The rice fields where soft-shelled turtles are cultivated should not only be suitable for the growth of rice, but also ensure that the soft-shelled turtles can grow normally. Rice fields should choose plots with sufficient clean water sources, which are not only convenient for transportation, but also far away from the main roads and with plenty of light. Then dig a bait ditch about one meter deep in the rice field and set up a bait table every 15 centimeters or so. The feeding table should have a certain inclination to ensure that it is smooth enough to ensure that the soft-shelled turtle eats normally without getting hurt. Finally, an anti-escape net should be set up around the rice field, which should be buried about 12 cm underground, and should be tied with wire at the inlet and outlet to prevent the soft-shelled turtle from escaping.

2. Transplanting seedlings and throwing soft-shelled turtles

After selecting the plot, we need to proceed according to the specific process of rice planting. Generally according to the normal time to transplant rice seedlings, it is necessary to pay attention to the appropriate expansion of planting density. The soft-shelled turtle fry can be released about half a month after transplanting. Pay attention to the temperature when putting in the soft-shelled turtle. If the temperature is about 30 degrees, the temperature should be adjusted reasonably. Soft-shelled turtle fry should try to choose the weight of about 450 grams is appropriate, this specification of soft-shelled turtle can quickly adapt to the environment, fast growth and high survival rate. Finally, when putting the soft-shelled turtle, we should pay attention to its disinfection to prevent carrying germs.

3. Input and feeding management

On the second day after the soft-shelled turtle fry is released, it is necessary to properly bait according to its actual situation. When feeding, put the bait directly on the feeding table, first put a small amount of bait to attract the soft-shelled turtle to the feeding table. Limit the feeding times to two times a day, usually when the temperature is low in the morning and evening. Then the feeding amount should be controlled according to the weight of the soft-shelled turtle. Every day after feeding, it is also necessary to observe the eating situation of the soft-shelled turtle and flexibly adjust the feeding amount. And when feeding, food oil can be properly added to the bait, which can not only increase the appetite of soft-shelled turtle, but also improve the conversion rate of feed utilization.

4. Daily management

When raising soft-shelled turtles, we should not only pay attention to the growth of soft-shelled turtles. It is also necessary to do a good job in the management of rice, control the temperature and humidity, and prevent the decline of rice quality and insufficient yield. Then we should observe the growth of soft-shelled turtle regularly every day and do a good job in disease prevention. When the turtle is found to be abnormal, it is necessary to come out in time to avoid affecting the normal growth of the soft-shelled turtle. When the soft-shelled turtle grows to a certain stage and the water temperature is lower than 15 degrees, it should be caught in time. If we need to raise the second-year-old soft-shelled turtle due to the market and other reasons, then we need to raise the water level appropriately and raise the water temperature to help the soft-shelled turtle survive the winter.

The above is a brief introduction to how to raise soft-shelled turtles in rice fields. The economy of raising soft-shelled turtles in rice fields is very good in Xiaoyi City, but it also needs people to spend more time on management.
