Farmers can obtain considerable economic benefits by breeding snails in small water surfaces or rice fields. The following is an introduction to the breeding technology of snails:

1. Selection of snail breeding sites

The snail breeding site should be selected in a place with sufficient water source, good water quality, humus soil and convenient transportation. It is best to have running water.

Construction of breeding pond. The specifications of snail pond are generally 1.5-1.6 meters wide and 10-15 meters long, and can also be based on the terrain. The pond is surrounded by ridges, which are about 50 cm high. Inlets and outlets are opened at both ends of the pond, and nets are installed to prevent snails from escaping. At the same time, aquatic plants such as wild rice stems are sparsely planted in the middle of the breeding pond, which can not only increase the land output rate, but also create a good ecological environment for the growth of snails.

2. Stocking quantity and feeding management

1. The stocking density of snails is generally 100-120 per square meter. At the same time, about 5 silver carp and bighead carp are raised per square meter for the main breeding. The stocking time of snails is generally in March.

2. Fertilization and feeding. First, add some feces to the breeding pond to cultivate plankton to provide food for the snails. The amount of fertilizer depends on the fatness of the bottom of the snail pond. After the snails are put into the pond, feed them with green vegetables, rice bran, fish viscera or vegetable cakes, bean cakes, etc. Chop the green horns and fish viscera and mix them with rice bran and other feeds before feeding. Soak the vegetable cakes, bean cakes, etc. to soften them for the snails to eat. The feeding amount depends on the feeding situation of the snails. It is generally calculated as 1%-3% of the total amount of snails, and feed once every 2-3 days. The feeding time is every morning, and the feeding location does not need to be fixed. Feed is put every other day. When the temperature is below 15℃ or above 30℃, no feeding is required.

3. Water quality regulation. First, the snail pond should be frequently filled with new water to regulate the water quality, especially during the breeding season. It is best to keep the water flowing, especially in the hot season, and the effect of water breeding is better. In spring and autumn, micro-flowing water breeding is better. The water depth of the snail pond needs to be kept constant. The field snail is a kind of freshwater snail grown in my country and is a top-grade health food.
