CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to breed white jade snails in the wild

Snails are common animals with a wide distribution range. Among them, white jade snails are a very valuable species and have important breeding value. We should pay attention to the correct breeding method. So, how to breed white jade snails in the wild? Let's learn about the wild breeding technology of white jade snails. 1. Breeding conditions 1. White jade snails will freeze to death below 5℃. Therefore, areas with an average winter temperature above 5℃ can be used as the boundary for wild breeding. Wild breeding can be carried out in most areas of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in my country. 2. To find a good market, breeding snails must first implement a good market, so as to avoid economic losses caused by unsalable products. 3. There are strict measures and equipment to prevent white jade snails from escaping. 4. The ecological environment of the wild breeding site should be maintained without being damaged by humans and other organisms. 2. Breeding technology 1. Site selection: The foothills, slopes, hills, wilderness and idle land in front of and behind the house that are leeward, shaded, moist, well-drained and have weeds or shrubs and jungles can be selected as the grazing site. 2. Build anti-escape facilities ① Dig a circle of ditches around the farm. Dig a circle of ditches around the breeding site, which is generally 10 cm wide and 5 cm deep. Shallow water can be stored in the ditch if conditions permit. This kind of ring ditch can not only prevent snails from escaping, but also be used for drainage and water storage in the farm. ② Plant onions, garlic, leeks, onions, etc. around the site as isolation belts. Since the above plants can emit spicy odors, they have a certain deterrent effect on snails. ③ Use wire mesh or plastic mesh to make a fence with an inward angle to form a ┐ shape. When the snail climbs to the top, it will fall into the breeding farm because it is inconvenient to turn and the center of gravity is downward. ④ Taking advantage of the physiological reaction characteristics of snails to avoid high alkalinity, a circle of bricks about 1 meter high is built around the breeding farm. A layer of high alkalinity mortar cement about 1 cm thick is applied to the inner wall of the wall. The pH value is 11.5, which has a good anti-escape effect. 3. Timely release of young snails: When the temperature begins to stabilize at 20℃, young snails are released. In Nanjing, it is from May 10th to 20th. The young snails should be uniform in age, 2-3 months old, and weigh 5-10 grams. The stocking density is 100-200 per square meter. 4. Strengthen management: Every night and early morning, especially after rain, are the peak periods for white jade snails to go out. Timely inspection can timely retrieve the escaped snails. 5. Take measures to prevent damage from natural enemies such as rats, frogs, snakes, birds, turtles, centipedes and ants. 6. Sell products in time: Generally in early September, when the individual snails weigh more than 30-50 grams, they should be sold in time to prevent losses caused by disasters and weather changes. Through the above introduction on how to breed white jade snails in the wild, we now know the breeding technology of white jade snails in the wild. The whole body of white jade snail is a treasure with high comprehensive utilization value. The meat of white jade snail is fat and tender and rich in nutrients. Regular consumption can increase nutrition, enhance endurance, improve physical fitness, keep the skin tender and healthy, delay aging, and prolong life.
