Features: This book is compiled by experts with rich practical experience. Based on the current situation of germplasm degeneration in Chinese softshell turtle farming in China, such as small individual size, premature sexual maturity, poor disease resistance, slow growth, and low yield, the authors propose breeding, rejuvenation, and purification of old turtle breeds, as well as the exploration, promotion, and application of new turtle breeds. The authors particularly recommend the artificial breeding and cultivation techniques of the excellent turtle breeds, Huangsha Turtle and Shannui Turtle, from Guangxi. The book covers the biological characteristics, nutrition and feed, artificial breeding and feeding techniques, disease prevention and control, harvesting and transportation, and application of hybridization technology of Huangsha Turtle and Shannui Turtle. The breeding and cultivation techniques in the book are detailed, easy to understand, and highly practical. It serves as a technical guide for the development of excellent turtle breeds in China and can also be used as a reference for turtle farmers and students and teachers of universities and colleges in production practice and scientific research.
