Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of turtle farming technology, specifically referring to a high-quality traditional Chinese medicine agent for turtle farming and its application method. Background Technology
[0002] Soft-shelled turtles, also known as turtles, are amphibious creatures. Their meat is delicious and rich in protein, minerals, vitamins A, B1, B2, niacin, carbohydrates, and fats. They are believed to have cooling and yin-nourishing properties, calm the liver and dispel wind, and soften and disperse lumps. They are not only a delicacy but also a widely used tonic. Most edible soft-shelled turtles on the market are obtained through artificial breeding, which mainly involves broodstock rearing, seedling rearing, and adult turtle farming. In the breeding of broodstock turtles, to improve the spawning and fertilization rate of turtles, Chinese invention patent application number 201710872535.1 proposes a herbal compound feed for improving the spawning and fertilization rate of turtles. The feed consists of eight raw materials: Beiyang fish meal, special yeast, α-starch, compound vitamins, additives, fresh animal feed, plant feed, and herbal liquid. The preparation method involves four steps: raw material selection, raw material pretreatment, raw material mixing, feed shaping, and storage. The proportions of the raw materials are: Beiyang fish meal, special yeast, α-starch, compound vitamins, additives, fresh animal feed, etc. The ratio of plant-based feed to traditional Chinese medicine liquid is 60-70:3-6:17-22:0.5-1.5:2.5-3.5:10-20:3-5:0.5-1. The traditional Chinese medicines are *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*, *Gnaphalium affine*, *Bupleurum chinense*, *Paeonia suffruticosa*, *Forsythia suspensa*, and *Rheum palmatum*, with a weight ratio of 50-60:50-60:100-150:100-120:90-130:100-150. This formulated feed does not use antibiotics; the use of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients as feed additives is beneficial to the metabolism of soft-shelled turtles, promoting their growth and thus improving feed utilization and egg spawning and fertilization rates. In seedling cultivation, to enhance the disease resistance of juvenile and young turtles, existing techniques regularly add vitamin C, allicin, and immunomodulatory polysaccharides to the feed to strengthen their immunity.In adult turtle farming, turtles are susceptible to bacterial diseases in July and August, such as thick neck disease, red bottom plate disease, skin rot, white spot disease, hole perforation disease, and gastroenteritis. Regular water quality adjustments and disinfection are necessary. Current techniques typically involve alternating disinfection with chlorine dioxide and bromochlorohydantoin every 20-25 days, or symptomatic treatment with antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine. For example, Chinese invention patent application number 201310479488.6 proposes a turtle farming method that specifies: if red bottom plate disease occurs, immediately spray the affected pond with strong chlorine disinfectant, then administer oral antibiotics daily. For each treatment course, feed for 6 consecutive days. If red neck disease occurs, add oxytetracycline, chloramphenicol, chlortetracycline, or sulfonamide drugs to the feed. Use 0.2 grams of medication per kilogram of turtle on the first day, halving the dosage from the second day onwards. Continue treatment for 6 consecutive days as one course of treatment. For white spot disease, adjust the pH to 7.5-8.0 using sodium bicarbonate. Apply a 2-5 ppm solution to the entire pond. Repeat if insufficient. Disinfect the water with 3-5 ppm thiamphenicol. 24 hours later, apply 1-2 ppm iodine-bromine-hydantoin. Adjust the pH to 8.0 and then supplement with iodine-bromine-hydantoin. For other cases... Chinese invention patent application number 202011258166.5 discloses a traditional Chinese medicine liquid for treating skin rot in turtles and its preparation method. The liquid is prepared from the following materials in the indicated weight ratios: 3-6 parts Bletilla striata powder, 8-12 parts glycerin, 6-8 parts snake oil, 3-5 parts Artemisia argyi, 1-2 parts menthol, 4-7 parts Dictamnus dasycarpus root bark, 2-4 parts rhubarb powder, 5-7 parts Forsythia suspensa powder, 3-5 parts borneol, 2-4 parts Panax notoginseng, 4-5 parts Sophora flavescens, and 800 parts water. This traditional Chinese medicine liquid can effectively treat skin rot in turtles. When applied to the rotten areas, the liquid does not dissolve after the turtle is placed in water. The medicine detaches from the rotten skin of the turtle in water, ensuring the effectiveness of the medicine. For example, Chinese invention patent application number 201510828317.9 proposes a traditional Chinese medicine preparation for treating enteritis in turtles and its preparation method. It is prepared from the following materials in the indicated weight ratios: 15-28 parts of hops, 4-7 parts of calamus, 5-8 parts of purslane, 3-5 parts of houttuynia cordata, and 500 parts of water. The hops, calamus, purslane, and houttuynia cordata are mixed evenly, water is added to the mixture, it is boiled, then simmered for 15 minutes, and allowed to cool to room temperature. This method is easy to process, has good therapeutic effects, and has no toxic side effects after use.
[0003] Clearly, in existing technologies, whether antibiotics or traditional Chinese medicine formulas are used, they are applied after the turtles have shown symptoms. Turtles are quite resilient, and mild symptoms are not easily detected. By the time they are discovered, the condition is usually quite serious, so they cannot prevent problems before they occur. Moreover, antibiotics leave residues in the turtles' bodies, which can affect human health if consumed. While traditional Chinese medicine formulas do not have this drawback, their treatment methods are singular and their effects are limited. They are solely aimed at treating the disease and do not significantly improve the quality of the turtles.
[0004] Therefore, this application is submitted. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention proposes a high-quality traditional Chinese medicine agent for turtle farming and its application method.
[0006] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows:
[0007] A high-quality traditional Chinese herbal medicine for turtle farming, comprising: a combination of broodstock turtle rearing agents, seedling rearing agents, and adult turtle farming agents;
[0008] The broodstock turtle breeding agent is prepared from the following ingredients in parts by weight: Bupleurum chinense 80-120, Paeonia suffruticosa 80-120, Forsythia suspensa 80-120, Morus alba 80-120, Acanthopanax senticosus 40-60, and Sophora flavescens 40-60. After mixing Bupleurum chinense, Paeonia suffruticosa, Forsythia suspensa, Morus alba, Acanthopanax senticosus, and Sophora flavescens in proportion, add them to water in 2-5 times their total weight, boil for 15-20 minutes, filter and collect the juice.
[0009] The seedling cultivation agent is prepared from the following ingredients in parts by weight: 180-220 parts of Aristolochia debilis, 80-120 parts of Achyranthes bidentata, 80-120 parts of Polygonum multiflorum, 40-60 parts of Aristolochia pubescens, and 40-60 parts of Pennywort. Aristolochia debilis, Achyranthes bidentata, Polygonum multiflorum, Aristolochia pubescens, and Pennywort are mixed in proportion and then added to 2-5 times their total weight in water. The mixture is boiled for 15-20 minutes, filtered, and the liquid is collected.
[0010] The medicines for adult turtle farming include: antiparasitic agents, antimumps agents, and antienteritis agents. The antiparasitic agent is made by boiling neem leaves in 15-20 times their weight of water for 15-20 minutes. The antimumps agent is prepared from the following ingredients by weight: Isatis root 120-180g, honeysuckle 80-120g, Scutellaria baicalensis 35-60g, Phellodendron chinense 35-60g, Sanguisorba officinalis 35-60g, and rhubarb 35-60g. (The remaining ingredients are listed as ingredients in the original text.) Scutellaria baicalensis, Phellodendron chinense, Sanguisorba officinalis, and Rheum palmatum are mixed in proportion and then added to water in a ratio of 2-5 times their total weight. The mixture is boiled for 15-20 minutes, filtered, and the liquid is collected. The medicine for preventing and treating enteritis is prepared from the following ingredients in parts by weight: Citrus reticulata peel 90-110, Scutellaria baicalensis 90-110, Coptis chinensis 40-60, Pueraria lobata 40-60, Atractylodes macrocephala 120-180, and Portulaca oleracea 40-60. Citrus reticulata peel, Scutellaria baicalensis, Coptis chinensis, Pueraria lobata, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Portulaca oleracea are mixed in proportion and ground into powder.
[0011] The herbal ingredients involved in the above-mentioned drugs are easy to obtain, low in cost, and have low toxicity, no residue, and low resistance to drugs when used in turtle farming. The combination of Bupleurum chinense, Paeonia suffruticosa, Forsythia suspensa, Morus alba, Acanthopanax senticosus, and Lysimachia christinae in the above proportions can enhance the disease resistance of broodstock turtles, improve egg quality, and greatly increase the fertilization rate of the eggs. The combination of Aristolochia debilis, Aristolochia pubescens, Polygonum multiflorum, Aristolochia debilis, and Lysimachia christinae in the above proportions can enhance the immunity of juvenile turtles and further improve the disease resistance of juvenile turtles hatched from high-quality eggs. The use of antiparasitic drugs, antimumps drugs, and antienteritis drugs in adult turtle farming has the effect of preventing and treating parasites, mumps, and enteritis, promoting the healthy and rapid growth of adult turtles. Moreover, the combination of these three drugs can significantly reduce the incidence of shell rot, hole-hole disease, skin rot, hemorrhagic disease, red bottom plate disease, white bottom plate disease, and red neck disease. The reason for this may be that the various components of these three drugs interact and work synergistically, which can play a good inhibitory role against Gram-negative bacteria that cause the above diseases.
[0012] Preferably, the treatment also includes a medicine for treating carbuncles, ulcers, and skin rot, which is prepared from the following ingredients in parts by weight: 120-180 parts of Isatis indigotica root, 120-180 parts of Ulva cylindrica rhizome, 30-50 parts of rhubarb, 40-60 parts of Phellodendron bark, 20-40 parts of Scutellaria baicalensis rhizome, 60-100 parts of Bungarus fasciatus rhizome, and 60-100 parts of Gynostemma pentaphyllum rhizome. The Isatis indigotica root, Ulva cylindrica rhizome, rhubarb, Phellodendron bark, Scutellaria baicalensis rhizome, Bungarus fasciatus rhizome, and Gynostemma pentaphyllum rhizome are mixed in proportion and ground into powder.
[0013] In rare cases where the above-mentioned diseases occur, mix Isatis root, black lily, rhubarb, phellodendron bark, scutellaria, white flower snake, and tongue grass in a certain proportion and grind them into powder. Add the powder to the feed at a ratio of 1.5%-2% of the daily dry feed amount and feed for 5-7 consecutive days until the disease is cured.
[0014] Further preferred options include a medicine for treating hemorrhagic diseases, red skin disease, white skin disease, and red neck disease, which is prepared from the following ingredients in parts by weight: rhubarb 40-60, scutellaria baicalensis 200-300, phellodendron chinense 40-60, isatis tinctoria 40-60, licorice 40-60, and atractylodes macrocephala 40-60. The rhubarb, scutellaria baicalensis, phellodendron chinense, isatis tinctoria 40-60, licorice, and atractylodes macrocephala are mixed in proportion and ground into powder.
[0015] In rare cases where the above-mentioned diseases occur, mix rhubarb, scutellaria, phellodendron bark, indigo leaves, licorice, and atractylodes macrocephala in a certain proportion and grind them into powder. Add the powder to the feed at a ratio of 1.5%-2% of the daily dry feed amount and feed for 5-7 consecutive days until the disease is cured.
[0016] While the combination of broodstock turtle breeding agents, seedling breeding agents, and adult turtle farming agents proposed in the above technical solution cannot guarantee that such diseases will not occur, it can significantly reduce the incidence of shell rot, hole-hole disease, skin rot, hemorrhagic disease, red bottom plate disease, white bottom plate disease, and red neck disease. Moreover, once such diseases occur, the corresponding agents can cure them in about a week, which significantly shortens the recovery time compared with existing technologies.
[0017] Specifically, the broodstock turtle breeding agent is prepared from the following ingredients in parts by weight: Bupleurum chinense 100, Paeonia suffruticosa 100, Forsythia suspensa 100, Morus alba 100, Acanthopanax senticosus 50, and Alpinia officinarum 50; the seedling breeding agent is prepared from the following ingredients in parts by weight: Aucklandia lappa 200, Achyranthes bidentata 100, Polygonum multiflorum 100, Aristolochia debilis 50, and Lysimachia christinae 50; the mumps prevention agent is prepared from the following ingredients in parts by weight: Isatis indigotica 150, Lonicera japonica 100, Scutellaria baicalensis 50, Phellodendron chinense 50, Sanguisorba officinalis 50, and Rheum palmatum 50; the enteritis prevention agent is prepared from the following ingredients in parts by weight: Citrus reticulata 100, Scutellaria baicalensis 100, Coptis chinensis 50, Pueraria lobata 50, Atractylodes macrocephala 150, and Portulaca oleracea 50.
[0018] This invention also proposes a method for using a high-quality traditional Chinese medicine agent for turtle farming:
[0019] The method of using the broodstock turtle breeding agent is as follows: During the breeding of broodstock turtles, add 500g of broodstock turtle breeding agent to every 10kg of feed, feed for 5-6 consecutive days, and feed again after an interval of 15-20 days.
[0020] The method of using seedling cultivation agent is as follows: During the seedling and juvenile stages, i.e., during the rearing of juvenile and young turtles, add 500g of seedling cultivation agent to every 10kg of feed and feed for 5-7 consecutive days, then feed again after an interval of 20-25 days.
[0021] The method of using parasite control agents is as follows: During the adult stage of turtle farming in July and August, for prevention, use 40-60 grams per cubic meter of water, and sprinkle the solution and residue throughout the pond, once every other day, for a total of 2 times; for treatment, use 150-200 grams per cubic meter of water, and sprinkle the solution and residue throughout the pond, once every other day, for a total of 5-8 times.
[0022] The method of using the mumps prevention and treatment agent is as follows: During the adult stage of turtle farming in July and August, when used for prevention, add it at a ratio of 1.0%-1.5% of the daily dry feed and feed continuously for 5-7 days; when used for treatment, add it at a ratio of 1.5%-2.0% of the daily dry feed and feed continuously for 10-15 days.
[0023] The method of using the enteritis prevention and treatment agent is as follows: During the adult stage of turtle farming in July and August, for prevention, crush garlic into a paste and mix it with the enteritis prevention and treatment agent at a weight ratio of 1:(2-3) to prepare medicated feed. Add 5-8g of the medicated feed to each 1kg of feed and feed once a day for 5-7 consecutive days. For treatment, add 10-15g of the medicated feed to each 1kg of feed and feed once a day until cured.
[0024] Preferably, regardless of whether the antiparasitic agent is used for prevention or treatment, the water level in the pond should be lowered before applying the agent, and then the agent should be applied. The water level should be gradually increased to the original level over 2-4 days.
[0025] This invention can promote the rapid and healthy growth of soft-shelled turtles and significantly improve their quality, giving them medicinal and edible effects comparable to wild soft-shelled turtles. Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] All the following embodiments and comparative examples, except for the specified technical conditions, were carried out according to the turtle greenhouse breeding technology shown below. Unspecified technical details were handled using conventional techniques in the field. In each comparative group, except for the specified treatment methods, other diseases were treated using existing technologies. The specific treatment methods were as follows: Red neck disease: Add chloramphenicol to the feed, using 0.2 grams per kilogram of turtle on the first day, halving the dosage from the second day onwards, for a total of 6 days as one course of treatment; White bottom plate disease, red bottom plate disease, and hemorrhagic disease: First, adjust the pH of the breeding pond to 7.5-8.0 with sodium bicarbonate, then spray 3-5 ppm of thiamphenicol to disinfect the breeding water. 24 hours later, spray 1-2 ppm of iodobromohydantoin, then adjust the pH to 8.0 and spray iodobromohydantoin again, repeating this cycle until recovery; Enteritis: For prevention, add 3g of immune dual antibiotics and 3g of intestinal fasting agent to each kilogram of feed daily, and for treatment, add 5g of immune dual antibiotics to each kilogram of feed. 2g of Changsukang, 5g of Jinweikang, and 2g of Fulejia should be fed continuously until recovery. For mumps, preventive measures include: bleaching powder, 10 mg / L once, and regular thorough disinfection of the pond mud, walls, and tools. Treatment measures include: florfenicol, 50 mg per kg of body weight, mixed with feed and given once a day for 5 consecutive days. For skin rot, hole disease, and back rot, use sun-drying therapy. First, drain the water from the pond, then remove all the turtles. Disinfect the entire pond with about 60 kg of water per acre, expose it to the sun for one day, and then fill the pond with water. For sick turtles, first soak them in a 200 ppm potassium permanganate solution (200 g per cubic meter) for 20 minutes before putting them in the pond. Then, place them in moist river sand to sunbathe for 30 minutes, and then place them in a cool place. Treat them about 3 times a day for 2 consecutive days, and then return them to the original pond.
[0028] I. Cleaning and disinfection of turtle ponds
[0029] All aquaculture trials were conducted in aquaculture ponds of the following specifications: area 0.5-1 mu, pond depth 1.5-1.6m, water depth 1-1.2m, dike width 1-2m, dike slope ratio 1:2, escape-prevention wall height 40-60cm, pond bottom sand and silt layer thickness 40-60cm, and feeding platforms and basking platforms constructed with fine netting and wooden frames.
[0030] The sand in the turtle pond is newly replaced. Ten days before use, the pond is filled with water to a depth of about 10 cm, and 10 ppm of chlorine dioxide is sprayed throughout the pond to kill pathogens.
[0031] II. Seedling selection and rational stocking
[0032] 1. Seedling selection
[0033] The juvenile turtles are selected from healthy, uninjured, disease-free, and high-quality Chinese soft-shelled turtles, with each turtle weighing more than 3.5g and exhibiting strong vitality and rapid reaction.
[0034] 2. Disinfection of turtle hatchlings
[0035] Before releasing the turtle hatchlings, disinfect their bodies: place them in a plastic basin and soak them in a 1.5%-2.0% salt solution for 7-8 minutes, ensuring the water level covers their backs.
[0036] 3. Reasonable seedling placement
[0037] The stocking density for juvenile turtles weighing 3.5g-15g is 50-80 turtles / m²; from December to around New Year's Day, the suitable stocking density for juvenile turtles weighing 15g-50g is 25-40 turtles / m²; from New Year's Day to February of the following year, the stocking density for juvenile turtles weighing 50g-150g is 15-30 turtles / m²; from February to June, the stocking density for turtles weighing over 150g is 10-12 turtles / m².
[0038] III. Temperature Control in the Greenhouse
[0039] The breeding began on May 15, 2022, and lasted for 4 months. Throughout the breeding process, the air temperature in the greenhouse was generally controlled at 33℃-35℃, and the water temperature at 30℃-32℃.
[0040] IV. Feed and Feeding Details
[0041] According to the different stages of turtle farming, select the Haitai brand turtle feed series produced by Hebei Haitai Technology Co., Ltd., and feed according to its specified usage method.
[0042] V. Water Quality Control
[0043] 1. Control the pH value of the pool water between 7.5 and 8.0;
[0044] 2. The water transparency is 25cm-35cm, and the water color is yellowish-green or brownish-yellow;
[0045] 3. Dissolved oxygen: Continuous aeration is provided during the breeding process;
[0046] 4. Water quality management
[0047] Remove uneaten food from the feeding platform promptly to avoid polluting the water. Disinfect with quicklime water every 20 days, adjust the pH, and change the water as needed to maintain a good aquatic environment for aquaculture.
[0048] VI. Disease Control
[0049] Hatchlings should be soaked in a 3‰ saline solution and a 2‰ baking soda solution for 20 minutes before being introduced into the pond. The water should be disinfected every 15-20 days, using alternating disinfectants such as quicklime, bromine-chlorine agents, photosynthetic bacteria, and EM bacteria. During the juvenile and seedling stages, maintain a water depth of 0.3-0.4 meters and change the water every 3 days, replacing 1 / 3 of the water each time. A greenish water color is ideal. Adding a small amount of water plants such as water hyacinth or water lettuce can help improve water quality. During the adult stage, change the water every 4 days, replacing 1 / 4 of the water each time.
