How to manage a fish pond after the start of winter? These tips you need to know

After renovation, the pond's water-holding capacity can be increased and the pond environment improved. Ponds in relatively good condition should also be drained, and excessively thick mud dug out so that the mud thickness is kept at around 20cm. Remove weeds around the pond and raise and reinforce the pond embankments. 2. Pond disinfection. A properly repaired pond should be disinfected with quicklime. Pond disinfection should be carried out on a sunny day. For dry disinfection, use 50-80kg of quicklime per 667 sq m

Through years of exploration and experimentation, the author has mastered the following technical points: (1) Before spring bud break, spray 3 to 5 degrees Baume lime sulfur mixture or 3 to 5% diesel emulsion to eliminate overwintering nymphs. (2) When female scale insects are carrying eggs and their body weight increases sharply, before egg laying, use a high-pressure water hose to wash the insects off the branches, then supplement with chemical protection. (3) Before chemical control during the hatching period, give the hedge a heavy pruning, which helps

Treatment Methods and Practical Tips for Fish External Injuries
The fish body surface has a layer of mucus, which serves to protect the body surface from bacterial invasion. When a fish suffers an external injury, it is prone to infection by bacteria or mold, causing secondary diseases. Therefore, when a fish suffers an external injury, it should be treated promptly to avoid infection. During treatment, you can directly apply red mercurochrome to the injured area (avoid applying it to the eyes), or soak the sick fish in a dilute solution of 1 to 2 parts per million of antibiotics (such as tetracycline, furacilin, etc.). You can also apply anti-inflammatory ointment (such as erythromycin ointment, tetracycline ointment) to the injured area.

The correct way to give a turtle an injection and practical tips
Technicians at the Longtouge Amphibian and Reptile Research Institute in Haining City, Zhejiang Province, have summarized from practice the key tips for injecting turtles: for the muscles at the base of the front and hind limbs, choose a thinner and shorter needle; the depth is 0.5 cm for small turtles, 0.8 cm for medium turtles, and 1.2-1.8 cm for large turtles. Insert the needle at a 45-degree angle to the limb, and first pull the turtle's limb out and straighten it. Do not choose the neck area for injection, to avoid injuring the fascia, nerves, and blood vessels. For diseases such as pneumonia, hepatitis, and enteritis, the drug can be injected into the abdominal cavity when necessary.

How to formulate feed for pigs during lactation? Sharing practical formulation tips
Sows during lactation need large amounts of nutrients to support milk production. At peak lactation, the sow's milking capacity exceeds the nutrients she takes in through feed and the nutrients excreted in milk are greater, so the sow's body condition declines rapidly. Formulating high-quality, high-nutrient-density feed for lactating sows is the best way to resolve this contradiction. Feed Formula 1: Lactation Feed Formula 1 in Table 4-3 avoids as much as possible the use of bulky feeds such as alfalfa and rice hull bran. In the design of lactation feed formulas, unknown nutritional factors appear less important
