1, choose the point of culture: the snail on the breeding place requirements are not high, the rural areas of many ditches, paddy fields, ponds can be breeding.

2, the collection of seed snails: must choose the color of light brown, thin shell, body round tail blunt fresh live snails as seed snails.

3, stocking and breeding: the optimal growth temperature of snails is 20-25 ° C, below 15 ° C or higher than 30 ° C will stop feeding, 10 ° C or less will be hibernating in the ground.

4, feeding: you can feed rice bran, vegetable scraps, melon leaves, animal carcasses and commercial feed.

First, how to farm snails

1, selective breeding

(1) snail resistance is very strong, disease is also very little, the reproduction rate is high, the requirements of the breeding place is not very strict, a lot of ditches in the countryside, paddy fields, ponds can be stocked.

(2) If you choose to open the pond breeding, the water surface can be stocked with some redbuds, duckweed, water hyacinth, etc. shade, the pool should also be inserted into the bamboo poles, wooden strips, etc. for snail habitat.

(3) This can be collected on the water green manure as feed, but also to raise snails to increase income.

2, seed snail collection

(1) snails are generally natural reproduction, artificial breeding can be from the paddy fields, wild rice, muddy ditches inside the pick or go to the market to buy, and then select the color of the light brown, thin shells, the body of the round tail of the live snails as seed snails.

(2) General weight 15-25 grams of snails can reach sexual maturity, at a temperature of 15?C or more can be reproduced, the female snail is large and round, the male snail is small and pointed.

3, free-range reproduction

(1) the optimal growth temperature of snails 20-25?C, if below 15?C or higher than 30?C snails will stop feeding, 10?C will be hibernating in the ground below.

(2) South of the Yangtze River can be stocked from March to November, if stocked in the natural area, each square meter can be invested in 11 species of snails (3 males and 8 females).

(3) If you dig a pool for single culture, you can put 100-500 per square meter, the depth of the water layer is 0.8-1 meters, and the bottom of the pool retains a layer of silt of 10cm or more, so that it is convenient for snails to crawl, feed, and live, etc. The male and female snails can be naturally reproduced when they are put together for stocking.

4, feeding

(1) snails are omnivores, you can feed them rice bran, vegetable scraps, melon leaves, animal carcasses and commercial feeds, it is generally aquatic plants, soil humus, vegetables and melon peels, etc. as the staple food.

(2) If in fertile paddy fields, fish and snails mixed or water surface stocking red pimpernel, green pimpernel, water hyacinth and other depressions, you can throw less or no feed.

5, breeding management

(1) snails are viviparous, the south of April-May and September-November each year is the breeding period, the female snail is generally batch spawning, each snail can be produced each time 20-30 small snails, the female snail spawning after about 14-16 months to reproduce again.

(2) Just produced a small snail weighing 0.5-1.5 grams, 6 months after raising up to 3-5 grams or more, 9 months can reach about 9 grams.

6, fishing and harvesting

(1) snails in the fishing must be selective fishing into the snail, and more to stay female snails, can be harvested in batches.

(2) summer, early fall water temperature is relatively high, midday snails are generally hiding in the mud, grass, must be in the morning, evening picking, but also drainage picking.

(3) For every 100 female snails stocked, the annual output can reach 100 kilograms.

Second, what does the snail eat

1, the snail is mainly plant-based diet, food, including duckweed, water plants, algae, rice bran, bean cake and other feeds.

2, in artificial culture must be artificial feed as the main, natural feed as a supplement, at the same time can not easily replace the feed.

3. Because snails are selective about their feeds, once the feed is replaced, it will be easy to cause it to go on a short-term hunger strike, and even cause the snails to kill each other.
