Money turtle breeding

The money turtle is also called a three-line shell turtle, broken plate turtle, red belly turtle, gold head turtle, etc., is a rare species of turtle. The meat is delicious, has a high value of food and medicine, and can be exported to foreign exchange. It is a freshwater turtle with good prospects for development. The key farming techniques are now described below.
(1) Habits of life Money turtles like to inhabit water. They start diving into the water after being frightened. The artificially reared money turtles generally only landed or ate during the evening. They had mild temperament, did not bite, and seldom attacked each other; the hi group lived in - two or three cohabitation-holes, seven or eight per hole for a long time. . The money turtle is a temperature-changing animal. Every year from November to March of next year, it is a hibernation period. It lives in a hole and does not move. In April, it began to go out. The suitable growth temperature is 24 - 32 degrees Celsius. When the temperature rises to 36 degrees Celsius, it will not adapt. When it is 38 degrees Celsius, it will stay dormant. When the temperature reaches 45 degrees Celsius, it will "heat die". When the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, it will enter hibernation. There is a danger of "zombie" below 4 degrees Celsius.
The money turtle is an omnivorous animal based on animal feed. In the wild, they mainly eat terrestrial insects, small arthropods, cockroaches, fish and shrimp, snails, maggots, etc. Occasionally they also eat plant stems and leaves. Artificial feeding can feed animal feed such as quail, small fish, shrimp, snails, cockroaches, and viscera of livestock, and also eats plant feed such as rice, noodles, cereals, corn, or fruits. The daily food intake is 5% - 10% of the body mass of the turtle. The feeding activity of the money turtle is directly related to temperature: when the water temperature is lower than 20 degrees Celsius, it is basically not fed, but it is only eaten when it is 24 degrees Celsius, so the food intake will increase or decrease with the seasons, and the period from June to September is the peak season. Feeding time - usually in the evening until the 2nd morning.
The money turtle grows slowly, gaining about 100 grams each year. However, in the summer and autumn season, if the feed is sufficient and the quality is good, it can increase by 20-30 grams per month.
(2) Breeding habits Money turtles - generally 5 years old, mature, oviparous, fertilized in the body. - General mating in the autumn each year, spawning the following summer. From September to October, when the temperature is 20-25 degrees Celsius, sexually mature money turtles begin mating in the afternoon at 5-6 o'clock. In May of next year, when the water temperature rises to 25 degrees Celsius, the female turtle begins to spawn. Spawning continued until the end of July, spawning 3 - 4 times in total, spawning 2 - 4 eggs at a time. Prior to spawning, the female turtle first selects a soft, shallow shoal sand pile, or digs its roots in the roots and grass, then lays eggs in the burrows; after spawning, it covers the caves with hind limbs or tails, and then compacts them with the body. After leaving. The fertilized egg stays in the original cave, and the small turtle can be hatched within 50 - 80 days. Incubation under natural environmental conditions is not conducive to embryonic development due to large changes in environmental conditions, and the hatching rate is low. Artificial breeding should adopt temperature-control and heat-insulation and centralized hatching to increase hatching rate. The method of hatching is basically the same as the method of artificial hatching of turtles and turtles. The temperature of the hatchery is controlled at 28 - 33 degrees Celsius, the relative humidity is kept at 80% - 85%, and - 60 - 70 days can be hatched. Turtle.
(3) Feeding management methods and methods for feeding soft-shelled turtles and tortoises - money turtles should be kept in separate pools of different ages and specifications. The newly hatched hatchlings are young and have a weak activity ability. They are to be cultivated in the indoor pool. The pond should not be too big, and it should be 10-20 square meters. The bottom of the pool should be covered with 10cm thick sand. The pool should be laid around about 1/2 of the total land area to form a gradient and facilitate the hatchlings to rest ashore. The pool water is 20-30 cm deep and 20-30 young hatchlings are placed in the pool. If the number of hatchlings is small, plastic basins can also be used for cultivation. Buckets are used to make baits and rest tables. The young turtles are bred mainly to feed the delicate and fresh high-protein feed such as cooked crushed yolk and small fish and shrimp. The daily feeding amount is about 3% of the weight of the hatchlings. We must pay attention to management, and we must conduct inspections every morning and evening to observe the feeding and activities of hatchlings and remove the baits in time. To keep the pool fresh, replace the pool water every 5 days or so. After hatching, the hatchlings may be transferred to hatchlings or adult turtles.
The hatching method for hatchlings and adult turtles is the same. The rearing ponds can use earthen ponds or cement pools. The area depends on the amount of stocking. The young turtle ponds are generally suitable for 30-50 square meters. Around the pool, slope land should also be provided for turtles to rest and feed on shore. There should also be fake caves or some sand piles on the land for turtles to inhabit. Pool water more than 60 cm deep, the water stocking some water lotus, water hyacinth, etc., for the turtle hidden or summer. A T-shaped escape prevention wall should be built around the pool. Each square meter of pool can store about 10 young turtles weighing 50 grams or less, and 3 to 5 small ones weighing more than 100 grams. Feeding is mainly based on animal feedstuffs, such as oysters, fish and shrimp meat, poultry visceral waste, etc., and the effect of feeding fish and shrimp meat is good. Because of its high protein content, it is easy to digest and absorb. Daily feeding is 4% - 5% of the turtle's body weight. It should be based on the season, temperature, and turtle's eating habits. It is advisable to feed it every day to eat all the food. If there is any surplus, the next feeding can be taken into account. Reduce it so as not to waste feed and pollute the environment.
The money turtle is quiet and afraid of noise, Xi Jie is afraid of dirty, and he is happy to live in a quiet and clean water environment. Therefore, the color of the cultivation pond should be light green, and the transparency should be about 30 cm. Everyday inspections should be conducted to pay attention to the change of water quality. Change new water, maintain a good environment, and encourage money turtles to eat more food.
