Features: In China, the breeding and propagation of tortoises and terrapins have a long history. Currently, the breeding and propagation of species such as softshell turtles, Chinese softshell turtles, yellow-marginated box turtles, three-line box turtles, pond turtles, and red-eared sliders are quite common. Mr. Zhang Jingchun has written this book based on over a decade of scientific exploration and practical experience in tortoise breeding, combining theory with practice. What is particularly valuable is that during the breeding process, the author conducted over a hundred pathological dissections, accumulating extensive pathological data and photographs. This book is a comprehensive and systematic professional work that scientifically elaborates on the biological characteristics of tortoises, artificial cultivation, and the prevention and treatment of tortoise diseases. Its publication contributes to further promoting the artificial breeding of wildlife in China, as well as advancing scientific conservation, the rational utilization of resources, and the population propagation of tortoises.
