Artificial breeding turtles have emerged in many places in recent years, but farmers have found that some species of female turtles lay a lot of eggs, but the fertilization rate is not high, especially the early age of turtle eggs fertilization rate is lower. After turtle experts found that many animals in nature in the process of sexual maturity, there are differences in the development time of the sexes, the general female gonads mature early, male gonads mature later. The same is true for turtles. Female turtles mature early and male turtles mature late, which is the reason why the early sexually mature female turtles do not give effective mating, resulting in unfertilized eggs or low fertilization rate.

In view of this situation, the following methods can be used to increase the fertilization rate from about 20% to more than 80%, greatly improving the benefits. The specific methods are as follows: 1. Improve the sex ratio of male and female turtles from (2~3):1 in conventional turtle breeding to 2:(1~2). Each female turtle has male turtles to mate in time, because there are basically equal sex ratios, which can provide more mating opportunities, thus improving the fertilization rate of turtle eggs. 2. Mixed breeding of male and female tortoises in the same pond can avoid losing the effective mating rate of male tortoises due to late sexual maturity. 3. Mixed breeding of male and female tortoises: First, keep male and female tortoises in separate pools for a long time. Once they enter the estrous age period of tortoises, immediately mix these tortoises in one place in time to make tortoises produce sexual excitement, which can stimulate rapid gonad development of tortoises to complete mating. After the mating period, they are cultured in separate ponds. 4, add nutrition and Chinese herbal medicine in the feed to add vitamin-rich malt, freshwater shrimp, silkworm pupa, pig and sheep placenta; can also be directly mixed in the feed vitamin A, D, E and zinc; can also be mixed in the feed pine needle powder, leek, epimedium, actinolite and other Chinese herbal medicine powder, can effectively improve the male turtle sexual function, promote successful mating, improve the female turtle fertilization rate.
