Soft-shell turtle farming methods and technical points

Soft-shell turtle farming is a traditional farming method and is widely popular in the market. The following is a detailed introduction to the methods and technical points of turtle farming:

1. Pond environment preparation

• Water source selection: Choose good quality, clear and clean water for breeding. Stable and clean water quality is the key to the healthy growth of turtles.

• Pond site selection: Choose a pond of appropriate size and depth. There should be a certain layer of silt, which is conducive to the turtle's search for food and life.

2. Water quality management

• Oxygen supply: To maintain an adequate supply of oxygen in the water, oxygen can be fully dissolved through equipment such as aerators.

• Water temperature control: Soft-shell turtles are suitable for growing in a water temperature of 22-28 degrees Celsius, so attention needs to be paid to controlling the water temperature.

• Water quality testing: Regularly test water quality parameters, such as pH value, ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, etc., to ensure that the water quality meets the growth needs of soft-shell turtles.

3. Feed and feeding

• Feed selection: Reasonably choose suitable feed for soft-shell turtles, which can be artificial feed, aquatic animals and plants, etc. to ensure the freshness and nutritional balance of the feed.

• Feeding quantity control: Control the quantity of each feeding to avoid water pollution caused by overfeeding.

4. Disease prevention and control

• Regular inspections: Regularly check the health status of soft-shelled turtles and deal with any abnormalities in a timely manner.

• Prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases: According to seasonal changes and disease prevalence, preventive drugs should be used rationally to prevent epidemic diseases.

5. Growth management

• Clean the pond regularly: Clean the bottom mud and weeds of the pond regularly to keep the water quality clean.

• Age management: According to the growth stage of soft-shell turtles, group management should be carried out reasonably to control the density of soft-shell turtles.

6. Breeding technology

• Temperature control: According to seasonal changes, pay attention to controlling the water temperature to provide a suitable growing environment.

• Breeding density: Reasonably determine the breeding density based on the size of the breeding pond and the growth status of the soft-shell turtle.

Through reasonable breeding methods and technologies, as well as strict management measures, the survival rate and growth rate of soft-shell turtles can be effectively improved, thereby achieving better economic benefits. Please fully understand the relevant local policies, regulations and safety measures before breeding to ensure that the breeding process is safe and reliable.
