What are the benefits of Chinese herbal medicine to prevent and control snapper diseases?

Chinese herbal medicine is China's traditional disease prevention and treatment drugs, it is through the disease "diagnosis and treatment" and Chinese herbal medicine "four qi and five flavors" theory to the treatment. With the research and development of modern Chinese medicine, the application of Chinese herbs to prevent and treat diseases has become more scientific and reasonable, so that some diseases that are not obvious in western medicine can be effectively controlled by Chinese herbs, which has attracted more and more attention from the medical profession. In the turtle disease control, although the application time is not long, but has fully shown its advantages, of which, the following points are more prominent:

(1) Comprehensive efficacy is good due to the dual role of many Chinese herbs both nutritional and medicinal, can promote sugar metabolism, protein and enzyme synthesis, increase the body's antibody potency, stimulate the development of the gonads, and also has a bactericidal and antibacterial, regulate the immune function as well as non-specific antimicrobial effect. It also has bactericidal and antibacterial properties, regulates the body's immune function and has non-specific antibacterial effects. For example, in addition to the theory of Chinese medicine, astragalus can replenish qi and solidify the surface, pull out toxins and expel pus, and modern medicine has found through the determination of its effective chemical components that astragalus polysaccharide can promote the generation of antibodies in the body, which can increase the number of antibody-forming cells and the value of hemolytic assay, and increase the level of serum IgA, IgM, and IgG (including antibody cells as well as T and B lymphocytes, and NK cells). Astragalus also significantly increases total complement (CH50) and sub-complement (C3) in hepatitis patients to increase the ability of leukocytes to exude interferon and the content of immunoglobulin IgA and IgG. Therefore, Astragalus has the effect of improving the immune function of the body and strengthening the body. As another example, licorice, a leguminous plant, is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, and the cultivation yield of this traditional Chinese medicine in China is also very high, and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine summarizes the preventive and curative effects of licorice as tonifying the spleen and benefiting the qi, clearing heat and removing toxins, and so on. And modern medical research has found that licorice not only has better treatment of cirrhosis, but also has better sedative, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-allergic effects. According to the normal and abnormal activities of the organism, Chinese medicine provides a variety of traditional Chinese medicines for diagnosis and treatment and timely tonic, so as to achieve the prevention and treatment of diseases. Therefore, its efficacy is comprehensive. For example, the author used several traditional Chinese medicines, such as Xianhe Cao, Gentian Cao, Dandelion, Bei Sha Shen, Motherwort, Chuanxiong, etc., to feed the post-laying soft-shelled turtles, which improved the overwintering survival of the soft-shelled turtles and the egg-laying and fertilization rate. Therefore, Chinese medicine has the advantage of good comprehensive efficacy. (2) Application of toxic side effects of many chemicals in aquaculture disease prevention and control applications often occur toxic side effects, has attracted widespread attention. Such as malachite green (triphenylmethane), although the water mold, trichothecene mold and other pathogenic fungi have a good inhibition, but its residue (residual period is usually 300 days) can be induced by the animal body cancer, so it has been regarded as aquaculture disease prevention and treatment of banned products. Again, many antibiotics are very easy to produce resistance, such as erythromycin in the initial treatment of concentration or dose failure, and then need to be several times the amount. Chloramphenicol, for example, is prone to hemolytic disease caused by damage to blood red blood cells when used repeatedly. On the contrary, herbal medicines, most of which come from nature, are relatively less likely to have toxic side effects. Such as the same water mold disease, hairy mildew treatment, in the water quality at the same time using splash to rhubarb, five times the seeds, hay, bitter ginseng and other herbs formulated from the decoction, not only the effect is good, but also cultivate the water quality, and no residual phenomenon of the organism. Especially for internal use, under the scientific and reasonable formula, the safety of Chinese herbs is better than western medicine. (3) low cost, wide range of sources for thousands of years, China's traditional medicine is mostly taken from the folk for the people's livelihood, so the Chinese herbs are all over the country in the fields and mountains. Some herbs are not only drugs to prevent and treat diseases, but also fruits and vegetables that are usually eaten. Therefore, the wide range of sources, the number of chemical drugs is difficult to compare. Especially with the rapid development of science and technology, the work of organizing and researching Chinese traditional medicine has become more detailed and clear, and by the early 1990s, China had organized more than 5,000 kinds of natural Chinese herbs, and more than 1,000 kinds of the most commonly used ones. Taken from grass, wood, insects, fish, birds, animals, gold, stone, fruit, vegetables, grain, soil and dozens of other categories. Said its low cost, mostly because the herbs are cheaper, the conditions of the place can also be directly to the ground next to the garden, fields, mountains and forests, riverbanks and roadsides to dig and apply. Large quantities can also plant their own, such as Shanghai Jin Sheng turtle farms use the idle open space in the field area to plant garlic, carrots, cabbage, and deodorant plants and other medicinal plants, breeding 100,000 soft-shelled turtles, the annual use of less than 0.1 yuan of medicine per turtle. It saves nearly 40,000 yuan in medication cost than before the application of Chinese herbs. (4) Combined application with western medicine can improve the prevention and control effect. Therefore, as a kind of green medicine, Chinese herbal medicine is of great practical significance when applied to turtle farming for green food.
