Management method of turtle culture pond

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, tortoise has gradually become one of the most common dishes, has gradually moved towards major hotels and some ordinary restaurants, so turtle breeding has gradually become common.

Management method of turtle culture pond

1. Carry out mixed culture of tortoise and fish, transfer water to fish and raise turtles with high-quality water. Filter-feeding fishes are stocked to control plankton, and bottom-feeding fishes are stocked to control organic matter. Each mu of water is equipped with 200 silver carp, 80 bighead carp and 150 crucian carp or local pond lice.

2. Add new water frequently, it is best to keep it running slightly. The tortoise is very sensitive to the water level, so pay attention to the change of water temperature not more than 5 ℃ when changing water.

3. When the temperature drops, the young turtles in the first year can be raised directly by using simple greenhouse film lighting to increase the temperature because they do not have the adaptability of hibernation. By transporting air from the outside water of the greenhouse film through the air pump, the dissolved oxygen content in the water can be increased and the floating head of fish culture can be avoided.

4. Often fish out and replenish the water hyacinth to freshen the water quality, avoid overturning the tortoise and affect the normal breathing.

5. Sprinkle quicklime or beneficial microecological agents every 10 seconds for 15 days to regulate and improve the sediment and water quality.

6. Giving adequate and nutritious special feed is the first condition to promote the stable and rapid growth of turtles, and it is also the basis and key to the success of turtle breeding.

The choice of feed, it is best to turtle full-price special compound feed, supplemented by a small amount of fresh and clean plant bait. Can be fed at the table at 6-7 am and 5-6 pm every day, and the feeding time should be determined according to the season. The feeding amount is equivalent to 2% of the turtle's body weight and 5% of the turtle weight. At ordinary times, the interference of the outside world to the tortoise should be reduced as much as possible, and the feeding law of the tortoise should be fully followed, so as to be fed reasonably, on time, in sufficient quantity and scientifically.

What food does the tortoise eat?

Turtles usually eat pork, mutton, animal offal, bread worms, earthworms, live fish, shrimp, shrimp, vegetable leaves, rice, melons and fruits, and so on. Or go to the pet market to buy small fish so that the tortoise can hunt on its own, so as to stimulate the turtle's appetite for food.

The meat food for turtles had better be raw meat, and the food for insects had better be fresh. Feed raw meat should be soft, do not add any salt substances such as edible salt, and make sure there is enough drinking water.

Precautions for raising turtles with water

In the feeding process, if there is a filter in the container, it is not necessary to change the water every day, usually change the water every half a month, and then add fresh water. However, if the turtles are raised in the tank and eat in the same tank, the leftover food is difficult to clean up or pollute the water quality, then the frequency of water change should be increased as appropriate. You can also change one pound of water to three times a day. If there is no filter, it should depend on the cleanliness of the water.

If all the water is to be replaced, it is best to sink the tap water for one or two days to achieve the effect of dechlorination. A complete change of water is usually done every 10 to 15 days in summer. If the water color is brownish green or turquoise, indicating that the water quality is too "fat", all the water should be changed in time. From June to September, because of the high temperature, the change of water should be carried out 3-4 hours after feeding. In winter, turtles can change water less or not during hibernation. Rain Water may not be clean. there will be a large number of bacteria in the process of collection and storage.

Types of feed for turtles

1. Nutritious turtle feed can supplement the trace elements needed by turtles. When feeding fresh feed, nutrients can be sprayed on the surface of the food, such as crickets, apples and other foods with calcium solvent to prevent turtles from getting sick because of lack of trace elements.

2. The special feed for turtle is divided into plant feed and carnivorous feed. Plant feed is suitable for feeding mainly herbivorous turtles. Feed for large carnivorous fish is also popular with carnivorous turtles. The feed used for goldfish is suitable for the initial stage of raising turtles because of its strong taste and sinking nature. In order to prevent some large turtles from getting fat, the feed fed to koi can also be used.

3. The main ingredient of the dried turtle feed is the dried matter of some seafood, but there is too much salt in this feed, so it can be used only as a supplementary feed rather than as the main feed. Some river shrimps can be used frequently, and many turtles like to eat this kind of feed.

4. Fresh feed. As long as it includes small goldfish, river fish, small fish, shrimp, and some insects such as crickets and grasshoppers. If some kinds of turtles feed mainly on insects, it is more difficult to raise them, so they can use insect food as their snacks.

5. Vegetables and fruits. When feeding vegetables or fruits to those aquatic turtles, be sure to cut the vegetables and fruits into a size that you can swallow. Otherwise, it will only pollute the water quality and make it impossible for turtles to eat. In addition, it should be cleaned up immediately after eating.

6. Fish fillet, meat fillet. You can eat meat and fish bought from supermarkets or fish shops, but at best they can only be used as supplementary food. When choosing fish, you should avoid those species that are high in fat. Intestines or liver can also be used in meat, but it must be cut to a size that can be swallowed, otherwise the water quality will deteriorate quickly.

In the process of turtle culture, the construction of a turtle pond is necessary, but the breeders should be based on the principle of economic suitability when building the turtle pond, but there are still certain techniques and methods for the management of the turtle pond.
