Strategies for grass turtle breeding skills

Recently, the weather is going to cool down again. In the season of the outbreak of tortoise white-eye disease, we recommend an efficient medicine for turtles: turtle Likang is leveraged.

Today we are going to talk about how to raise grass turtles.

Chinese grass turtles belong to low-end turtles, although the individual price is very low, general grass turtle farmers will be intensive, batch breeding, because the market demand is very large, supply exceeds demand, the price has been rising all the way. I remember that in 14 years, the price of grass turtle seedlings was 2.5 yuan, until 2017, the editor acquired 1W grass turtle seedlings some time ago, and the average price was 12.5 yuan each, in a short period of three years. The price has risen as much as five times, and the market prospect is still very huge, but the low end of grass turtles does not mean that it is easy to raise, grass turtle breeding requires certain technology.

Actually... no, no, no. Grass turtles are extremely difficult to raise.

Why is it difficult to raise grass turtles? Many farmers and players, especially the transition from traditional stone money turtles to grass turtles, when they first came into contact with grass turtles, according to our traditional way of raising turtles, a turtle box of 1 to 2 meters raised about 100 seedlings, feeding and changing water at least once at a time, and those who were diligent and quick will feed and change water twice, but when raising us, we will find that grass turtles gradually begin to rot and break their claws. With the super bad tail bite, what is the reason? Even after the onset of the disease, the bubble medicine does not necessarily improve, so even the low-end grass turtles have broken the hearts of countless farmers. It is really difficult to raise, including Xiaobian, starting from 14 years of contact with grass turtles, starting from breeding seedlings, to 17 years of full-specification breeding, going through numerous detours, and every year from 14 years on, they will challenge their own technology and enter the seedlings to carry out breeding. there is just the beginning of the whole army was wiped out, to the present zero loss (in addition to being carried away by evil rats), so now let's get to the point, how to raise turtles?

Grass turtle is a more aggressive turtle species, clear water is very easy to bite the tail, bite feet, batch breeding, due to injury infection, will cause infection, resulting in batch loss.

Grass turtle this breed, changing water is easy to cause stress reactions, such as sudden death, rotten skin, and even body rot.

As a matter of fact, it is easy to raise one or two turtles. If you raise too many turtles, you will have a lot of trouble.

Therefore, grass turtles must be raised cheaply, and the water should be dirty and fat enough.

As the saying goes, turtles are raised with water first. before each turtle enters the grass, the first thing the editor does is to raise water, that is, to find some vegetable leaves and weeds as much as possible. throw them into the pool. Let it rot and stink, and then the smell gradually disappears, and then you can put the turtle in. No matter how dirty the water is, you won't change the water. The editor's experience is to add 10 minutes of water a week, and continue to throw some weeds down when you have time. If the water is fertilized, the turtles will not rot, the water will be muddy, and the turtles can't see each other in the water. The turtles can't see each other in the water. Throw more weeds down and hide the local turtles, thus reducing the chance of biting their tails. Do not change water to put an end to stress reaction, do not worry about the water quality will have a bad impact on turtles, because since ancient times, people's view of grass turtles is smelly turtles, specially used to open sewers. After each addition of water, an appropriate amount of water can be added: Guilikang carbendazim to regulate water quality and reduce ammonia nitrogen.

How to control the density? In fact, as long as the water is diverted according to the above method, it doesn't matter how dense the density is. The breeding of grass turtle seedlings cannot be calculated by plane, but by three-dimensional calculation. The editor has visited some large breeding farms for grass turtles, a pond with a depth of 12 square meters and a depth of 1.5 meters. About 4W seedlings have been raised, but there must be a slope for turtles to rest and breathe, while the editor raises 2000 seedlings in a pond of 7 square meters. The turtle box of 1cm and 2m is farmed with 350 seedlings, no problem at all.

If you choose to raise grass turtle seedlings in a greenhouse, then there are several problems that you must pay attention to. Greenhouse farming basically does not change water and choose to add water, but the greenhouse is sealed, and the smell is very difficult to disperse. the problem that we have to solve is ammonia nitrogen exceeding the standard. nitrifying bacteria can be added regularly, and oxygen can be pumped up, and Shuangshuiling or Guilikang bactericide can solve these problems for a week.

In fact: grass turtles are also easy to raise.
