Do farmed soft shelled turtles also have various parasites?

Yes, parasites have been detected on the turtle body.

There are 15 genera and 15 species of leeches, mites, protozoa, flukes and echinocephalus, which can parasitize in the ** and blood and internal organs of soft-shelled turtles, and are one of the serious harmful diseases in the production of soft-shelled turtles. Some parasites such as parasitism in the fallopian tubes.

Mites can cause salpingitis, shoulder and abdomen flukes can cause turtle intestinal perforation, and clonorchis and talgonas can cause cholecystitis.

Symptoms: The back, neck and limbs of the diseased turtle are attached to white cilia, the parasitic part is red, swollen and inflamed and gradually ulcerates, the appetite is poor, the swimming is slow, and the severe ones can die. Prevention and control methods:

At present, there are not many studies on the prevention and control methods of soft-shelled turtle parasitic diseases, and the following methods are generally commonly used to prevent and control turtle parasitic diseases. Put the diseased turtles into 20 mg of potassium permanganate solution.

or 8 milliliters of copper sulfate solution, once a day, for 30 minutes each time, usually after 1 week. Use 90 5 grams of crystal trichlorfon per cubic meter of water, dissolve in water and splash the whole pool, splash once every half month, 2 or 3 times in a row, and receive good results.

The white spot insect can be controlled by managing the water temperature and water quality, as well as by taking a medicinal bath. When a medicated bath is performed, the external parasites usually fall off and melt into the water. In addition, it is best to separate the internal and external parasites**.

It is important to note that many drugs can be fatal to crustaceans.

Soft-shelled turtles have parasites, and the parasites on the soft-shelled turtle body have been found to be leeches, mites, protozoa, flukes and echinocephalus, a total of 15 genera and 15 species, which can parasitize in the ** and blood and internal organs of the soft-shelled turtle.

Soft-shelled turtles live mainly in lakes, ponds, reservoirs, triangular bays, and slow-flowing rivers.

Soft-shelled turtles are ectotherms, amphibious, and breathe with their lungs, so there should be enough area of land beach around or in the center of the turtle pond for it to carry out land activities. The living habits of soft-shelled turtles can be summarized as "three joys and three fears", that is, they like to be quiet and afraid of surprise, they like the sun and are afraid of the wind, and they like to be clean and afraid of dirty. The soft-shelled turtle is sensitive to the sound of the surrounding environment, as long as there is a slight movement around, the soft-shelled turtle can quickly dive into the bottom of the silt, so the environment of the turtle farm or turtle pond must be kept quiet.

If the soft-shelled turtle is often frightened, it is very detrimental to its growth and reproduction.

1. Choose a quiet environment, no noise, convenient transportation, close to the power supply and close to the water source without pollution to build a soft-shelled turtle pond, and then put the seedlings into the breeding pond after adapting to the environment, using natural bait, adding a small amount of plant-based bait.

2. After the feed is processed and mixed and fed, although the soft-shelled turtle breathes with the lungs, it lives in the water most of the time, and the quality of the water is still very important for the growth of the soft-shelled turtle.

3. Put a small amount of water floating lotus, water hyacinth and other green plants in the water to improve water quality, change the water in the turtle pond to keep the water quality fresh, and patrol the pond twice a day in the morning and evening to check the anti-escape facilities and the enemy.

In order to achieve high efficiency, soft-shelled turtles must be raised, especially high-quality high-quality soft-shelled turtles. To raise a good soft-shelled turtle, you need to have the following basic conditions:

1) Good environmentA good ecological environment is the first basic condition for raising soft-shelled turtles, as mentioned earlier, the places where soft-shelled turtles are raised should not have any polluting industrial enterprises, and should not be close to the main traffic arteries, not to mention the places where natural disasters occur, such as typhoons and floods. In addition, there should also be a good social environment and harmonious folk customs, and so on. (2) High-quality water sourcesArtificially cultivated soft-shelled turtles live in water most of the time, so sufficient and high-quality water sources are the second necessary conditions for raising soft-shelled turtles.

The quality of water not only affects the survival and yield of farmed soft-shelled turtles, but also is one of the important factors affecting the quality. The best water source is the upper water of large reservoirs or lakes, and non-polluted groundwater can also be used, but no matter what kind of water source, it must meet the water standards for freshwater aquaculture, otherwise it cannot be used to breed soft-shelled turtles. (3) The practice of complete facilities proves that without complete facilities, it is difficult to raise soft-shelled turtles, such as the greenhouse is not insulated, not only soft-shelled turtles are prone to disease, but also waste a lot of fuel and time.

Similarly, if there is no minimum facility in the outdoor pond, the soft-shelled turtle is prone to disease. Therefore, the facilities for breeding soft-shelled turtles must meet the requirements of aquaculture. (4) High-quality feed feed does not eat long, bad does not grow, therefore, feed is also an important factor in whether to raise a good soft-shelled turtle.

The feed should not only be sufficient, but also nutritious, reasonable and safe and hygienic, otherwise it will not only be not good to raise, but also affect the quality of the soft-shelled turtle, so the quality of the feed should also meet the relevant national standards. (5) advanced technology modern breeding enterprises, without advanced technology is difficult to carry out efficient breeding. The use of advanced technology to breed soft-shelled turtles can not only reduce costs, but also achieve high quality and high yield.

For example, the use of reservoir cage culture technology can not only use the high-quality water source of the reservoir, save land resources, but also the best aquaculture products. Therefore, advanced technology is low-consumption and high-efficiency technology. (6) Excellent varieties can achieve better breeding results under the same conditions, and excellent varieties can be continuously selected and introduced.

7) Scientific management: To raise soft-shelled turtles, scientific management must be carried out, everything must be standardized, standardized, and managed with a sound system. After investigation, some units have very good facilities, but the soft-shelled turtle is not well raised, which is because of the lack of scientific management. Therefore, facilities are hardware, management is software, and soft-shelled turtles must be grasped softly and hard.

Scientific water change: juvenile soft-shelled turtles need to change the water every three days, and adult soft-shelled turtles need to change the water every four days. Feeding:

Soft-shelled turtles should be fed twice a day, and the bait for each feeding should be eaten within 1 to 1.1 5 hours. Precautions: The soft-shelled turtle fry in the same breeding pond need to be of the same size.

1. Scientific water exchange

In the process of raising soft-shelled turtles, it is necessary to change the water reasonably according to the weather conditions and the age of the soft-shelled turtles, such as juvenile soft-shelled turtles, which need to change the water every three days, and the amount of water changed each time is one-third, and the adult soft-shelled turtles are changed once every four days, and the amount of water is one-quarter each time.

2. Feed feed

Feed the soft-shelled turtle twice a day, and the bait for each feeding should be eaten within one to one to one point five hours, pay attention to the amount of feeding to the juvenile does not exceed six percent of the body weight of the soft-shelled turtle, and when feeding, the bait should be two to three centimeters away from the water surface, which can reduce the impact on the soft-shelled turtle.

3. Precautions

When raising soft-shelled turtles, the soft-shelled turtle fry put in the same breeding pond need to be of the same size, so as not to bite each other in size, and the growth difference is huge, which affects the overall growth effect, and at the same time it is necessary to reasonably divide the nutrients, which is conducive to later management and promotes the growth of soft-shelled turtles.
