The speaker didn't mean to listen After the customer left, Li Mou planned to collect the dead and dead armour and fish bones Li thought to himself, there is a big market for Chinese herbal medicine in his hometown Turtle bone is also a top-grade Chinese herbal medicine There is no problem in the market If you can get money quickly as others say, you can also sell any fruits!

Haining turtle farmer Zhang boss said Boss Zhang's family has 6 greenhouses and more than 60000 turtle farms Zhang said that in order to make the turtle grow faster and shorten the period, the temperature in the turtle shed is generally controlled at 32 ℃ Because of the high temperature, bacteria are easy to breed, the number of dead turtles will be relatively large The mortality rate of turtle is generally 4% When the temperature is high, it will die more The main reason for this phenomenon is that the scar will fester and die after the turtle is bitten by other turtles The meat of the turtle either rots in the water or is eaten by other turtles, leaving only bones Every time when the pond is cleared, 50 or 60 Jin of turtle bones can be removed When there are many, there are hundreds of Jin " Originally, these broken bones were ignored But after being stared at by illegal traders, it has become a "wealth road" "At first, we were all thrown away as garbage Later, some people came to buy it from villages Sometimes a jin can be sold for 89 yuan, 11 yuan when it's high, and hundreds or even thousands of yuan can be made in a clear pond So many people ignored it." Boss Zhang said frankly Our province has clearly stipulated that the dead turtle bones must be treated innocuously to contain more histidine, which is an important component with special flavor and can produce histidine after decomposition Histamine is a strong straight tube dilator, which can cause the release of a series of allergic substances After death, turtle meat can decompose itself to produce ammonia If people eat dead turtle, they will cause food poisoning " The police cited food experts to point out the serious harm of the dead turtle As for the dead and dead turtle, our province has a clear stipulation: Turtle farmers must deal with the dead and dead turtle innocuously, and are absolutely not allowed to enter the market There are generally two ways of pollution-free treatment, i.e centralized burying and centralized incineration For burying, the pit shall be at least 1m deep and shall be buried in a fixed landfill; for incineration, special fixed places and professional pollution-free treatment facilities shall be provided Haining police said that it was also suspected that the greenhouse turtle farmers sold dead turtle bones to purchasers They are further investigating and collecting evidence through the identification of criminal suspects, and will be punished in accordance with the law according to the illegal facts of the farmers.
