Spring Turtle Disinfection First

Turtle disease is not easy to detect, timely and correct diagnosis is also difficult, and treatment is also more troublesome. Oral drugs are generally eaten only by turtles. When the disease is severe, the turtle loses its appetite. Even if there are special effects, it is difficult to achieve the therapeutic effect. Therefore, prevention work is particularly important in turtle breeding.
The success or failure of disease prevention depends on the quality of disinfection work. In spring, various pathogens begin to grow, develop and reproduce. Disinfection is not in place and turtles are very susceptible to diseases. In this connection, we consulted Jiang Zhanglin, a member of the Chinese Agronomy Association and the director of the Amphibian and Reptile Research Institute of the Leading House in Haining, Zhejiang Province. He recommended that turtle farmers conduct a thorough disinfection in the spring.
Pond and water disinfection General ponds can be used lime disinfection, per acre area with quicklime block 50 kg to 100 kg, dissolved lime slurry, pouring hot pond Quanshi. It is best to sterilize on sunny days. If it is a newly built cement pond, it should be alkali-free. Because the cement contains strong alkaline substances, it will make the turtle's skin and mouth, eye powder film erosion or cause inflammation. Use superphosphate soaking in water for 1 day to 2 days. Use 1 kg of superphosphate per cubic meter of water pool, or use 10% glacial acetic acid to wash the cement surface in the pool to neutralize the alkalinity. Then fill it with water for several days and rinse it twice with fresh water.
Turtle ponds were disinfected and replaced with fresh water. The pool water was disinfected once with bleaching powder. The dosage per cubic meter was 10 grams. After 5 days to 7 days after the disappearance of the drug, turtles could be put.
Tool disinfection Small tools such as small hand nets, washbasins, casks, enamel buckets, etc. should be soaked in a 10ppm solution of copper sulfate for 5 minutes to 10 minutes to kill various pathogens. Large appliances and nets can be exposed to the sun and must be dried before use.
Feed Disinfection Does not need to be disinfected when artificially formulated or purchased. Fresh feed such as mink (fish and fish), mink, chironomid larvae, snails, cockroaches, maggots, etc., first rinse with water, soak in 5% salt water for 5 minutes, then rinse with fresh water and feed. . The nitrofurazone (or furazolidone) solution is soaked in 20 ppm for 15 minutes to 20 minutes. Such as feeding green vegetables, first soaked in water for 30 minutes, dissolved water-soluble pesticides, chopped or processed into a dish with a meat grinder, mixed in the artificial compound feed.
