Comprehensive breeding method of alligator snapping turtles

Abstract

The invention discloses a comprehensive breeding method of alligator snapping turtles. The comprehensive breeding method comprises the following steps: building a breeding pond; carrying out breedingand hatching; carrying out feeding management of juvenile turtles; and carrying out feeding management of adult turtles. According to the invention, the gender of the male and female alligator snapping turtles is effectively controlled through hatching conditions. Feeds with different formulas are fed in different stages; according to the nutritional requirements and physiological and biochemicalcharacteristics of the juvenile turtles, and started from emphasizing the improvement of immunity and growth speed of the juvenile turtles, high-quality raw materials are selected, formula structuresof the feeds for the juvenile turtles are regulated and optimized, and industrialization is achieved, so that breeding cost is reduced, occurrence of diseases is reduced, and pollution to water bodiesis reduced. After an adult turtle feed is prepared from a traditional Chinese medicine extracting solution and a feed, the turtles are fed by using the adult turtle feed, organism immunity of the alligator snapping turtles is enhanced in a breeding process, a breeding environment is improved, and stress reactions are disappeared, so that healthy growth of the alligator snapping turtles is guaranteed, and the survival rate of the alligator snapping turtles is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of aquaculture and relates to the raising of crocodile turtles, in particular to an ecological breeding method of crocodile turtles. Background technique [0002] The crocodile turtle is the oldest reptile in existence and one of the largest freshwater turtles in the world. It is known as the king of freshwater animals. Because of its large size and strong aggressiveness, it has few natural enemies except alligators. It has edible, ornamental, and medicinal value, and it grows fast, lays more eggs, has strong disease resistance, has a high meat yield, and is easy to raise. It has a huge prospect for industrial production. [0003] In the breeding process of crocodile turtles, artificial reproduction is a difficult problem. First: During the feeding process, the artificial feed usually used will cause the number of eggs laid by the alligator turtle to decrease or even not to lay eggs. Second: In freshwater waters, es...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

First: During the feeding process, the artificial feed commonly used will cause the number of eggs laid by the alligator turtle to decrease or even not lay eggs

Second: In freshwater waters, especially artificially bred turtles, due to water quality or the deterioration of the breeding environment, crocodile turtles will develop lesions, which will affect the growth rate of crocodile turtles, and even reduce the survival rate of crocodile turtles.

For these diseases of crocodile turtles, although drugs can be used to prevent and treat them, the drugs accumulate in the body of crocodile turtles, affecting their medicinal and edible value

Third: Low artificial reproduction of crocodile turtles

The existing breeding methods cannot control the sex of male and female turtles well, and the ratio of male tortoises is as high as 80%, which causes gender imbalance and affects subsequent breeding

In addition, the environmental conditions are relatively strict, and once the environmental conditions are not suitable, it will seriously affect its reproductive ability.

The current hatching and breeding technology restricts the development of crocodile turtle breeding industry
