1. Snail breeding technology?1. Open-air farming method The open-air breeding method can be used for breeding in farmland. After plowing, the soil should be finely ground, and broad-leaved trees should be planted around the field to provide shade. Nets should be used around to prevent snails from escaping. The roof of a flat-roofed house can also be used for breeding. Loose soil with a thickness of more than 10 cm is placed on the roof, and a few grapes are planted around and a trellis is built to provide shade. Nets are also used around. The advantages of the open-air breeding method are fresh air and good humidity, fast growth of snails, and mild disease. It should be noted that water should be sprinkled in time during drought to keep the soil moist; drainage should be carried out in time when there is a lot of rain; natural enemies and livestock and poultry should be prevented from invading, and those who have big cats at home should pay more attention. 2. Plastic greenhouse farming method Choose an open space of 30 meters long and 6 meters wide, plow it first, build a 30-centimeter-high wall around it, build a plastic greenhouse, open the front and back doors, and level the plowed soil in the greenhouse before breeding. The advantage of the plastic greenhouse breeding method is that it is easy to adjust the temperature and prevent natural enemies. However, it should be noted that in the hot season, sunshade facilities should be added to keep the soil moist and the air properly convective. 3. Indoor farming method Indoor breeding methods can be divided into two types: flat breeding and three-dimensional breeding. (1) Flat surface farming In the room, bricks are used to build squares about 25 cm high and 2 to 3 square meters in size, and the squares are padded with pine wood more than 10 cm thick. (2) Three-dimensional breeding First, make a wooden box (the box is about 25 cm high, the length depends on the needs) and a shelf, pad the box with loose soil more than 10 cm thick, and then put the box layer by layer on the shelf. This breeding method is simple and easy, with low investment and safety. It should be noted that: open the doors and windows for ventilation every day; adjust the temperature and soil humidity; keep the soil clean and the indoor hygiene; cover the box with a breathable net to prevent the snails from escaping. 2. How to raise small snails?We all like to keep some pets, because pets can bring people happiness and help their owners eliminate some loneliness. However, some people want to keep small snails, so how should snails be fed? Step 1: First, you need to find a box, preferably a sealed box with a lid (must be breathable). If you don’t have one, you can also use an open box and cover it with a layer of net to prevent the snail from crawling away. Step 2: Then put paper towels on the bottom of the box, preferably smell-free paper towels, and then spray them with water because snails need a humid environment, otherwise they will dry out and die. Step 3: Generally speaking, snails should be fed three times a day. Before feeding, check whether the paper towel is clean (whether the snail has defecated). If it is dirty, replace it with a new moist paper towel before feeding the snail. Step 4: In addition, snails do not like sunlight and must not be kept in the sun. The room temperature between 25 and 30 degrees is the most suitable environmental temperature for snails. Step 5: You can feed the snails some vegetable leaves and fruit slices, because snails are omnivores and like to eat these things. However, they cannot contain salt, because snails are afraid of salt. Step 6: You can also put some grass or branches in the snail box. This will create a better living environment for the snail and allow the snail to crawl around so it isn't too monotonous. 3. How to raise snails?The most common method is outdoor breeding. The whole piece of land is leveled and surrounded by some broad-leaved trees, which can effectively block the sun. In order to prevent them from escaping, it is recommended to surround them. Indoor breeding method. This method is mainly divided into two types: plane breeding and three-dimensional breeding. If you adopt plane breeding, you need to build a 25 cm high and 2 to 3 square meters square grid with bricks indoors. Some soil also needs to be put in the square. After all, snails are animals that survive in the soil. Of course, they are also suitable for outdoor breeding. The soil needs to be kept moist. More importantly, the indoor humidity must be controlled. At the same time, if the indoor temperature is relatively high, attention should be paid to ventilation. The three-dimensional breeding method may be relatively simple. Just make a wooden box with a height of about 20 cm, and then put a layer of loose soil ten centimeters thick in the box, and pay attention to placing the boxes layer by layer on the shelf. This breeding method is relatively simpler and requires less investment. More importantly, this breeding method is safer. However, everyone must pay attention to the fact that when the weather is hot, you must open the windows for ventilation, adjust the overall temperature and soil humidity, and ensure the hygiene of the soil. 4. How to raise snails? What do snails eat?1. Young snails are mostly saprophagous, mainly feeding on decaying plants; adult snails generally feed on green plants, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc. of various plants, especially young shoots and succulent plants, as well as various waste paper, pig manure, plant residues, etc. They will also cannibalize each other when hungry. 2. For indoor artificial breeding of snails, it is advisable to choose a leeward open space, 30 snails can be placed per square meter, feed once a day, and spray water 1-2 times. For indoor wooden box breeding, 10-15 cm thick humus soil is laid in the box, and vegetable leaves are placed on it. 20-30 snails are placed in two boxes, and water is poured once every two evenings with a watering can to make the inner wall of the box moist. Snails should be fed once every night, and vegetables, crops, green manure crops, weed roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of each season, melon peels, fruit peels, leftover residues and waste paper can be used, and some concentrated feed, protein feed and mineral feed can be added. It can also be fed once every two days, and snails can eat leftover rice and humus. Natural enemies such as chickens, ducks, sparrows, pigeons, and mice should be prevented during breeding. Key points for snail breeding: 1. Prevent dry wind and cold air from blowing in directly, and the entrance should adopt double doors, hanging cloths, and windshields. 2. Resolutely control the entry of odorous gases into the breeding site. 3. The breeding container must have good water permeability and air permeability. 4. Do not use strong light when not working. Darkness is best. Use 15W red bulbs for lighting at night to stimulate egg laying. 5. How to keep snails alive longer?1. Temperature: The cultivation temperature should be controlled between 16 and 40°C; 2. Soil: The breeding soil should be moist and fluffy humus soil; 3. Light: Snails are shade-loving animals and do not need sunlight. During the breeding season, you can give snails some scattered light to stimulate egg laying. 4. Humidity: The relative humidity of the air in the breeding environment should be between 80% and 90%; 5. Feeding: Feed the snail one to two pieces of vegetable leaves every day. 6. How to keep snails alive?Before raising snails, you must first prepare a suitable living place for them, and also feed them reasonably according to their eating habits. During the breeding process, you must do a good job of managing temperature, humidity, hygiene, etc. 1. Feeding box Snails can be kept in boxes made of glass, plastic or other materials. The best ones are transparent, so that it is easy to observe the snails in the box. The size of the box depends on the size of the snail. Generally speaking, it is best to choose a larger box to allow the snail to have a certain amount of space to move around. The box cannot be sealed, but must have a gap to allow air circulation inside the box. 2. Spread the breeding soil After choosing a box for snails, you need to spread a layer of sterilized soil in the box. The soil can be some soil dug from the vegetable field and spread on the bottom of the box, with a height of about one-fourth of the box. Because snails like a humid environment, the soil must be kept moist and not too dry. Therefore, according to the dryness of the soil, spray the soil with water. 3. Feeding Snails are omnivorous animals, and they like to eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, melons, etc. In daily feeding, you can feed snails with a variety of vegetable leaves, some rotten fruits, wheat flour, white beans and other foods. You can feed snails in different ways, and you don't have to feed them a single food. But you should pay attention that snails are afraid of salt and salty foods, so you must not let snails eat salt. 4. Breeding environment Snails are most afraid of direct sunlight and are sensitive to the environment. The most suitable temperature for snails is 16-30℃ (they grow fastest at 23-30℃), air humidity is 60-90%, soil humidity is about 40%, and pH is 5-7. They hibernate when the temperature is below 15℃ and above 33℃, and may be frozen to death or killed by heat when the temperature is below 5℃ or above 40℃. In cold weather such as winter, snails will hibernate. 5. Hygiene and cleaning Snails like a clean environment, so you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the breeding box. Generally, you should clean it every 3 to 4 days to remove the food residues and snail feces in the box to provide the snail with a clean environment. In addition, you should also put some leaves, branches, etc. in the box for the snails to crawl and play on. But be sure to spray water on the box to keep it moist. 7. What are the methods of breeding snails?Breeding methods. (1) Wooden box breeding: Use 1 cm thick wood to make a 40 cm x 50 cm x 15 cm wooden box, and cover the lid with glass to prevent the snails from escaping. Wooden box breeding is more common in northern my country. (2) Net cage breeding: Net cage breeding is to enlarge the wooden box, generally with a length of 4. The cage should be 5 meters long and 1.2 meters wide, with several partitions in the middle to increase the activity area of the snails and prevent them from crowding together. The two sides of the cage can be made of wood, bricks, and plastic cloth, 26-30 cm high, and covered with plastic mesh to prevent the snails from escaping. Cage breeding is low-cost, easy to operate, well ventilated, and provides a large surface for snails to move around. They grow faster than in wooden boxes or plastic pots. Cage breeding is common in northern my country. (3) Basement breeding: Build multiple layers of cement slabs in the basement, leaving a door-shaped passage in the middle for easy operation. The slabs are 100 cm long and 50 cm wide, with each layer 40-50 cm apart, and bricks are used at both ends of the slabs. The basement is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the temperature and humidity are easy to control, but ventilation must be maintained, the air must be fresh, and a certain amount of light must be provided. (4) Greenhouse breeding: Choose a sunny place that is sheltered from the wind, plow and harrow the ground 25 meters long and 6 meters wide 2-3 times, make the soil fine and level the ground, leave a 50-centimeter passage in the middle for easy management, and then build a trench around it or make a "T"-shaped greenhouse. This greenhouse can raise 200,000 two-month-old young snails on the ground. 8. How to breed snails?1. Living environment First, you need to find a box, preferably a breathable sealed box, and put paper towels on the bottom of the box, preferably odorless paper towels, and then spray it with water, because snails need a humid environment, otherwise they will dry out. In addition, snails do not like sunlight, and the room temperature between 25 and 30 degrees is the most suitable environment for snails. 2. Food Because snails are omnivores, they like to eat vegetable leaves and fruit slices, but they cannot contain salt because snails are afraid of salt. Generally speaking, you should feed snails three times a day. Before feeding, check whether the paper towel is clean. If it is dirty, you have to replace it with a new wet paper towel before feeding the snail. 3. Winter management Hibernation can be ended under artificial temperature and humidity control. If the breeding conditions are not met, when the temperature drops to around 15℃, insulation treatment should be carried out according to local conditions. If it is moved indoors, the breeding soil should be thickened to 25 cm and cotton wool should be used for insulation. Additional information: Breeding points: 1. Temperature 16~40℃, 25℃ is the best, usually it can be higher but not lower. Heating must be done with ground dragon fire channel, and it should be prepared all year round, especially in late spring and early summer, to prevent sudden temperature drop, it is best to use heating if conditions permit, and do not use stove heating. 2. Humidity The surface humidity of the breeding soil should be maintained at 25% ~ 35%, and the relative humidity of the air should be 85% ~ 90%. It can be wet but not dry. To control humidity and retain moisture, cover the top with plastic cloth. 3. To prevent dry wind and cold air from blowing in directly, the entrance should have double doors, hanging cloth and wind shield. 4. Resolutely control the entry of odorous gases into the breeding grounds. 5. The pH of the breeding soil must be controlled at 6.5-7.5. Do not use contaminated sandy soil that has been treated with pesticides or chemicals. 6. The breeding container must have good water permeability and air permeability. |
