CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is it good to raise snails in a building? (Is it true that raising snails can make money?)

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. Can farmland snails be raised?

Snails can be raised, and it is not difficult to raise them. Before raising them, you can create a humid and cool environment for the snails. Prepare a container of suitable size, put paper towels, sand and soil on the bottom of the container, and spray water into it regularly to maintain good humidity. When the paper towels are dry, sprinkle water again, and replace them in time when they are dirty. Keep the growth temperature at around 25-30 degrees, and do not let the temperature drop below 15 degrees. Feed the snails regularly, three times a day, and feed one or two vegetable leaves each time.

3. Is it okay to keep snails as pets?

It is easy to raise and is a good choice as a pet. Here are some methods and suggestions for raising it.

Snails are omnivorous animals that need a variety of nutrients during their growth and reproduction. To feed snails well, the first thing is to scientifically formulate the feed, and the second is to pay attention to scientific feeding methods.

1. Common feed types and characteristics

1. Green feed, such as tender branches and leaves of green plants, is the basic feed for snails, which is rich in chlorophyll, plant protein, inorganic salts and vitamins.

2. Melon and potato feeds such as pumpkin, wax gourd, potato, sweet potato, etc. are rich in starch, sugar, minerals and water, are crispy and juicy, and have good palatability.

3. Bran feeds such as wheat bran, rice bran, corn husks, bean husks, etc. are rich in starch, phosphorus, sulfur and vitamin E. 4. Oil meal feeds such as soybean powder, sesame powder, bean cakes, rice bran cakes, etc. can provide rich protein, oil and vitamin B.

5. Animal feeds such as fish meal, bone meal, earthworm meal, etc. are high in protein, calcium, and phosphorus, and contain a full range of essential amino acids.

6. Inorganic feed includes bone meal, shell powder, silkworm shell powder, shrimp shell powder, etc., which can provide rich calcium. It should be pointed out that snails do not eat irritating foods such as onions, garlic, leeks, and peppers. When feeding, do not mix in poisonous plants such as Euphorbia, Aconitum, Hypericum, Celery, and Arisaema.

2. How to prepare feed When preparing snail feed, we should not only consider the snail's age, weight, physiological state, etc., but also pay attention to the following issues:

1. In compound feed, green feed should be more, and beans, cereals and bran feed should be less.

2. Choose feed that is cheap and has high nutritional value according to the region and season.

3. When preparing feed, at least three types of feed should be selected to ensure that the nutrients are complete.

4. The prepared feed should not contain toxic or moldy substances.

3. Feeding Method

1. Feeding amount Snails have a large food intake, and their daily food intake accounts for about 4% to 5% of their body weight. Generally speaking, the amount of food fed each time should be higher than 4%, but not too much, so that they can finish eating before the next feeding.

2. Feeding frequency In hot summer, feed once a day. In spring and autumn, feed once every 1-2 days. If there is no heating in winter, feed enough feed before hibernation, and feed enough feed after hibernation, so that it can recover its strength as soon as possible and grow and develop in time. If it is heated in winter, the feeding frequency can be controlled according to the temperature, usually feeding once every other day.

3. Feeding time: Snails are active at night, so feeding should be arranged in the evening and there is no need to feed them during the day.

4. Feeding method: It is best to choose a single variety of vegetables, fruit leaves, and green plant stems and leaves each time to avoid wasting the feed that the snails only eat. Green feed can be placed directly on the breeding soil or on a net woven from plastic ropes, allowing the snails to forage on their own. Rice bran, wheat bran, fish meal and other feeds should be placed in a porcelain basin and placed in the middle of the pool or box. Compound feed should be mixed with warm water in the basin first, and the amount of water should be such that it can be held in a ball by hand and will fall apart when released. Remember that feed cannot be placed in an iron basin to prevent the iron from rusting and poisoning the snails after eating.

4. 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.

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. Is it okay to keep snails as pets?

good

When raising snails as pets, it is best to use transparent utensils to increase the ornamental value. When feeding them, you can directly feed them chopped cabbage. Be sure to clean them before feeding to prevent pesticide residues.

It doesn't like light, so when breeding, don't let it be exposed to strong sunlight. Snails also need careful care.
