Study On Comprehensive Utilization Of Shrimp Head And Shell In Chinese Soft-shelled Turtle Diet

In this study nutrient components of the hemogenous mix of shrimp head and shell was tested and analyzed, the results indicated that the hemogenous mix contain 78.2% of water, 8.55% of crudecoarse protein, 1.5% of calcium, 0.107% of phosphorus, 0.47% of lysine and 0.29% of Methioninum + cysteine. The tested hemogenous mix was used as main raw material to develop a functional feed called "deepfreeze fresh feed" for Chinese softshell turtle which could improve the flavor of Chinese softshell turtle and its anti-disease ability. The matching process technics was also developed to make this functional feed. Then experiment was conducted on "deepfreeze fresh feed" to evawate its immune function. Feeding experiment was also done on young, under age and fully grown Chinese softshell turtle, the results showed that the functional feed developed in this study have health care function, which could remarkably increase the cell and fluid immunity of the body, and the surviving rate of young, under age and fully grown Chinese softshell turtle, and reduce the cost the feeding and the occurrence of diseases, which finally improved the quality of Chinese softshell turtle. The study of utilizing by product of shrimp in Chinese softshell turtle daily diet solved the problem of environment pollution during shrimp meat processing, it is of great innovating importance for promoting sustainable and healthy development of Chinese softshell turtle breed industry.
