One, the preparation of the breeding pool and disinfection
Turtle breeding pool built indoors, generally rectangular cement pool, an area of about 1.0 square meters -10.0 square meters, the pool wall is 1.0m high, in order to prevent turtles from escaping. The bottom of the pool and the inside of the wall is smooth, the bottom of the pool - end of the bottom (2/3) into 15 degrees of inclination, the deep end of the depth of the water storage depth of 35.0cm or so, and the installation of the drainage door. After breeding money turtles, put some shelters in the pool irregularly to simulate the natural environment in the field, so that the money turtles grow in a quiet and comfortable state. Before stocking the turtles, thoroughly disinfect the breeding pool with a bleach water solution with a concentration of l00mg/L for 12 hours, then drain the liquid out of the pool and rinse the residual liquid in the breeding pool with clean water.
Two, young turtles stocking
Select artificial breeding and cultivated average weight of more than 30g, lively, healthy, fast response, good physical quality of the money turtle hatchlings, stocking density of 3 / ㎡ - 8 / ㎡. The same - breeding pool is required to stock basically the same specification of young turtles, and a full, the same pool breeding until the adult turtles on the market.
Three, feed selection and feeding
The feed for the turtles is divided into two categories, animal feed and plant feed, animal feed selection of lean pork, animal offal, fish, shrimp, shellfish, etc., plant feed selection of bananas (peeled) and apples and so on. The feeding of animal feed is the main, two types of feed cross use, plant feed feeding frequency is about 1/7 of the animal feed feeding frequency. from the observation of the turtle's eating situation can be seen, the turtle is the most favorite of the animal feed of lean pork and plant feed of banana. When feeding, the feed should be chopped, when the indoor temperature is below 25℃ and above 30℃, feeding once a day at 9:00 a.m., when the indoor temperature is 26℃-29℃, feeding once a day at 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. respectively. The daily feeding amount accounts for)% of the body weight of the turtles, and should be adjusted at any time according to the actual eating situation, and the amount of each feeding should be finished within l hour after feeding. After feeding 1.5 hours to remove the residual bait, wash and wipe the feed table.
Four, choose the water source and regulate the water quality
Money turtles can choose clean water from rivers, reservoirs, wells and tap water as water sources, but well water and tap water should be exposed to sunlight for more than 2 days before use in outdoor cisterns. During the breeding process, the turtle needs to rely on water changes to regulate water quality. When the temperature is suitable, change the water once a day. When the temperature is high in summer and fall, change the water 2-3 times a day, each time all the water in the breeding pool is changed, and the whole breeding pool is rinsed out by spraying water with a hose; and use the shower method to simulate the artificial rainfall, in order to improve the appetite of the turtles. When the temperature is low in winter and spring, change the water once in 2-3 days, change the amount of water for all the pool water 1/2, and pay attention to adjusting the water temperature with the original pool water.
Fifth, regulate the light and temperature
Through artificial methods, in the breeding pool above the suspended light bulb to regulate the light and temperature. During the daytime in summer and fall, 25W-40W electric bulbs are used as light sources to improve the light conditions of the indoor breeding pool, and the operation method is to turn on the light for 8 hours during the day and turn off the light at night. If the indoor temperature exceeds 32℃ or more, turn on the indoor ceiling fan to lower the indoor temperature. When the temperature is lower than 25℃ in the morning and evening in spring and fall, use 40W-60W electric bulb as heat source to add heat. In winter, when the temperature is below 15℃, use 60W-100W electric bulb as heat source, turn on the light day and night, and use plastic film to cover the heat preservation, but leave the vent. During the breeding process, the water temperature of the turtle pool changes in the range of 20 ℃ -30 ℃.
Sixth, do a good job of disease control
In order to prevent money turtles in the breeding process of disease, must do a good job of prevention. Specific practices are: every 2 weeks with l0mg / L bleach solution or 2% salt water whole pool dipping, showering turtles 5 minutes - l0 minutes, in order to prevent and control common bacterial diseases, with a thick kelp leaching solution (every l0kg of water soaked in chopped dry kelp l00g after Chuan, when that is to become) the whole pool dipping or showering turtles 1 minutes - l0 minutes, in order to prevent and control money turtles, and to prevent and control diseases. l0 minutes, in order to prevent and control the occurrence of the turtle big neck disease. Especially found that the money turtle's appetite decline, slow action, with concentrated kelp leaching solution bath turtle body 10 minutes, can improve the appetite of money turtle, disease prevention effect is very good. Feed hygromycin bait once a week, that is, in the pounded lean pork mixed with hygromycin powder, the amount of medicine according to each l00g of young turtles
plus hygromycin 1/5 tablets. Every week the money turtle in the outdoor dry sand pool (pay attention to prevent escape) sunbathing 1 time, to 9 am -10 am sunny sunbathing back better, summer and fall each sunbathing back 20 minutes -30 minutes, winter and spring each sunbathing back 30 minutes -60 minutes.
By sunbathing the back, both play a bactericidal effect, but also for the turtle body surface of the vitamin D source into vitamin D to create the conditions, enhance the turtle body's resistance to disease.
