Crocodile turtle breeding technology

Crocodile turtles, also known as meat turtles, weigh up to 5 to 11 kilograms. Mild temperament does not hurt people. The alligator turtle is native to the Americas. Under the conditions of artificial rearing, the average annual weight gain can reach 1,000 grams, and the meat yield is high, which is twice that of the common turtle.
The alligator turtle is a new species introduced in the past two years. Through the introduction of the past few years, the breeding of the seedlings, the breeding of adult turtles, and the breeding of turtles into turtles have broken through the artificial breeding techniques. Crocodile turtles are suitable for intensive farming, and are also suitable for family-style farmer farming. They are a good breed for farmers to get rich.
Crocodile turtles have the characteristics of fast growth and delicious meat quality. Among them, the highest percentage of meat is contained, and its meat to bone ratio is as high as 85%. It is an omnivorous animal, mainly animal food, but also eat vegetables and other miscellaneous grains, so you can also use some pellet feed in the breeding process.
The crocodiles muscle contains a lot of essential amino acids in the human body. It also contains unsaturated fatty acids, so its nutritional value is very high. Its market price is 4 to 5 times that of soft-shelled turtles, and 1 kilogram of alligator turtles can be sold in the market about three times. Four hundred yuan, the economic benefits are significant.
(I) Biological characteristics
1. Morphological characteristics Crocodile turtle looks like a crocodile in a thick look. Its head is triangular and cannot be completely retracted into the shell. The mouth is cracked up to the back of the eye, the tip of the eye is sharp, the eyes are round and full of spirits, and the adult is mostly brown (black larvae). It has three ribs. The ribs are divided into a plurality of mounds. The ridges are unitary and have radiating stripes from the top of the ribs. The back of the carapace is serrated. The plastron is light yellow with a cruciform streak in the middle. The limbs are thick and stout, and can't be fully retracted into the shell. The claws and furrows are longer, the toes have a ridge, the tail is long and pointed, and the spinous process is on.
2. Life habits are aquatic turtles, hi habitat in fresh water, often in the water in the silt and weeds, in the wild often dig winter gregarious, like static, once the alarm will be immediately run away, when found not When you escape, you will turn to attack the enemy. The survival temperature is 3~45°C, activity is frequent at 20~35°C, optimum growth is 28~31°C, activity at 15~17°C is reduced, hibernation is below 10°C, and hibernation is below 5°C.
3. Growth characteristics The alligator turtle grows much faster than the average turtle. According to experimental observations, the newly hatched hatchlings can weigh up to 250-500 grams after 5 months and 500-g turtles in the spring. Up to 2,000 grams, in the southern region of China, warming measures can be taken in the winter, and it is expected that if it continues to grow, its annual weight gain will be even greater. In southern China, it can be reared at natural temperatures. In northern China, it can be raised in greenhouses, and in winter, measures are taken to keep the water temperature at 28 to 31°C left, such as geothermal water, to increase the growth rate of snapping turtles and increase economic efficiency.
4. Breeding habits Snapping turtles can be sexually mature and spawn in the third year under artificial breeding conditions. In addition to the hibernation period, mating can be performed under moderate temperatures throughout the year. May-August is the spawning period. Female turtles lay eggs at night and they lay eggs during rainy days. Before laying eggs, female turtles go ashore to search for suitable sites for digging holes. After digging well, the eggs will be laid into them. After the eggs are laid, the soil will cover the hole and be leveled with claws. The floor will be pressed and the hole will be pressed. The whole process can last for 2 to 3 hours. Even longer, a female turtle produces several eggs per year, ranging from a few dozen to an average of about 30. The number of eggs laid is determined by the individual size of the female turtle.
5. Artificial breeding (1) turtle selection and cultivation. Alligator tortoise should choose the turtle body to be strong, disease-free and injury-free. The individual has reached the age of mature sex. The ratio of male to female is 2 to 3:1. Specific identification points should be selected according to the following requirements:
Responsive, with two eyes full of God, full and elastic muscles; no wounds on the body surface, strong limbs, able to prop their own walk; pull their hands outwards, feeling very strong, not easy to pull out, use the turtle to live The head turned back 90 degrees to the back of the carapace. The turtle opened its mouth and was biting. He found the cicadas' cry. The head and neck flex freely. When the plastron is up, he can flip over quickly; It is cultivated in the cultivation pond, and the cultivation area is 2 to 3 mu, the water depth is 1 to 1.5 meters, and there is a certain shallow water area near the bank. There is a land that accounts for 10% to 20% of the total area of ​​the pool at the pool edge, and it is topped with sand. Doing spawning grounds, piles of land piles on the ground to facilitate the spawning of alligator turtles spawning, the water surface can raise some duckweed, water hyacinth and other phytoplankton to purify the water quality and conceal the turtle. 60-70 cm high anti-escape wall is built on the ground and the top of the wall is inward. Stocking density: A group of turtles can be stocked per square meter, and can be fed with animal waste such as fish, each feeding amount is 2 hours after feeding, and turtle pond is filled with new water in a timely manner. Regular bleaching powder is used. Spill to maintain good water quality.
