Several common culture models of soft-shelled turtle

The soft-shelled turtle is a kind of creature that is very similar to the tortoise. Many people can't tell them apart, but they are actually very easy to distinguish. The shell of the soft-shelled turtle is scaleless, and the nutritional value of the soft-shelled turtle is very high. Moreover, the meat is also relatively fresh and tender, which is especially suitable for making soup. There are fewer and fewer wild soft-shelled turtles, but the number of people who like to eat soft-shelled turtles has not decreased. Therefore, artificial breeding is a very inevitable thing, but there are many ways of artificial breeding of soft-shelled turtles. Here are several common breeding models of soft-shelled turtles summarized by Qin Nong. Let's take a look.

1. Raising soft-shelled turtles in rice fields

Now rice field interculture technology is very popular, many aquaculture have adopted rice field interculture technology, such as crayfish, crab, etc., and a common culture mode of soft-shelled turtle is rice field interculture, but the soft-shelled turtle has a high requirement on rice field, that is, it should be close to the water source, and the water storage capacity in the field should be strong, and the water quality should be relatively clean. The soil of the paddy field should be at least 15 to 20 centimeters thick, because the soft-shelled turtle needs water for a long time, so the rice planted should be more resistant to moisture and strong resistance. Finally, to raise the soft-shelled turtle in the rice field, we should be prepared to prevent the soft-shelled turtle to escape, that is, to raise the ridge of the field, and at the same time dig a ditch outside the field for drainage, which can also prevent the soft-shelled turtle from escaping to a certain extent.

2. Culture soft-shelled turtle in pond

Pond culture of soft-shelled turtle is the most traditional way of aquaculture. Basically, aquaculture begins with pond culture. The most important point of pond culture is the structure of the pond, including the area of the pond, the shape of the pond, the depth of the pond, the construction around the pond and the bottom, as well as anti-escape measures. Generally speaking, the pond had better be rectangular and the second is that the area of the pond should not be too large, only about five mu at most, and then the water level in the pond should not exceed one meter, and it would be better to be about fifty centimeters. In order to prevent the turtle from escaping, a fence can be set up around the pond, of course, if it is built with cement, but the pond still needs to pour the right amount of mud, otherwise the soft-shelled turtle will not survive.

3. Soft-shelled turtle cultured in cage

Cage culture of soft-shelled turtle is a new culture method in recent years, in fact, it is one of the three-dimensional culture methods that we often talk about. Cage culture is mainly to pay attention to the sanitary treatment of the cage, and we should scrub the cage irregularly. The purpose of this is, first, the environment of untaxed culture, and the second is to reduce the infection of bacteria, and one of the advantages of cage culture is to facilitate management. And it is also more convenient when salvaging, as long as the cage is lifted.

4. Imitation wild cultured soft-shelled turtle

In fact, the main purpose of the culture of imitation wild soft-shelled turtle is to make the taste of the soft-shelled turtle more similar to the wild soft-shelled turtle, that is, the way of stocking, but the only difference is that the wild-cultured soft-shelled turtle is not completely stocked. It needs to do protective work in the breeding area to prevent the soft-shelled turtle from escaping and cause losses, and the rest of the time it is free. Just irregularly put a little concentrate for the soft-shelled turtle, the rest of the time rely on their own to find food in the water of small fish, shrimp and all kinds of plankton and so on, so the cost of imitating wild turtle is very low, but the sales are the best. it should be because everyone thinks that the quality of this kind of stocking is more guaranteed and closer to nature.
