CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is it good to raise snails? (Is it good to raise snails at home?)

1. Is it okay to raise snails in a building?

Can.

1. Snails can be kept at home. They can be kept in buildings.

2. When raising snails, it is best to put them in a plastic container at home. The plastic container should be breathable. If there is no breathable container, the owner can use scissors to cut a few small holes at the bottom of the container to make it breathable.

When the container is ready, you need to find the right soil. Because snails live in the soil, especially in winter when the temperature is very low, the soil you choose should have a certain temperature, so that the snails can feel safe. The soil can be ordinary soil, but it is best to choose coconut soil instead of sand, which is not suitable for snails to survive.

2. What are the pros and cons of raising snails?

Advantages: Snail farming is profitable and has low labor intensity. It can be farmed professionally or as an amateur, and is very suitable for family farming.

Disadvantages: Snails are omnivorous animals. They mainly feed on decaying plants when they are young, but they mainly feed on green plants when they are adults. They harm the roots, stems, leaves, and fruits of various plants, especially the tender leaves of plants. After the leaves of garden plants are eaten by snails, a large number of holes are formed, which causes the photosynthesis to decrease and creates favorable conditions for the infection of pathogens. In addition, the excrement and mucus secreted during the chewing process contaminate the plants, seriously affecting the ornamental quality of garden plants.

3. What are the benefits of raising snails?

Snail is a high-protein, low-fat food. 100 grams of snail meat usually contains 18 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 7 grams of carbohydrates. In addition, snail meat also contains rich amino acids, calcium, alkaloids, phenols, lactone, coumarin, organic acids, vitamins and other substances.

As feed: The digestive enzymes in snails can promote the decomposition and conversion of feed by livestock.

As decoration: snail shells can be processed into various shell carvings.

4. Is it good to raise red snails?

It is good to breed red snails.

The breeding container must have good water permeability and air permeability. Do not irradiate with strong light when not working, it is best to keep it dark. Use a 15W red bulb for lighting at night to stimulate spawning.

The success of snail farming depends on the hatching of eggs. The indoor temperature should be controlled at 20-25℃, the air humidity at 90%-95%, and the soil surface humidity at 25%-30%. The egg collection and hatching method should be improved, and the snails should be rotated for 60 days. This method can greatly improve the efficiency of snail farming, and the shelling rate can generally reach more than 95%.

The feeding of young snails is the key to the success or failure of the rapid development of the number and production of snails. Special attention should be paid to the control of temperature and humidity. The temperature should generally be controlled between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, the moisture content of the breeding soil should be 30% to 35%, and the relative humidity of the air should be 80% to 90%. Feed them with fresh and juicy feed supplemented with calcium food.

5. Is there a future in snail farming?

1. The efficacy and function of snail

Snails are salty, cold, and slightly toxic, but they have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and are diuretic. Scientists believe that if humans eat snails, it can have a nutritional and beauty effect on our skin and hair. Moreover, it is very nutritious and low in fat. It is most suitable for people with weak gastrointestinal digestion and physical weakness.

2. Market price of snails in previous years

There are many types of snails, and most people choose to breed white jade snails. According to the information I found, the purchase price of white jade snails was 4 to 5 yuan per catty in 2014, and the highest price could reach 7 yuan. In 2016, the market price averaged 5 yuan per catty, and the highest price was 14 yuan per kilogram. Until now, the price of white jade snails has not changed much, which shows that breeding snails is safe.

III. Cost and profit of snail farming in 2019

According to some snail farmers, we can calculate its cost and profit. Taking raising 500 snails as an example, snail breeding seedlings cost 3,000 yuan, and other expenses such as farm construction, feed and drug management are assumed to cost 7,000 yuan, with a total cost of 10,000 yuan. 500 seedlings can produce 300,000 to 500,000 small snails each year. Each seedling can produce about 150 commercial snails annually, so there are 500*150=75,000 snails. Calculated at 35 grams per snail, 5,250 kilograms of snails can be produced. One ton of snails is worth 10,000 yuan. Deducting the cost, the profit is 16,250 yuan.

4. Development prospects and sales of snail farming in 2019

Snails have a very short maturity period, a high survival rate, and fast reproduction. They are very helpful to human health. However, snail farming is a niche farming. Many people see that others are very successful in this regard, so they blindly follow. Indeed, some rural farmers will work together to gradually expand their snail farming scope and make great profits. The export of snails earns foreign exchange. The international market demand for Chinese snail meat is 30,000 to 50,000 tons, especially in some European and American countries. The demand is large, so the development prospect of snail farming is very large. However, to farm snails, we must first see if there is a market. Only when farming, processing, sales, and consumption are unblocked, can farming have a way out. Some ordinary people will be easily deceived, thinking that farming 30 snails can make a profit of 30,000 yuan. This statement is really exaggerated, so those who want to engage in this field should pay special attention and not be easily deceived. Before farming, you must be fully prepared, analyze the prospects, whether you have the potential in this area, etc. After all, starting a business is not a trivial matter.

6. What are the prospects and sales of snail farming?

First, we raise 100 snails, and then implement three-dimensional shelf farming. The number can be developed to more than 60,000 snails. In addition to the semi-finished products of the snails in stock, the annual output value can reach 40,000 yuan. After deducting the cost of 5,000 yuan, the net profit can reach more than 35,000 yuan. Sales are not a problem, the market is in short supply.

7. What are the benefits of raising snails at home?

There is not much benefit. Although some people are raising them now, the market is not very good.

8. Is it good to keep water snails at home?

1. There is nothing wrong with keeping snails at home. Snail is not the name of a biological classification. It generally refers to all kinds of animals in the family of giant snails, and in a broad sense also includes some animals in other families of the gastropod class (including slugs, etc.).

2. Snails living in cold areas will hibernate, and those living in tropical areas will also hibernate during the dry season. The mucus secreted during hibernation forms a layer of dry film to seal the shell opening, and the whole body is hidden in the shell. They will come out and move around when the temperature and humidity are right.

3. Snails like to live in a dark, humid, loose and humus-rich environment. They hide during the day and come out at night. They are most afraid of direct sunlight and are sensitive to the environment. The most suitable environment for snails is: temperature 16-30℃ (growth and development are fastest at 23-30℃); air humidity 60%-90%; breeding soil humidity about 40%; pH 5-7.
