The hognose turtle is a precious turtle with high technical requirements for breeding. In terms of breeding equipment, you can choose to add hanging nets in cement ponds for batch breeding, or you can use non-toxic plastic boxes, aquariums, etc. for single or small feeding. Either way, there needs to be heating facilities, and the turtle pond should have a slope of about 3%, and there should be inlet and drainage outlets, and the depth of the pool should be 0It is about 8 meters and the water depth is 20-40 cm. In the production of hanging net, polyethylene mesh can be used to add branch wire to make, hanging net hanging on the dry rope through the branch hanging wire, hanging net spacing 0About 3 meters, line spacing 04-0.5 meters.
Water source and water quality are one of the key factors in the farming process. The water source must be abundant and meet the requirements of "NY5051-2001 Pollution-free Food Freshwater Aquaculture Water Quality". After the water is heated, the temperature should be kept above 26 and then fed into the turtle pond or tank. The permeability of the water should be around 10 cm, for which this can be achieved by cultivating plankton or applying photosynthetic bacteria.
When selecting free-range pig-nosed turtles, individuals with strong physique, bright eyes, no diseases and injuries all over the body, and active and good swimmers should be selected. Before stocking, the turtle body must be disinfected with disinfectant by soaking it in a "seed soaking agent" with a concentration of 200 grams of cubic meters of water for 5-8 minutes, or taking a medicated bath with 4 grams of cubic meters of water for more than 1 hour. The stocking density should be sparse, with 3 4 square meters (juveniles) and 2 square meters for adults in the pond.
In terms of feeding, the pig-nosed turtle should first be domesticated to adapt it to buoyancy pellet feed. Usually this species of turtle likes to forage underwater, but it is not easy to observe the feeding situation with heavy feed, so it is more suitable to use floating pellet feed. Methods such as "sound lure, timing, and positioning" can be used when domesticating, and it can be successful after 4-6 days. The daily feeding rate should be controlled at 18-2%, 2 times a day at around :00, the feed is dropped near the hanging gorge and in the darker parts.
Water quality control is essential to improve the survival rate of pignose turtles. The water should be made brown or yellowish brown as soon as possible, with a transparency of about 10 cm. To do this, it is necessary to pour fermented and sterilized organic fertilizer filter juice (1 kg per cubic meter of water) into the pool, and the faster and more direct method is to splash 2 grams of povidone-iodine in the whole pool of water. In addition, the dirt residue at the bottom of the pool (box) should be siphoned out every day.
**10,000 Powder Incentive Plan Pest control is also an important part of the breeding process. Because hognose turtles have turtle-like flippers and four toes, some individuals may die in highly salinity water, so they must be kept in fresh water. This species of turtle also has the characteristics of chasing and biting each other, so hanging nets, aquatic weeds or shelters should be added to the breeding water body. In addition, non-toxic green or light reddish-brown pigmented water can be splashed to reduce the transparency of the water, and microecological agents such as photosynthetic bacteria with high concentrations can be splashed at the same time. Through these measures, the disease rate of pig-nosed turtles can be effectively reduced and the breeding efficiency can be improved.
