I Love this thread, very informative, it's raining season and I happen to pick alot of snails around my area both small and bold, I wanted to consume them before , but the number I picked was becoming astonishing, so I decided to research on nairaland and I struck gold on this thread. Thanks everyone who contributed. I have no prior know-how about snail farming.....but I can't help but ask; 1.Pls how can I clean the snails off their dungs in the pen, will I be rinsing them off or what? I discovered that they mess up the pen alot with their dungs. 2.Please are snails vector of any diseases whatsoever?

I must tell you you page has been instrumental in developing our snail Farm rapidly and effectively. We are now up to 2,000 snails and trying to purchase more from the rural villages before rainy season ends we also have more than 2,000 young hatchlings thanks to your advice. Do you have a formula for snail food that will help speed Healthy Growth in both young and nearly mature snails? 3 Likes

Great thread, i must say i was impressed. Took my time to read through all 15 pages. Valuable info picked up. Venturing into a farm with pigs and snails. I actually picked up lots of useful tips and hints. At the end of the day i have decided to go with a hybrid system. Am going to build a room of about 12 by 15 feet. The sides would have about 4 set blocks high, all around. then i would use sacks to cover the sides for the next 2 feet. Then i would use a mixture of wire mesh and mosquito net to cover from that height up to the top. This would allow air and sunlight to penetrate. The very top would be covered with the mix of wire mesh and net. I would use sack bags to cover about 50% of the top at the edges to reduce the amount rainfall that enters the place. the soil would not be concrete because i plan to plant a few plantains and cocoyam. Thats y i used a patter that would allow air, moisture and sunlight to enter. the net would keep out predators and pest. then to keep out ants, here is a technique i picked up from a farm i visited years ago. Build a small trench or small gutter measuring about 10 by 5 centimeters with blocks and cement. just a small gutter running around the building. fill it with water and then pour in used engine oil. Snails attract a particular type of ants and they would come to attack your snails if that kind of ants resides in your area. But snails wont be able to cross water filled with black oil. then inside the building i would build like 3 or 4 small 9 blocks by 3 blocks and 2 blocks high compartments. i would place my 100 breeders inside 2 or 3 of these compartments. and when they hatch, i would place the hatch-lings inside another compartment and when bigger, i would introduce them into the larger free roam room. i would also place snails i buy from guys who pick from the bush, that are not yet advanced to become breeders in the free roam room. this way i am doing a mix of free roam and compartment system. keeps the breeders in compartments and keep all else in a free roam zone that tries to mimic their natural environment. but i want to house the free roam zone to properly monitor them, feed them and keep out pests I would pose pics when i begin. We building the pig pens first. I would appreciate any constructive criticism on my proposed system to help me make it better 3 Likes |

This thread is very informative.... I started my own small snail farm few months ago (June) bought some snails from the market 24 in number (but was scared if they will lay eggs because of the stress they might have been through), and picked some around my home 50 in number. Now I have 30 hatched snails of AM and 39 of AA & AF with over 25 eggs of AM and 89 eggs of AA & AF. I know with the info am getting from this thread I'll expand in no time... Thank u all..

I just completed my snail pen about a week ago. I have treated with hot water and even Formalin solution. I am however amazed that some dangerous insect have invaded. This time the red type (looks so much like the soldier ants but for the color). The are so much in number and they are coming from inside the ground. Pls what can treat them permanently. I was just about introducing the snails into the space and they are already uncomfortable in their temporary abode. |
