What is the turtle?
Turtle Farming is a commercial persecution that the turtles are kept, hatched and raised for sale for the domestic and food industry. It is assumed that the agricultural industry to the turtle came in the United States in the 40th of the 20th century, while breeding turtles harvested from wild populations. Today, turtle farmers in the United States supply turtles for pets and the food industry in North America and Asia. Turtles are commonly consumed in Asia and in some rural parts of North America. Some environmentalists are afraid of the human impact of meat collection on the world's wild turtle populations. Many American turtle farmers increase species such as red-east slider for sale as pets on the domestic market. Some turtle farmers even offer their customers breeding turtles. Other species, such as green turtles, can be brought up on farms for sale in the grocery market.
In the 1970s.or turtles on average less than 4 inches (10.2 cm) when it was found that some children's turtles offered for sale are Salmonella carriers. Turtle farmers now generally sterilize their turtle eggs using a method known as the Siebeling method. This method usually requires the eggs to be rinsed and then sterilized in a vacuum tank. The process does not normally damage the eggs and can be used to ensure that the hatching turtles are healthy.
On large turtles farms, breeding turtles are usually held in outdoor ponds. In general, they allow them to join and lay eggs undisturbed. Turtle farmers usually collect eggs after being laid, sterilizing them and then incubating eggs in a controlled temperature environment until they break up. Children's turtles are usually examined by a veterinarian before distribution.
American turtle farms also export turtles to the food industry, especially in China and other parts of Asia. Turtles are also often considered a viable source of food in many outsidethe United States. Sometimes it is also sought by Asian Americans in the urban environment.
It is assumed that the harvest of turtles for meat in the United States and Asia is a real threat to the world's turtle populations, because about 40 percent of the world's wild turtles face extinction. Some American states have already banned a collection of wild turtles. Some nature conservationists hope that turtle breeding can offer turtle meat that does not endanger the population of wild turtles.
turtles raised on farms are generally certified as safe for domestic and international distribution by the relevant medical authorities. Most turtles grown for food in the United States are balanced to Asian countries, especially in China. It is assumed that turtle breeding in China is growing in popularity, where the consumption of turtle meat is often much more common than elsewhere.
