Detailed Explanation of the Key Technical Points for Cleaning and Disinfecting Soft-shelled Turtle Ponds

Livestock Farming 0 views
After 8 to 10 months of greenhouse culture of soft-shelled turtles, the indoor turtle ponds have accumulated various pathogenic organisms as well as organic residues such as leftover bait and feces, so cleaning and disinfecting the turtle ponds is extremely important. The sand in the ponds is best replaced; ponds where it cannot be replaced, or ponds without sand, should also be repeatedly rinsed and disinfected. About 10 days before use, release water to a depth of about 10 cm, and broadcast quicklime, strong chlorine powder, or chlorine dioxide over the entire pond to kill pathogens. For old greenhouses that have been used for many years of culture, it is best to also carry out spatial disinfection to prevent pathogens from spreading through the air. Specifically, solid formaldehyde (4 to 5 grams per cubic meter) can be used, placed

Specifically, solid formaldehyde (4 to 5 grams per cubic meter) can be used, placed in an iron bucket set on a coal briquette stove and heated slowly, so that the formaldehyde gas produced after heating fills the entire greenhouse space, thereby achieving the effect of sterilization and disinfection.
