Techniques to raise Three Trunks

Can be grown in a construction tank or earthen pond.

Pond:

Area: 100 - 600 (m ² ). Depth: 1 - 1.5m. Clearness: 30cm

Clean water, active and quiet water supply, near the house for easy protection. Around the pond, or part of the pond, a part of gardening land should be planted with valuable shade trees and fruit trees. The garden is an ecological condition that is very suitable for the life of the turtle in the pond. The pond bottom has a thick layer of 10 - 20cm mud.

Around the pond, the garden is built with a wall height of 0.7-0,8m, the top of the wall has a horizontal edge of 10cm (at the pond's edge) so that the tortoise will be removed from the cow. The distance between the pond and the best protection wall is 1 m wide and is planted with melon, gourd, fruit trees to shade.

The slope of the pond is smooth, or transitive, creating 1-2 ways for the three to easily go up and down to sunbathe.

Breeding tank:

Area: over 10 (m ² ). Deep water: 0.6 - 1m. There are overflow culverts (manhole with grille) to keep the water level fixed at the highest level, with the drain at the bottom to facilitate the pumping and slapping.

Surrounding the pool should leave a shade of shade trees, catch a bridge for the turtles to go up and down, open the platform to submerge and release the water hyacinth. In the case of raising three or three different sizes, many ponds must be made, or the pond should be kept large to separate.

Stocking:

Before stocking, clean ponds, water tanks and pond water as for fish ponds.

Breeding size is not less than 50g / fish, preferably over 100g / head. Breeding should be the same size, and stocked in 2-3 calendar months. Breeding time in April-April calendar year.

Breeding density:

Seed size 50 - 100g stocked 10 -15 / (m ² ). Size of seed 200 g drop 4-7 / / m ² ).

Release density when ponds (pools) have good circulation, abundant food and capital schools. If you buy a catcher, you need to choose healthy ones (when you turn over, you can get it right away), you are not sick. Do not select three or three sentences or be electrocuted because they are easily injured or paralyzed. Choose the triad with a complete appearance, not scratching, bleeding.

Foods:

Tank, feed trough for three turtles are stable. The pedestal is constructed of cement tiles, and in the pond, there should be 2 - 4 food tray troughs (wooden trough is built into a 5-10cm height).

Pedestal, submerged trough deep submerged 20cm. You can use mother, hang 20cm flooded. Food is mainly animals (living or dead) such as worms, snails, mussels, sour, fish, cattle fat, intestines, salads . waste products of slaughterhouses .

Food must be just the size of the tortoise's mouth, feeding well. Can actively cause food by raising the way of raising bighead, tilapia, snail . Processing synthetic food from powders, fish meal bran, soybean meal so that the total of 40 - 43% protein.

Take care not to use salty fish meal or salted fish.

The daily feed amount is about 5 - 8% by weight of the tortoise in the pond. Before feeding, clean the pedestal floor and feed. Adjust food according to weather to avoid wasting affecting water. The turtles eat well and work hard when the water temperature is between 22 - 32 ^o C, above 35 ^o C or eat less or stop eating, below 12 ^o C stop eating.

In the North, before winter, feed nutritious and high fat foods such as buffalo fat and beef fat . to accumulate fat used in the winter. Ponds of three turtles with thinness can combine fish farming, drifting, trapping, copying . breeding in ponds for food for turtles, will not harm the turtles but also increase the efficiency of the pond feed.

Management and care:

- Anti-theft, prevention of triplets, especially in the days of heavy rain, high winds, new stocking, easy flowing water, easy to bite . just a mistake is lost.

- Especially to ensure quiet, limit the discharge of water, catch causing panic.

- Clean pond water, not to rot.

- Breeding tortoises in the winter of December - 3 years later, in addition to positive feeding methods before winter and in warm sunny days, measures to prevent coldness such as high water levels and water hyacinths are required 1/2 pond area.

Harvesting and transportation:

Collecting traps: You can go to the pond to catch, catch the net, take it or block the way from the garden to the pond to catch directly. Full collection: Drain, drain the pond to catch. The harvest season is mainly in November-December and January of the solar calendar, this season has low temperature, high survival rate.

Shipping three : Close transport can contain them in sparse sacks, use bicycles and motorcycles. When traveling far, it should be stored in a wooden crate or wooden box, lined with water hyacinth, and a one-third-class baggage is best placed in a crate, a box with many boxes, using umbrellas or aircraft, trains. The process of transporting operations should be gentle, coated and built closely.
