Young snails: Start eating after 2-3 weeks. Egg yolk can be fed for 1-2 days in the initial stage, and then natural bait can be fed.
Young snails: Feed vegetables, rice bran, fish offal or tea cakes, bean cakes and other foods. They are required to be fine, fine, tender, juicy, easy to digest and rich in nutrients.
Snails: Feed fermented chicken, duck, pig and cow manure and other organic fertilizers, or fresh vegetable leaves, melons, etc. The commonly used feed formula is wheat bran, soybean meal, and corn flour according to 6:3: 1 ratio.
1. What are the main feeds for farmed field snails?
Field snails are omnivores and have different feeding requirements at different growth stages:
1. Young snails
p>The young snails will start eating after 2-3 weeks. Egg yolks can be fed for 1-2 days at the beginning, and natural bait can be fed after 1-2 days. When feeding solid bait, be sure to soak it before feeding.
2. Young snails
Young snails can be fed vegetables, rice bran, fish offal or tea cakes, bean cakes and other foods. The feed must be refined, fine and tender. , juicy, easy to digest and rich in nutrients. In artificial breeding, a certain amount of farmyard manure must be applied to cultivate water quality and breed plankton.
3. Adult snails
Adult snails can be fed with fermented organic fertilizers, such as chicken, duck, pig, and cow manure, etc., and they can also be fed with fresh vegetables. Leaves, melons, etc., farmers often use wheat bran, soybean meal, and corn flour in a ratio of 6:3:1 as snail feed. The appropriate feeding amount is 1-3% of the total weight of the snails, which can be flexibly controlled according to the feeding conditions and water quality of the snails.
2. Do snails prefer fresh water or sea water?
1. Field snails like fresh water and are mainly distributed in freshwater lakes, reservoirs, rice fields, ponds and ditches. They will retract their bodies into the snail shell and gather in the shade or dive into the soil to escape the heat. The snails will die when the water temperature exceeds 40°C. They will start to move and feed when the water temperature is around 15°C. When the water temperature is lower than 8°C, they will sneak into mud caves to hibernate. .
2. Field snails like waters with soft bottom, sufficient bait, and fresh water quality. Their main feeding organ is the radula, which is used to scrape the bottom and epiphytic food. They like to be active and feed at night, and can reproduce naturally. .
