Feed for desert type land tortoises

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of feeds for land tortoises, and discloses a feed for desert type land tortoises. The feed comprises the following components in percentage by mass of 55-65% of ryegrass, 8-12% of bagasse, 5-10% of paper mulberry leaves, 5-7% of rice bran, 4-6% of soybean meal, 1-2% of oat, 0.5-1% of corn, 1-1.5% of soybean hulls, 3-6% of mulberry leaves, 3-6% of plantain herbs, 1-2% of herba lysimachiae, 1-2% of corn stigma, 0.5-0.7% of cuttlebone and 0.2-0.3% of minerals and vitamins. The feed contains an appropriate quantity of protein and massive fibers, can meet requirements for vital activity of the desert land tortoises, can promote normal development and growth, and besides, can greatly reduce the generation of uric acid. Effective components of mulberryleaves, the plantain herb, the herba lysimachiae, the corn stigma and the like which are added, are rich in fibers and promote discharge of the uric acid, so that discharged calculus in the land tortoises can be effectively facilitated, and the raw materials are green and free from pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tortoise feed, in particular to a desert tortoise feed. Background technique [0002] Desert tortoises mainly refer to tortoises that are native to deserts, semi-deserts and deserts. The living environment is harsh, dry and rainy, food is scarce, and the climate is extreme. It generally includes Sulcata tortoises, desert tortoises, Egyptian tortoises and The four-clawed tortoise is one of the oldest reptiles in existence. The most important food for tortoises is protein, fiber, and calcium. Desert tortoises have evolved a survival mode and digestive system that are significantly different from other tortoises in harsh environments. The fiber content in their food is required to be at least 20 ~30%, which is the highest dietary fiber content requirement among all tortoises. At present, artificially fed desert tortoises are prone to calculus, bulging, and even pyramid disease, and many tortoises have died...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, artificially fed desert tortoises are prone to stones, bulging, and even pyramid disease, and many tortoises have died as a result.

This is because it is generally fed with vegetables and fruits, which can easily lead to excessive nutrition, too much protein, too little fiber, and too fast growth, which will lead to tortoise hump, calculus and pyramid disease, etc., directly endangering the life span and quality of tortoises. healthy

At present, the existing commercial tortoise food is general-purpose, and there is no special feed for desert tortoises, which cannot reasonably meet the special needs of desert tortoises for protein, fiber, etc. Drugs, resulting in excessive uric acid, prone to stones, rapid growth, and prone to back augmentation
