Matters needing attention in soft-shelled turtle culture in summer

Soft-shelled turtle meat tender, rich in nutrition, it is not only table delicious, or a good nourishing effect of medicinal materials, there is the effect of nourishing yin and yang, deeply loved. With the strengthening of health awareness, wild soft-shelled turtle can not meet the market demand at all, so soft-shelled turtle breeding rises and fills part of the market. Summer is coming, what should we pay attention to when breeding soft-shelled turtles? Let's take a look at the pro-farming network together.

1. Strengthen water quality management

Summer high temperature season, turtle activity and feed intake began to rise sharply, and turtle amphibious animals but generally habitat in the water, so will be residual bait into the water, plus excreta, high temperature environment caused by its rapid fermentation, so that water quality deterioration. At this time, if these are not removed or changed in time, it will lead to the breeding of a large number of microorganisms and bacteria, seriously affecting the growth and health of soft-shelled turtles. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen water quality management in order to raise soft-shelled turtles in summer. It is necessary to change water in time according to the breeding density, the size of the breeding pond and the quality of the water. Disinfection treatment shall be carried out before water change.

2. Feeding

Summer is a period of rapid growth of soft-shelled turtle, then to ensure adequate feed feeding, but must ensure the freshness of feed, in the high temperature season, feed easy to ferment and deterioration moldy, especially after freezing feed, so in the choice of feed must be careful, choose a trustworthy manufacturer to buy. Feeding must be timed, quantitative, positioning, and in order to ensure balanced nutrition, remember that the feed is too single, to use a variety of feeds to feed in turn. After feeding, the feed remaining in the water must be removed in time to prevent it from deteriorating and polluting the water and affecting the health of the turtle.

3. Temperature regulation

Summer temperature is generally higher, soft-shelled turtle or belong to heat-resistant animals, it grows rapidly in the environment of 28-31 degrees, but the water temperature exceeds 35 degrees is unfavorable for its growth. In addition to maintaining 2-3 hours of light every day, to avoid violent direct sunlight, when the temperature continues to rise, water temperature exceeds 31 degrees, it is necessary to take measures to cool down. Can be set up in the breeding pond shading board, or in the water to plant some lotus shade cooling effect.

4. Disease prevention

Summer is also the season of high incidence of diseases, many farmers do not pay attention to disease prevention and control work, often causing huge economic losses. Usually, we should do a good job in the sanitation of the breeding pond, disinfect it regularly, observe it in time, find it early and treat it, isolate it in time to avoid infecting other soft-shelled turtles, determine what kind of disease it is according to the characteristics of the disease, and prescribe the right medicine.

The above is the summer turtle breeding precautions brought by the pro-agricultural network. Have you all understood the precautions for turtle breeding in summer? If you want to know more, please pay attention to the pro-agricultural network.
