Flame turtle breeding method

Abstract

The invention discloses a flame turtle breeding method. The method comprises the following steps of (1) feeding equipment, (2) water quality management, (3) before breeding, (4) the releasing proportion, (5) reproduction, (6) hatchling feeding management, wherein a newly hatched hatchling is disinfected with 10% of a saline solution after the umbilical cord of the hatchling is dried and detached, the hatchling is put into a water tank with the water temperature of 25-30 DEG C, and feeding is conducted after 2-3 days; (7) feeding management of a grown-up turtle, wherein feeding is conducted on the turtle at 10 am and 5 pm every day, the feeding amount accounts for 20-30% of the weight of the turtle, the grown-up turtle climbs an artificial hill in a pond for regular exercises every day, and a daylight lamp is turned on at nights; (8) disease preventing. According to the method, through treatment of the breeding pond and reasonable arrangement of reproduction, feeding and final-period management of the flame turtle, a good ecological environment is built, the rate of the flame turtle contracting diseases is effectively lowered, the survival rate of the flame turtle is improved, the feeding cycle of the flame turtle is shortened, the medicinal and edible values of edible turtles are improved at the same time, and the method has the advantages of being ecological, environmentally-friendly and recyclable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of aquaculture, in particular to a method for cultivating flame turtles. Background technique [0002] Flaming turtles are aquatic turtles, mainly distributed in the North American continent, living in lakes, rivers, ponds and other places. [0003] Omnivorous, the main food is snails, insects, crayfish, tadpoles, small fish, carrion, algae and aquatic plants. Juveniles are carnivorous and become more vegetative as they grow older. In captivity, they can eat lean pork, animal offal, small fish and shrimp, earthworms, watermelon, vegetable leaves, bananas, etc. Flame tortoises are very active, but they don't fight each other, they won't freeze to death below zero, and they are very active even at 42°C. As long as they are fed well, they can gain 30-40 grams per month. June-July every year is the breeding season of the flame turtle, and 2-22 eggs are laid each time. Egg long diameter 27.1-30.7 mm, short diameter 13...

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the fact that there are many types of tortoises, most of which are ornamental tortoises, artificially raised edible tortoises have low medicinal and edible value, and the breeding cycle is relatively long.
