I want to engage in soft shelled turtle farming, how to breed soft shelled turtles

1. Choose a good variety. According to the public's preference and the needs of the market to choose, the current soft-shelled turtle varieties are varied, but on the whole, the soft-shelled turtle weighs 500-1000 grams, the body size is relatively high, the color is mainly yellow-green, the back has black and yellow pattern spots, the bottom of the abdomen is light yellow-white, and there are no flower spots. Although this kind of species is slower than the soft-shelled turtle with no pattern on the back (commonly known as "light plate") and a star-dotted pattern on the abdomen, its meat quality and taste are better than the latter, so the value and ** are better.

2. Take care of the water quality. The quality of water quality directly affects the breeding effect of soft-shelled turtle, and the pond water is too fertile and even smelly, which is not only unfavorable to the growth of soft-shelled turtle, but also affects the taste of its meat. Under normal circumstances, the pond is filled with clean water every week or so, accounting for about a quarter of the total amount of the original pond.

Clean the remnants of the food table regularly. In addition, about half of the pond is planted with water hyacinth. On the one hand, it can purify the water quality, and on the other hand, it can provide a hidden and quiet place for the soft-shelled turtle, and try to meet its natural living habits.

3. Do a good job of disease prevention. Ponds with convenient drainage and irrigation and good anti-escape facilities have 2-3 soft-shelled turtle fry of the same size (50-100 grams) per square meter. Usually, every 15 days or so, each cubic meter of water is splashed with 30-50 grams of quicklime in the whole pool.

Unless there are very special circumstances, it is forbidden to step on the pond and catch soft-shelled turtles. At the same time, several drying platforms are set up with bamboo rows for soft-shelled turtles to dry their backs.

Although the cycle of raising soft-shelled turtles in this way is longer, it takes about 3 years from seedlings to 500 grams of commercial soft-shelled turtles, including two hibernation periods, but its economic benefits are better. The cost of feed per kilogram and seedling fee shall not exceed 60 yuan, and the rest shall belong to income. This method is suitable for family small water aquaculture, and it is a better project for the planting industry at this stage, which is worth advocating.

Because the soft-shelled turtle is carnivorous, I feed it some small fish and shrimp, of course, it is cut with scissors and then fed to it, other small insects or something can also be, such as the bread worm bought in the flower and bird market, but you only have one, then you don't have to buy it, because the small soft-shelled turtle eats very little, and it is a waste if you buy more, and you have to feed the bread worms, in addition, such as rice worms or something, anyway, as long as it eats, you can feed.

But now it's winter, soft-shelled turtle is a cold-blooded animal, the temperature is so low, it has almost no activity, and it is impossible to eat, so you should get a small pot, put a little water, it is best to wash rice water, and then put it in a dark place to let it spend the winter, as long as you survive this winter, the next year will open spring, the weather will gradually warm, probably after mid-April, it will begin to rejuvenate again, at this time you can give it a lot of food, as long as you eat more, grow up quickly, it is interesting.

I have experience, and I am a highly talented student of Henan Agricultural University.

Breeding soft-shelled turtles need to choose a quieter, sunny, convenient drainage environment, and need to select healthy growth, similar size of small soft-shelled turtles when breeding, at the same time after breeding need to provide soft-shelled turtles with rich protein content, higher nutritional value of feed, but also need to regularly clean the soft-shelled turtle pond, to provide a relatively clean place.

1. Breeding environment

Breeding soft-shelled turtles requires the selection of suitable breeding sites. Soft-shelled turtles like to live in a quieter environment, so it is best to choose a quiet and sunny pond with convenient drainage and irrigation as a breeding place when breeding soft-shelled turtles, and the pond needs to be cleaned and disinfected before breeding, so as not to affect the growth of soft-shelled turtles due to the presence of bacteria in the pond.

2. Soft-shelled turtle selection

When breeding soft-shelled turtles, it is also necessary to choose suitable small soft-shelled turtle fry. It is best to buy soft-shelled turtle fry in a regular breeding place, and when purchasing, you need to select soft-shelled turtle fry of similar size, and at the same time need to be cultured in a cage for fifteen days before stocking, and regularly observe the growth state of soft-shelled turtle, and only after determining its growth health can it be put into the pond for breeding.

3. Reasonable feed

When breeding soft-shelled turtles, it is necessary to provide reasonable feed for them, soft-shelled turtles are suitable for eating some high-protein, high-nutrient foods, so when feeding soft-shelled turtles, they can provide animal offal or earthworms, fish and shrimp and other foods, and can also provide corn flour, bean dregs, wheat bran and other coarse grains for soft-shelled turtles.

4. Clean up regularly

When breeding soft-shelled turtles, it is also necessary to provide a clean place for them, so in the process of breeding, it is necessary to regularly clean the breeding place for soft-shelled turtles. It is best to change the water for the soft-shelled turtle every other week, and when changing the water, you need to clean up all the excrement of the soft-shelled turtle to let the soft-shelled turtle grow healthily.
