Culture method of soft-shelled turtle (soft-shelled turtle) in rice field

Soft-shelled turtle, also known as turtle, soft-shelled turtle, water fish, etc., is not only a delicacy, but also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, now many areas are raising soft-shelled turtles in rice fields. So, what are the rice field culture methods for soft-shelled turtles? Let's get to know it together.

1. Rice field preparation

The paddy fields for breeding soft-shelled turtles should not only be suitable for the growth of rice, but also ensure the normal growth of soft-shelled turtles. Rice fields should choose plots with sufficient clean water sources, which are convenient for transportation, but also far away from traffic roads and sufficient light. Then dig a bait ditch about one meter deep in the rice field, and set up a bait platform every 15 centimeters or so, which should have a certain inclination to ensure that it is smooth enough. Ensure that the soft-shelled turtle eats normally and does not get hurt. Finally, the anti-escape net should be set up around the rice field. The anti-escape net should be buried about 12 cm underground, and the soft-shelled turtle should be tied up with wire at the inlet and outlet to prevent the soft-shelled turtle from escaping.

2. Transplanting seedlings and throwing soft-shelled turtles

After selecting the plot, we need to proceed according to the specific process of rice planting, generally according to the normal time to transplant rice seedlings. It should be noted that the planting density should be appropriately expanded, and the soft-shelled turtle seedlings can be put in about half a month after transplanting. When putting in the soft-shelled turtle, we should pay attention to the temperature. If the temperature is about 30 degrees, it is necessary to adjust the temperature reasonably. The soft-shelled turtle seedlings should choose the one with a weight of about 450 grams as far as possible. This specification of soft-shelled turtle can quickly adapt to the environment, the growth rate is fast and the survival rate is relatively high. Finally, when putting the soft-shelled turtle, we should pay attention to its disinfection to prevent carrying bacteria.

3. Input and feeding management

When the soft-shelled turtle fry is put into the next day, it is necessary to properly feed according to its actual situation, and put the bait directly on the feeding table when feeding. First, put a small amount of bait to attract the soft-shelled turtle to the feeding table, and control the feeding times at two times a day, generally when the temperature is low in the morning and evening, and then control the feeding amount according to the body weight of the soft-shelled turtle. Every day after feeding, you also need to observe the eating situation of the soft-shelled turtle and flexibly adjust the feeding amount. And when feeding, food oil can be properly added to the bait, which can not only increase the appetite of soft-shelled turtle, but also improve the conversion rate of feed utilization.

4. Daily management

When cultivating soft-shelled turtles, we should not only pay attention to the growth of soft-shelled turtles, but also do a good job in the management of rice, control temperature and humidity, and prevent the decline of rice quality and insufficient yield, and then regularly observe the growth of soft-shelled turtles every day. do a good job in disease prevention, when the turtle is found to be abnormal, come out in time to avoid affecting the normal growth of the soft-shelled turtle, when the soft-shelled turtle grows to a certain stage And when the water temperature is lower than 15 degrees, we should catch it in time. If we need to raise the two-year-old turtle due to the market and other reasons, then we need to raise the water level appropriately and raise the water temperature to help the soft-shelled turtle survive the winter.

The above is the soft-shelled turtle rice field culture methods, I hope I can help you!
