Breeding methods of turtles

Tortoise is a kind of aquatic reptile with a long history. It has many species and has a very wide distribution in all parts of China. Tortoises are not only raised as pets, some species are special meat turtles, and the market demand in our country is very large. So what do we do if we want to raise turtles on a large scale? The following small series will bring you the turtle breeding method, let's take a look!

1. Breeding place

Turtle breeding methods pond, turtle tank, reservoir and other breeding methods, each breeding method has different advantages and disadvantages, can be selected according to the actual situation. However, most farms are mainly pond farming, because this farming method is easy to manage, and its farming benefits are considerable. We should establish a good young turtle pond and adult turtle pond, control the area according to different varieties, and expand the breeding scale. Conditions can also be mixed culture, improve the comprehensive breeding benefits. Finally, care should be taken to prevent turtles from digging holes to escape, so make sure that the wall base is hard and deep enough.

2. Incubation management

If it is the first time to breed, you can choose to buy turtle seeds from outside. You can also choose to hatch turtle eggs by yourself to ensure the growth ability of turtles. Turtle eggs are similar in color and size to eggs. In the wild, they hatch for about two months before breaking. However, when hatching, we should control natural factors such as temperature and light to avoid environmental discomfort affecting hatching rate. And also pay attention to the prevention and control of natural enemies of turtles, avoid prolonging the incubation period and reducing the survival rate of incubation. If you want to increase the hatchability rate, then in the turtle hatching period can be carried out artificial incubation.

3. Feeding management

Changes in weather and climate directly affect the growth of turtles. Tortoises need to hibernate, so they don't eat in winter. They usually wake up before Qingming Festival and start eating. The highest demand for feed is around July, when turtles grow fastest. Then as the temperature drops, their appetite will also decrease. We should adjust the feed reasonably according to the growth habits and seasonal changes of turtles. Therefore, when feeding feed, we should follow the principle of fixed time and fixed amount to ensure that turtles eat regularly and meet the nutrients needed for their growth.

4. Precautions

When raising, pay attention to raising turtles separately according to their age and size. Not only can avoid the phenomenon of big bullying, but also facilitate the management in the breeding process. Turtle courage is relatively small, so we should pay attention to keep quiet when breeding, to prevent the impact of turtle growth. Then change the water regularly, ensure the water quality, do a good job in hygiene management, and prevent germs from causing diseases. Finally, it is necessary to do a good job of temperature and humidity regulation, in the open space of the breeding pool to have a certain humidity, summer and other high temperature seasons to pay attention to cooling work.

The above is a simple introduction to the turtle breeding method, the turtle is actually very good breeding, as long as we pay more attention to the management work, strengthen disease prevention, we can ensure a higher survival rate.
