The money turtle, also known as the third-line shell turtle, is a rare and precious animal that combines medicinal, edible, and ornamental properties. It is an upscale tonic, and the market price is as high as 8,000 yuan/kg. Due to the long growth cycle of the money turtles and the increase of artificial fishing, the natural resources are increasingly depleted. At the same time, the market has great demand for them, and there is a good economic prospect for the development of artificial breeding.
1 Selection of venues The selection of turtle farms should be based on the principles of adapting to turtle living habits and production needs. It requires convenient transportation, quiet environment in turtle ponds, adequate water supply, good water quality, convenient irrigation and drainage, and good soil and water conservation performance so as to fully Use thermal resources to extend the growth period of the turtle and shorten the breeding cycle.
2 The construction of the turtle pond is based on the principle of theft prevention. The inner wall is generally 50cm high to prevent the pools from fleeing each other. The size of the pond surface depends on the amount of culture. The three sides of the water surface are preferably steep slopes, so that the turtle cannot get up and down. The other side For the gentle slope, the slope ratio is 1:3, and the water level is set at 3cm on the water level. The dike on the water surface of 40cm or more is to be packed with 40cm of mud to facilitate the digging of eggs. Around the entire turtle pond, a variety of trees and flowers should be used to simulate a natural ecological environment as much as possible to facilitate reproduction.
3 Breeding and hatching The breeding mode of the money turtle is oviparous. A mature female has 3 to 9 eggs a year. When breeding, the proportion of males and females is 4:1, allowing them to freely mate. Money turtles usually spawn only once a year, and a few large, well-fed tortoises can produce 2 times, with an interval of 15 to 45 days. Female turtles usually go to spawning in the sandy soil at night to lay eggs and collect them in the morning on the second day.
Incubation can be performed in an incubator with a height of about 40 cm. The bottom of the box is covered with 20 cm of fine sand (humidity can be determined by hand in a group). Then lay the eggs in a dense row, bury them in 3cm sand, cover with a wet towel, sprinkle water twice a day, keep the humidity between 75% and 80%, control the temperature at 27 to 28°C, and hatch hatchlings after 60 to 70 days. .
4 Feeding management
4.1 Feeding and management of juvenile and juvenile turtles Young hatchlings that are hatched are relatively delicate and should not be directly pooled. They can be allowed to crawl freely on fine sand. After the convergence of the umbilical cord, the body is changed from curled to straight, with 9%. The salt water is disinfected, and then it is placed in indoor pots and pots for raising. The water temperature is maintained at 25-30°C. The first 1 to 2 days of juvenile tortoises have not been absorbed by the yolk and do not require external nutrition. After 2 days, the egg yolk and blisters were fed and fed several times a day. After 2 weeks, the mixture of fish, shrimp, snail meat and animal viscera was gradually fed with a small amount of rice and wheat flour. Change the water 2 times a day to keep the basin clean. After the individual grows up and its activity capacity is normal, it can be transferred to the hatchling pool or baby turtle pool for continued feeding.
4.2 Feeding and management of adult turtles Money turtles have a wide range of food habits. They mainly feed on animal feed. They also feed on plant seeds and fruits. Feeds include small fish, shrimp, insects, cockroaches, and animal organs. The ratio is 70% for animals, 30% for plants, plus appropriate amounts of vitamins, calcium, trace elements, stomachic drugs, etc.
Feeding feed should adhere to timing, positioning, qualitative and quantitative. The feeding amount accounts for 7% to 10% of the body weight of the turtle, and is appropriately increased or decreased depending on the feeding condition. The feeding time should be carried out every morning at 8 to 9 o'clock and 16 to 17 o'clock in the afternoon.
Every 2 to 3 days, some old water should be drained and fresh water added to adjust the water quality. In addition, the whole pond is splashed and disinfected with regular medicines every week to improve the water quality, sterilize and prevent diseases.
In the winter, hot spring water, surplus hot water in the factory, boiler warm water can be used for breeding, and turtles can avoid hibernation, continue to grow, shorten the growth cycle, and increase economic efficiency.
