Yellow River soft-shelled turtle lives in the Yellow River basin, saline-alkali land in northern and central China. Yellow River soft-shelled turtle is a precious aquatic animal with high economic value, dietetic and nourishing food and high medicinal value.
Yellow River soft-shelled turtle has three obvious characteristics, namely yellow-green carapace, yellow carapace and yellow turtle oil. Therefore, the Yellow River Turtle is also called Sanhuang Turtle. In addition to these three characteristics.
It also has the following characteristics: this turtle has strong disease resistance, and China advocates healthy breeding. The so-called healthy farming is to minimize the dosage of drugs in the production process and prevent the accumulation of these drugs in the body of commercial turtles. Yellow River soft-shelled turtle is more suitable for healthy breeding.
Breeding method of yellow river soft-shelled turtle;
Generally, turtle breeding sites are selected near water sources, with fresh and pollution-free water quality, sufficient water and convenient water intake and drainage. The general water source is the surface water of rivers, lakes, reservoirs and ponds. The most ideal water source is both surface water and factory residual hot water or hot spring water with good water quality, so that the water temperature can be adjusted freely.
The loam or clay with good water retention and poor water permeability is the best subsoil, and the mixed soil of silt and fine sand with a thickness of 15-30cm is spread on the subsoil to facilitate the Yellow River soft-shelled turtle to inhabit and overwinter. But the sand should be fine, not coarse, or the skin of the Yellow River turtle will be injured and infected. Acid soil or saline-alkali soil is not suitable for building turtle ponds.
Fish ponds should be built in places with good light, quiet environment and sunny lee. In addition, it depends on whether the transportation is convenient and whether the supply of electricity, energy and feed is sufficient.
