1. Pond construction: Snails have strong adaptability and can be stocked in many flat rivers, creeks, pits, rice fields, ponds, artificial cement pools and other ordinary water bodies in rural areas. The size of the snail pond is usually 1.5-1.6 meters wide and 10-15 meters long. The specific size can be determined according to the terrain. A bank will be built around the pool, with a height of about 50 centimeters. Set up inlets and outlets at both ends of the pool, and install anti-escape nets to prevent snails from escaping. At the same time, planting some phytoplankton in the middle of the breeding pond will help improve the environment.

2. Most of the field snails are naturally reproduced. During breeding, they can be collected manually in rivers, paddy fields and other places, or they can be purchased in the market. Choose fresh snails with light brown color, thin shell, round body and blunt tail as seed snails. The time for snails to be stocked is generally March. When stocking, care should be taken to avoid hot and hot times. They are suitable for growing in an environment of 15 to 30°C. The stocking density is usually 100-120 fish per square meter. At the same time, about 5 summer silver carp and bighead carp fingerlings should be raised per square meter for main breeding.

3. Breeding rules: When the water temperature rises to 15°C in late spring and early summer, snails crawl out of their overwintering holes and look for food at the bottom of the water to grow. Breeding begins in April, and July to August is the peak breeding season for field snails. A female snail aged 1 to 2 years old can give birth to 20 to 30 offspring, and a female snail aged 4 years or above can give birth to 40 to 50 offspring. After birth, snails grow rapidly and mature within a year.

4. Feeding management Field snails have a wide range of food sources. In nature, field snails usually feed on young aquatic plants or plankton. Farmed snails can generally be fed with cow manure or chicken manure, which can also promote the growth and reproduction of plankton or aquatic plants in the water, ultimately indirectly providing more food sources for the growth of the snails. In addition, some usual vegetables or rotten fruits can be mashed and fed. Of course, most farmers still use wheat bran, soybean meal, and corn flour in a ratio of 6:3:1 as field snail feed. The advantage is that the high protein content of soybean flour can speed up growth.
