, without pollution sources from factories and mines, and with convenient irrigation and drainage sources. The water depth should be more than 2m, the silt thickness should be about 30cm, the area should be 2-3 mu, and it is better to be sheltered from the wind and facing the sun. If conditions permit, the turtles can be graded and classified according to specifications (parent turtles, adult turtles, young turtles, and juvenile turtles) for wintering. Before harvesting in autumn, the turtles should be disinfected on the surface (soaked in 4% salt water for 10 minutes) and then placed in the pond for wintering. If conditions are not met, the original pond should be used for wintering. 2. Disinfect the water quality. Before wintering, the water quality should be disinfected with standard fishery drugs. After the toxicity is over (about 7-10 days), the turtles can be placed in the pond for wintering. Since the water temperature is high and low, the water quality of the overwintering turtles should be disinfected once 3 days after waking up, and the water quality should be disinfected once a month. For water disinfection, surfactants or iodine drugs with little irritation to turtles should be used, rather than chlorine-containing reagents or quicklime, which are highly irritating to turtles. 3. Strengthen water quality management and keep the water fresh. The water body requires a transparency of 30cm, a pH value of 7.5-8.5, a total ammonia nitrogen of less than 1.5mg/l, hydrogen sulfide of less than 0.06mg/l, and dissolved oxygen of more than 4mg/l. Secondly, use bamboo poles to enclose 60-70m2 of water surface per mu in a corner of the pond with bamboo (net) pieces to plant aquatic plants such as water hyacinth (water hyacinth, narcissus). To purify various harmful substances in the water such as oil, aniline, toluene, phenol and harmful chemical elements such as silver, aluminum, cadmium, phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, iron, sodium, etc. Or put in beneficial bacteria. Such as photosynthetic bacteria, sulfide bacteria, nitrifying bacteria. Increase dissolved oxygen in the water, reduce harmful substances in the water, and inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria. Zeolite powder or bottom cleaning drugs can also be used to purify harmful substances in the bottom mud of the pond.

5. What kind of fish are generally better to raise with duck-billed fish?

In the method of mixed breeding, we need to reasonably control the species, quantity and proportion of fish to be raised. Usually, duckbill fish are mixed with silver carp and herbivorous fish, and the ratio of mixed breeding is controlled at 1:1:8. In order to prevent excessive nutrients in the water body, the number of aquatic plants planted also needs to be controlled, otherwise it is easy to lead to breeding failure.

6. Which is more cost-effective, raising soft-shelled turtles or raising eels?

Hello, I am happy to answer your question. Which is more cost-effective, raising soft-shelled turtles or raising eels?

It mainly depends on how much you plan to spend on raising turtles and eels. You have to make sure that the pond you build will not run away, because turtles and eels are fish that prefer to dig holes and come out later, so you have to make sure that the surrounding area is sealed with cement to ensure that they will not dig holes and drill away. In this way, you can guarantee the profit.

7. What are the profits and risks of raising soft-shelled turtles?

It costs 1,200 turtles to be raised in one acre of pond. The price of turtle fry is about 2 yuan each. The cost of fry is 2,400 yuan per acre. The feeding cost of each turtle is 15 yuan. The cost of one acre of pond is 18,000 yuan. There are also 1,000 yuan for water, electricity, vaccines and other expenses. After calculation, the total cost is about 21,400 yuan.

The profit is about 25 yuan per catty after deducting the cost, and the net profit is about 25,000 yuan.

The risk is that the market price is unstable, sometimes expensive and sometimes cheap. In terms of management, if there is a problem with management, it will also bring great losses. Therefore, investment has risks, and breeding needs to be tight.

8. What kind of fish can be raised with cow dung?

Generally speaking, it is rare to feed fish directly with feces. Fishery farmers use feces mainly to enrich the water, making the water rich in nutrients so that microorganisms and plankton can breed in large quantities. Many kinds of fish grow up by eating microorganisms and plankton in the water. Folk proverb: Fertile water breeds good fish.

Filter-feeding fish: The most common types of filter-feeding fish include silver carp (bighead carp, silver carp, jumping silver carp, bighead carp) and bighead carp (flower carp, bighead carp) among the four major carps.

Silver carp is a filter-feeding fish that mainly feeds on phytoplankton, while bighead carp is a filter-feeding fish that mainly feeds on zooplankton.

9. What should you feed soft-shelled turtles?

Normally, the most suitable foods for feeding soft-shelled turtles are fresh small fish fry, fresh shrimp, live shrimp and live mealworms, but it must be noted that they must be fed in water, otherwise the soft-shelled turtle will not be able to swallow them.

Turtle (Amyda Sincnsis) is the common name for turtle, also called round fish, water fish, is an oviparous amphibian reptile, and is a general term for soft-shelled aquatic turtles in the family Testudinidae. There are more than 20 species in total. The main species in China are Chinese soft-shelled turtle, mountain soft-shelled turtle, spotted soft-shelled turtle, and cantoryolis, among which Chinese soft-shelled turtle is the most common.

Turtle is not only a delicious dish on the table, a high-quality material for a fine banquet, but can also be used as a Chinese medicine. It has many nourishing and medicinal effects, such as clearing away heat and nourishing yin, calming the liver and extinguishing wind, softening and dispersing nodules, and treating cirrhosis, hepatosplenomegaly, and epilepsy in children.

10. What should we raise soft-shelled turtles with for a long time?

Animal feed can be mealworms, earthworms, small fish and shrimps, loaches, snails and animal offal, etc., but the bait must be fresh and clean. At the same time, you can feed bran, corn flour, vegetable leaves, fruits and other plant feeds to supplement nutrition. You can feed some purslane or dandelion to the turtle seedlings to enhance their disease resistance.
