The Business Of Snail Farming by metinben(m): 8:48pm On Jul 21, 2020 |
� Snail farming is known as the rearing of snail for personal or commercial uses. Snail farming is a big business that has remained untapped as little is known about this business. I started a snail farm during this lockdown and I would be sharing my experience and knowledge so far. Starting a snail farm is quite cheap,the materials required can be gotten from within you if you wish to start small, but if you intend to start big you must part with some amount. Materials 1. Water drum, bucket, or a bare soil(loamy soil) 2. Fill your water drum or bucket with enough soil 3. Perforate the drum or bucket for air to enter, but not big enough for the snail to crawl away 4.Make sure your soil is always wet, because the look a wet surronding. 5. Keep away from sun rays as this could cause dehydration, infertility or death. Feeds 1. Fruits( apple, paw-paw, water melon) 2. Green leaf ( cocoyam, paw-paw, plaintain leaf) 3. Spicy food 4. Feeds Things to avoid 1. Sun rays 2. Pest( lizard, snake, rat) 3. Dry soil Breed 1. Achatina fulica 2. Achatina achatina (recommended) 3. Archachatina marginata Profit. 1. Snail meat: household, hotel's, restaurant, bars 2. Slime: used in making beauty products (facial cream) 3. Shell( when grinded and mixed gives household washing agent, feed ) 4. As pet. NOTE: maturity of snail is between 7 - 9 months, when it lays it lays much. Be patient, bacause it must pay. Invest today Reap tommorow |

@Adek65, this is the environment where I do keep my snails, but I allow them move around, because of the green leaves within their cage.
