Do a good job in these 5-point prevention work, soft-shelled turtle easily overwintering!

In recent years, many people have got rid of poverty and become rich by cultivating soft-shelled turtles, which has directly led to the development of the soft-shelled turtle farming industry. more and more people want to emulate the experience of others to get rich, but they do not have any experience, resulting in the death of a large number of soft-shelled turtles in winter. in fact, as long as we do a good job in these five points of prevention, the soft-shelled turtle will survive the winter easily!

I. temperature management

The temperature in winter in most parts of our country is relatively low, and the temperature suitable for the growth of soft-shelled turtle is generally 25-30 degrees, the lowest temperature can not be lower than 10 degrees, and the highest temperature can not be higher than 32 degrees, while the general temperature in winter is about 5-8 degrees. It is a great challenge to the survival of the soft-shelled turtle, so we can only use artificial methods to maintain the temperature in the farm. Such as injecting spring water, building wind walls, building greenhouses and so on.

II. Water quality management

The soft-shelled turtle has more stringent requirements on water quality in winter than at other times, as long as one of the reasons is that the temperature in winter is low, the activity of the water is relatively low, and it is very easy to produce ammonia nitrogen, which has a great impact on the water quality. Ammonia nitrogen poses a great threat to the growth of soft-shelled turtles, which will cause gastrointestinal discomfort and decay all over the body. Note that the water can not be changed frequently in winter, and it will affect the temperature of the pool. First of all, we can plant some plants in the water, they have a certain role in purifying water quality, the second is to control the pH of water quality, can be sprinkled with appropriate amount of quicklime, which is more conducive to the growth of soft-shelled turtle.

III. Lighting management

Many soft-shelled turtle farmers in winter tend to ignore the light factor, feeling that there is no light in winter, and wild soft-shelled turtles still live very well, so they think that light has no effect on the growth of soft-shelled turtles. In fact, reasonable light can improve the survival rate of soft-shelled turtle culture in winter. At this time, many people do not know, you can try it according to the method I said. Under normal circumstances, there should be at least 6-8 hours of light in a day, which can be done by replenishing light in the greenhouse.

IV. Feeding and management

Many people say that the soft-shelled turtle hibernates in winter, that is, it goes into a state of deep sleep, so it does not need to be fed. In fact, as long as it hibernates, the natural hormone does not need to be fed, but this does not mean that it does not need to be fed in winter. Normally, the soft-shelled turtle will not go into hibernation until the water temperature is about 5 degrees, and since we have adjusted the water temperature of the farm, we will not enter hibernation naturally. It still eats and fattens during this period of time, but it should be noted that the soft-shelled turtle eats less in winter than at other times, tailing as much concentrate as possible.

V. Disease prevention and control

In winter, because it is impossible to change water as frequently and thoroughly as usual, it is inevitable that some diseases and insect pests such as bacteria and parasites will appear. So after each change of water, we have to sprinkle harmless agents to the soft-shelled turtle to disinfect the water quality, and the second is to salvage the mud in the pond as much as possible, so as to reduce pests and feed reasonably to enhance the physique of the soft-shelled turtle. Finally, the disease control agents are added to the feed.

The above is the introduction of the five measures for the soft-shelled turtle to survive the winter safely. It is suggested that before breeding the soft-shelled turtle, we should systematically learn the culture technology and do a good job of management, so as to obtain good benefits.
