Feeding management of young field snails in cultured field snails

With the continuous development of China's aquaculture industry, snail culture has become a more concerned project. We all know that the snail market is very popular in recent years, especially in the midnight snack industry, the sales volume of snail is very large.

Feeding management of young field snails in cultured field snails

The main food of young snail is the microorganism in water or the young stem and leaf of aquatic plant. The feed requires fine, fine, tender, juicy, digestible and nutritious, mainly fresh and tender green vegetable leaves, supplemented with a little wheat bran, rice bran, fish meal and so on. In artificial breeding, certain farm manure should be applied to cultivate water quality and propagate plankton. The feeding amount is 250 grams of green feed and 50 grams of concentrate per square meter per day. In addition, the organic fertilizer retted by weeds by the pool is also a good feed for raising field snails. Feeding management of young snails the by-products and abandoned vegetables of all kinds of grain processing plants can be fed. The manure applied each time should be 30% of the snail's body weight, and the rice bran and other concentrates should be 10% of the snail's body weight. Twice a week.

Prospect of field snail culture

Snail meat is a kind of nutritious natural health food, and it is also known as beauty food abroad. It contains 10.3% protein and 1.2% fat, as well as vitamins, calcium, iron and other essential elements. The nutrition of field snail meat is better than that of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, and is no less than that of crucian carp and sea cucumbers. Snail meat can nourish kidney yin, clear eyes and clear brain, enhance muscle elasticity, delicate skin and so on.

Field snail can be used as home meat, can also be processed into a series of food, cooking a variety of medicinal meals, disease prevention and treatment. At present, the natural growth of field snail is far from being able to meet the market demand, and the field snail culture grows fast, the yield is high, and there is a wide range of ways to cultivate field snail "money".

The method of selecting field snails

When buying field snails, choose ones that are large, round and have a thin shell. The mask of the snail needs to shrink completely, the shell of the snail is light cyan, there is no overflow of meat and juice, and the single net weight is larger. Field snails are also divided into male and female. The meat of the female snail is more delicious than that of the male snail because of its nutritional savings.

Select the female field snail, you can observe its antennae, the female's left and right antennae are the same size and extend forward; the male's right antennae are thick and short, and the ends are curved to the right. When selecting, we should also pay attention to the selection of live fresh snails. When selecting, you can gently press your finger on the mask, the elastic one is the live snail, otherwise it is the dead snail.

Economic benefit analysis of field snail

1. It is beneficial to raise young snails in that year. 60, 000 field snail seedlings were released 7-15 days after early rice transplanting, and by the time the late rice was harvested, it had reached the specification for sale. According to the survival rate of 90%, there were 54000 snails, with an average weight of 10 grams each, with a total of 540kg. The price of complete ecological farming is 6 yuan per kilogram, with a total income of 3240 yuan.

2. Rice production increased by 10% in 667 square meters, 160 kg in the whole year, and 70% in pesticides and chemical fertilizers. 667 square meters increased income and reduced expenditure by 150 yuan. The total income is 3390 yuan. two。 Expenditure for the year: 973 yuan. There is a balance between income and expenditure, making a profit of 2417 yuan. In the first year, 1100 large snails were released and kept in fish ditches and fish pits as snails in the second year. If we carry out self-propagation and self-cultivation, we can save the money of planting seedlings and get higher income.

Although it is said that the breeding of field snail is a project with low investment cost and high return, breeders should not blindly follow the trend. Before breeding, they should first understand its current market situation and the development trend in the next few years. In short, any industry has risks, and it is always good to be careful.
