Jintou turtle meat is delicious and delicious, and is superior to money turtles. It is an advanced tonic. The plastron can process many kinds of proprietary Chinese medicines. The golden head turtle is quaint and enjoys high value. It is a high-end export animal. The goldenhead turtle is easy to reare, has a high reproduction rate, grows fast, has a small investment, and has a good economic benefit. To this end, the characteristics of the golden head turtle and feeding techniques are introduced.
First, biological characteristics
The golden head turtle is known as the yellow-rimmed shell turtle. It is native to the south of the Yangtze River basin and has a smooth, headless scale. There is a golden yellow wide arc pattern behind the eyes. It is called the golden head turtle. What's interesting is that the plastrons are not connected to the two ends of the turtle shell. They close up and down like loose-leaf chains. When they are tilted, encounter enemy enemies, or be frightened, the head and tail limbs are all retracted into the shell without revealing a little skin. The golden-headed turtle is a semi-aquatic, hi-beat, underwater, scared to sneak into the bottom of the water, but also long-term survival from the water. The turtle has habits of gregariousness, and at least two of them burrow together, seven or eight for a long time. Every year from November to March of the following year, hibernation begins in April and activities occur during the season of variable temperature. There is little activity during the daytime during the season of warming, and the same kind does not fight each other and does not bite. When the temperature is lower than 20°C, basically no food is eaten, and 24°C starts to eat. From June to October is a sensational diet. In November, the temperature drops and the food gradually decreases until
Stop eating to hibernate. Food is usually eaten from early evening to early morning. Wide food habits, mainly insects, snails, and tender plants. Under artificial rearing conditions, animal-based drinks, such as small fish, snails, clams, quails, etc., are mainly fed with plant-based feed, which can add 250 grams per year.
The golden tortoise has the ability to kill snakes. It uses the deck that opens and closes to clamp the snake, bite and eat, so it is also called a python. The turtle is very spiritual, and even after several decades it will still crawl back home. The artificially domesticated golden headed turtle will not be removed in the courtyard. When a stranger comes, it will make a beating sound and inform the owner.
Second, the farm construction
Gold head turtles can be raised or semi-drought. Dry cultivation can be surrounded by wood in the interior, courtyard corner and balcony. It is also possible to use cement or masonry to build a low wall with a height of 50 centimeters. The wall should be painted to prevent the turtle from escaping. If the pool is raised, the pool can be built on one side or in the middle of the wall and it can be filled with more than 25 cm of water. There is a drainage hole in the pool and it is usually closed. There are a number of basins for dry cultivation and 10-20 cm thick sand for turtles to spawn. Turtle pond should be built in a place with sunny leewards, plenty of water, no pollution, and a secluded and shady place. Even if it is raised, turtles should be washed regularly with water to keep them clean. The size of the pool may depend on the size of the feeding.
Third, feeding and management
1. Feeding density: The indoor and outdoor stocking densities are the same. Normally, turtles (200 to 250 g or more), 3 to 4 groups (1 male and 2 females in each group) are stocked on the ground and water surface per square meter, and 10 to 20 young turtles. Turtle 15 to 30; hatchlings 30 to 50.
2, feed: 1 feed varieties: small fish, shrimp, shellfish, clams, cocoons, moths, insects, frogs and all animal meat and viscera-based, together with grains, fruits and vegetables and duckweed, raw and cooked can be. The large pieces should be chopped and the dirt should be washed. When the grains are fed, they must be soaked and softened beforehand. 2 Feeding amount: feeding once a day, each feeding about 7% to 10% of the turtle's weight, and increasing in summer. 3 feeding time: the temperature is low in spring and autumn, should be eaten at noon. Summer should be fed before 9 o'clock in the morning and after 7 o'clock in the afternoon. Feeding points should be fixed for a long time. 4 feed nutrition: more feed rich in protein, and digestible feed and various vitamins, feed every 10 days to add appropriate amount of auxin for livestock and poultry 1 to 2 times, in order to increase spawning and fertilization rate.
3, winter management: temperature below 13 °C into the hibernation, cover a warm corner in the turtle field or wet sand, straw, rags and old clothing, and then cover the rain and snow, keep the temperature above 0 °C. Outdoor feeding should cover plastic film to prevent freezing. Can also be transferred into the indoor cylinders, pots, barrels and other containers temporarily overwintering. However, these containers should also be covered with warmth and checked every 7 days. If it is too dry, the body of the turtle is whitish. The water temperature and the temperature of the overwintering field must not exceed 3°C above and below.
4, breeding, hatching: 1 breeding: turtle body weight of 200 to 250 grams or more have reproductive ability. In order to increase the reproduction rate, it is better to use 1 male and 1 female as a breeding group. The male body is slightly longer in shape and has a slightly lower back. The female body is slightly rounded and the back is tall and wide. The mating began in mid-April. The spawning period was from May to September. The female turtles spawned 3 to 7 eggs each year. The eggs were produced 3 to 4 times a year. The eggs were oval in shape and the maximum egg weight was 36 grams. 2 eggs. With a wooden box, several small holes should be drilled at the bottom of the box to facilitate leakage. The box is covered with 3 cm thick wet sand. The eggs are arranged in order on the sand. They are tilted at an angle of 45 degrees. The head is up, the head is down, and the eggs are About 3 cm from the egg, 3 cm wet sand on the egg, and 2nd
Layers of eggs are covered with wet sand and covered with moisturizing. Check every 2 to 3 days. If it is dry, it can be moistened with a small amount of water. At temperatures of 22°C to 38°C, shelling usually takes about 60 days. After hatching, the hatchlings will arch out their sand and climb to the top. After the umbilical cord falls off, they are placed in 5000 times potassium citrate solution for 5 minutes and then placed in a shallow basin for a half-month of incubation. To feed the cooked egg yolk or chopped quail, change the water 1 time every two days to keep the water fresh and then transfer it to dry or semi-dry cultivation.
5. Disease prevention and treatment:
Goldhead turtles are generally not affected. However, feeding is not fresh or careless in the summer, it will cause gastroenteritis, injectable chloramphenicol, body weight of 500 grams of turtle is 0.2 grams, or with fluoxantone 1/4 grain and chopped pig lung feeding. If the turtle suffers from cold in the winter and spring season, it can add cephalexin, viroid or SMZ to the feed, use 1/3 tablets per 500g of turtle, or 15000 units of small noomycin.
Small turtles should pay attention to the prevention of rats, dogs, cats and other predators, to prevent toxic food contamination. No toxic drugs should be used in the breeding ground to prevent strong acid and alkali substances from contacting the turtle body.
