1, aquaculture water
The snail adaptability, less disease, as long as the avoidance of a large number of pesticides, fertilizers, poisoning, many rural flat river canals, streams, pits, rice paddies, ponds, and other usual bodies of water can be stocked. Keep the thickness of the substrate 10cm-15cm, the size of the area is not limited.
2, seed snail stocking
Species snail stocking is best accomplished in the pre-breeding period of the snail. The source of the seed snail: one is the field collection, the second is the market collection. Choose fresh snails that are light brown in color, with thin and intact shells and rounded bodies with blunt tops.
3, feeding management
Natural waters in the rough culture, only need to maintain the water body fertility, every once in a while to apply the right amount of stable manure, chicken manure, cow dung, pig manure or straw and other organic fertilizers to meet the snail growth needs. In the case of high-density intensive breeding, it is necessary to cast artificial bait.
4, daily management
Strictly prohibit the inflow of pesticides, fertilizers contaminated water; to prevent ducks, snakes, rats, birds and other hostile invasive; timely removal of weeds and grass roots in the water. Usually take the form of micro-flow water, keep the water level at about 30cm.
Increase the water flow in the high temperature season to control the water temperature rise and to ensure sufficient dissolved oxygen in the water body. Cold weather snails into the mud hibernation, at this time, change the water 1 time -2 times a week, and to the water body to sprinkle some chopped straw in order to facilitate the snail overwintering.
5, harvesting and transportation
Harvesting of snails, to take the big and small, batch marketing approach, selective intake of adult snails, to keep young snails and pay attention to some of the mother snails, to achieve natural replenishment, and then do not need to be put into the seedling. According to its habits, in the summer and fall high-temperature season, choose the early morning, night in the bank or the water body rotating bamboo branches, grass handle picking; winter and spring is to choose a sunny day at noon picking.
