Practical Methods for Raising Turtles to Increase the Fertilization Rate of Turtle Eggs
Artificial breeding of turtles has sprung up in many places in recent years, but breeders have found that although female turtles of some species lay a lot of eggs, the fertilization rate is not high, especially the fertilization rate of eggs from turtles at their first laying age is even lower. Later, turtle breeding experts discovered that in nature, during the sexual maturation process of many animals
