Breeding and feeding of Ganoderma lucidum turtles

Ganoderma lucidum turtles, also known as 12-rowed turtles, are small, with a maximum of only 200 Mel 250 grams. It is a national second-class protected animal and a specialty of our country.

Ganoderma lucidum turtle is similar to Ganoderma lucidum grass, so it is called Ganoderma lucidum turtle. The beak of Ganoderma lucidum tortoise is crooked. The eyes are large and protruding, with light yellow longitudinal lines from the end of the kiss to the side of the neck.

Therefore, the value of Ganoderma lucidum turtles is very high, and it is deeply welcomed and loved by people. However, at present, the number of Ganoderma lucidum turtles is still very small, which is far from enough to meet the needs of consumers. Raising Ganoderma lucidum turtles will be a good way for farmers and workers to shake off poverty and become well-off. In order to facilitate everyone's introduction and breeding, the artificial breeding techniques of Ganoderma lucidum turtles summarized by Chen Xiaobao, a farmer in Longlian Village, Yuanhua Town, Haining City, Zhejiang Province are introduced as follows:

Male and female identification of Ganoderma lucidum turtles: generally speaking, in the same age, female turtles are larger than male turtles, with a small tail and a flat or convex belly, while male turtles have a long and thick tail and a concave belly. It is difficult to identify young turtles that have just come out of their shells. The breeding mode of Ganoderma lucidum turtles is egg laying, which is generally mating period from May to August, spawning period from June to September, and the peak spawning period of the Summer Solstice, which produces about 10 eggs 4 times a year. The eggs can hatch by themselves at the temperature of the natural environment. In order to improve the hatching rate, it is best to hatch artificially. The artificial hatching method is to put the eggs into an air-permeable and leaky wooden box covered with wet sand, the wet sand is 2cm thick, the egg ovulation is placed in the sand, the distance between the egg and the egg is more than 3cm, and the egg is covered with wet sand 2cm thick, covered with wood, and should be checked frequently. If the fine sand is dry, it should be drenched with water and keep the fine sand moist. Under the temperature of 24 ℃-35 ℃, the young tortoise usually breaks its shell after 50 minutes and 70 days.

Feed feeding: (1) at regular intervals, feed should be fed at the same time every day according to the season to form a habit. (2) quantitative, when the temperature is 20 ℃-25 ℃, the amount of feed each time is about 5% of the tortoise body weight. In order to increase the source of drinks and save money, all kinds of insects can also be trapped in the pond and let them hunt freely. When the temperature is high, the amount of feeding should be increased. (3) Positioning, that is, fixing one or more feed tables, once fixed, can not be changed at will. (4) quality, that is, feed should be varied, fed alternately and not rotten and deteriorated.
