How to raise yellow-throated turtle seedlings

Yellow-throated water turtles are widely distributed in China, and the suitable temperature for growth is about 25 degrees. Although the wild mature age is longer, its mature age can be advanced by careful management of artificial breeding, and the hatching rate of turtle eggs can reach more than 80%. And it has fewer diseases, it is relatively easy to raise turtles, easy to raise, and has great economic benefits. It has become a new breeding project in recent years. What the editor brings to you today is about the breeding method of yellow-throated water turtles.

1. Breeding ground

Turtle breeding sites should choose places with adequate water sources and hygienic water quality, the soil in the turtle pond has good water retention, can not use sandy soil, there should be a good drainage system in the turtle pond to facilitate water exchange and drainage, and should be far away from urban areas and noisy areas. The suburbs should also avoid building ponds on the main traffic lines or factory areas. it should be noted that turtles of different ages need to be kept in different ponds. However, there should be a rest area and a sports area in each pool, and some water lotus can be placed on the water surface, which can not only provide a hiding place for turtles, but also absorb harmful substances in the water and heat generated by the sun, and lower the water temperature in the pool.

2. Feed preparation

Yellow-throated water turtles are very rich in feed and come from a wide range of sources, so we can take measures according to local conditions and plant some green plants or vegetables and fruits around the turtle pond, which can not only shade the turtle pond, but also be used as feed for yellow-throated water turtles after maturity. Qualified farmers can breed Fushu snails in turtle ponds and carry out mixed culture, because snail meat is one of the turtles' favorite meats, and it can not only be used as feed, but can also be sold in the later stage, killing two birds with one stone. you can also use some offal that you don't want in slaughterhouses as feed.

3. Select turtle species

The yellow-throated water turtle has strong disease resistance and is more convenient to raise, but if it is not introduced properly, it will still cause a certain degree of loss. When selecting turtle species, it is necessary to observe whether there are scars on the body, whether there is a state of illness, whether the activity is exuberant or not, whether the reaction is rapid, mainly in order to prevent being squeezed and injured during long-distance transportation. In the release of turtle seedlings, first disinfect the turtle pond with potassium permanganate, after disinfection, wash the water once with clean water to dry, and then expose to the sun for 3 days. Then pour in clean fresh water and put in the turtle seedlings.

4. Feeding and management

When feeding turtle seedlings for the first time, mix the fresh bait with the mixed feed, not into the water. You should knead the feed into a ball and put it on the edge of the water for 5-6 times in a row. After many turtles adapt, the bait can be removed. The best dosage is that the turtle can't finish it, and it's best to eat the leftover, and dispose of the rest after eating. Small ponds should change water frequently every week, and large turtle ponds should discharge part of the water in about 3 days and then inject new water. Make regular inspections, records, and understand the activity, growth process, etc., at least three times a day, once in the morning, once in the morning, once in the evening.

The above is about the breeding methods of yellow-throated water turtles, which are the easiest to breed compared to other turtles. Because their own disease resistance is strong, but although the ability to see a doctor is strong, if you do not do a good job in daily management, there is still a certain risk of disease. For example, rotten shell disease, skin rot, etc., so we must pay attention to inspection, each inspection should carefully observe the situation of turtles, any abnormal situation should be dealt with immediately.
