CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Wild turtle breeding technology

Do you know these methods of raising wild soft-shelled turtles? Come and learn about them!

Now our country's economy is becoming more and more prosperous. With the speed of development, the breeding industry in rural areas is also getting better and better. And there are many advantages to breeding in rural areas. Now breeding soft-shelled turtles is very profitable because their meat is very tender. And it also has high nutritional content. Especially some wild species, which are very valuable in the market. Therefore, there are many farmers in rural areas who breed wild soft-shelled turtles. So how should we feed this kind of wild species? What kind of technology is needed to breed good quality soft-shelled turtles? Today I will share some breeding techniques with you.

We need to decide where to build the pond based on their growth habits. Because they prefer quiet places, no noise, and require clean water. So we need to place the pond in a quiet place without noise pollution, and be able to block the sun and wind. We also need to ensure the cleanliness of the water, so we need to install drainage in the pond to facilitate the discharge of sewage and the introduction of clean water. In order to prevent them from escaping, we need to build walls around them.

We need to install a feeding table in the fish pond. It is best to place the feeding table at the edge of the pond so that they can maintain a certain angle with the water surface. This allows them to find feed better and eat more conveniently, and also allows them to avoid some light that interferes with their growth. We must also pay attention to the hygiene of the feeding table. Before feeding them, we should disinfect the feeding table with some less toxic disinfectant. And the cleaning tools must also be disinfected before they can be used. And the breeding staff is required to disinfect the feeding table regularly, and disinfect it twice a week.

After everything is ready, we need to choose the fish fry that are called farmed. We can choose in two ways, we can choose the artificially cultivated fish fry, or we can choose some wild species in the market for breeding. But try to choose the wild fry, these fry have strong resistance, they are not easy to get sick in the later stage of breeding, and can also reduce our losses.

When stocking these fry, we must pay attention to the stocking density to ensure that they can move freely in the pond. Generally, one acre can be stocked with about 125 kilograms. Please note that they must be stocked according to their weight classification before stocking. This will allow them to better adapt to life in the pond.

Be sure to feed them special feeds, and buy feeds from regular manufacturers to ensure the quality of the feeds. We also need to decide the amount of feed to feed them according to their weight. Generally, it needs to be 10% of their body weight, but when they reach maturity, we need to give them more feed, which should account for about 11% of their body weight. We also need to mix the feed for them. Generally, we can add some fresh animal feed to the feed, which accounts for about 30% of the total. Before using these materials, we need to disinfect them. And in order to ensure their freshness, we also need to match the feed when feeding. This will ensure that the materials will not deteriorate and let them eat fresh food. Because they are naturally timid creatures, we should try to reduce the sound when feeding so that they can eat with confidence. And we also need to decide the amount of feeding according to how long they eat, and the food they eat needs to be cleaned up in time.

During the whole breeding process, what we need most is to adjust the water quality in the pond. We need to add some organic matter to the water to change the fertility of the water. The water should be light green, which is the right color for their growth. It can hide them in the water and prevent them from fighting each other. We also need to change the water in the pond regularly, basically every three days. We need to extract 30% of the old water in the pond each time to ensure that the water for breeding is clean. We also need to remove the plant residues and their feces in the water regularly to ensure that the water quality does not deteriorate.

We can plant some seaweed, water hyacinth and other aquatic plants in the water around the feeding table. Let these aquatic plants grow in the water, absorb a lot of harmful gases in the water, and adjust the water quality changes. They can also hide under these plants to avoid the sun and reduce the temperature of the turtles. We also need to build a sunbathing platform in the pond with a relatively small slope so that they can receive sufficient light.

Finally, we need to frequently inspect the pond during daily management. This way we can understand how much they eat and how active they are, as well as changes in the water quality in the pond, and record all of these conditions so that we can treat them in time when they become ill. If they do become ill, we need to fish out the dead turtles for disposal.

If you want to raise wild soft-shelled turtles well, you need to create a good living environment for them, pay attention to the water quality, and put some shelter in it to provide some protection.

Raising soft-shelled turtles is actually very similar to raising fish. First of all, you have to pay attention to the water. River water is best. If not, use tap water for two or three days and then put the soft-shelled turtle in to raise it.

The water quality requirements of soft-shelled turtles are a bit high, and it cannot be too dirty. Every time you feed them, it is best to clear away the uneaten food immediately, otherwise it will easily pollute the water quality. It is best to eat in another place.

When changing the water, you cannot replace all of it, as this will make the turtle unsuitable for the new water. When changing the water, you should keep half of the old water and add half of the new water. And you cannot change the water too frequently, otherwise it will easily destroy the atmosphere that the turtle has worked so hard to create.

There needs to be a surface in the fish tank that allows the turtle to come ashore and bask in the sun. The turtle is an amphibian, so this is very important for it.

Feeding: You can feed turtles river fish, river shrimp, small pieces of meat, etc., and feed them twice a day. It is best not to feed too much, just enough to eat, otherwise the leftovers will pollute the water quality.

You can put some hiding objects to cover the turtle. The turtle is a bit timid and afraid of people. In order to create a good atmosphere for it, it is best to put some hiding objects to cover it.

Do not feed the turtle too much food to avoid water pollution due to food not being able to finish the food.
