Demand characteristics of feed for cultured snails

I think everyone is very familiar with the snail, especially with the rapid development of the midnight snack industry in China in recent years, the demand for snail is also increasing. In the midnight snack industry, the market share of snail is very large, so the prospect of snail culture in recent years is also very good.

Demand characteristics of feed for cultured snails

The culture pond should first apply some feces to cultivate plankton to provide bait for field snails. The amount of fertilizer application depends on the fat and thin of the bottom material of the snail pond.

1. Snail feed. Young snails should start feeding two weeks after delivery, and egg yolks should be used at the beginning. After 2 days, they can be allowed to eat natural bait. When the snail is feeding, it licks the bait with its tooth tongue, so when feeding solid bait, it must be soaked soft to be suitable for feeding.

2. Young snail feed. After the snail was put into the human pond, it began to feed green vegetables, rice bran, fish offal or tea cake, bean cake and so on. Green vegetables and fish offal should be chopped and mixed with rice bran and other fodder; vegetable cakes and bean cakes should be soaked and softened to facilitate snail feeding.

3. Adult snail feed. The demand for adult snail feed in one year can be divided into four periods:

From March to May, ① is the preparation period before mating and begins to feed.

The period from May to the middle of August of ② is the period of spawning and hypertrophy. In the early stage, the appetite increases sharply, and in the later stage, the appetite is sometimes depressed due to the influence of spawning and high temperature.

From August to mid-October, ③ prepared for hibernation, increased appetite in the early stage, accumulated nutrients and prepared for hibernation. Before entering hibernation, its food intake decreases.

When spring comes and field snails begin to wake up after hibernation, ④ begins to be fed with organic fertilizer the week before. (5) during the preparation period for oviposition and hibernation, it is appropriate to feed twice a week. The feeding amount can be flexibly controlled according to the feeding condition and water quality of field snails. (6) the field snail is the most suitable to grow in the range of 20-26 ℃. When the water temperature is below 15 degrees or higher than 30 degrees, there is no need to bait

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".

Do you make money by raising snails?

Field snail is the general name of edible aquatic animals of Oncomellidae. There are many kinds of snails, such as round field snail, field snail, yellow snail, snail, sweet snail and so on. 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". In recent years, with the decrease of the natural output of field snail, the field snail market is becoming more and more optimistic. At present, artificial breeding has been started in Guangdong, Fujian and other areas, and many farmers have made great efforts to cultivate snails as a way to start a business.

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.

From the above introduction, we know that the growth of field snail is also divided into several stages, and the feed formula it needs in each stage is different, so the growth habits of each stage are also different, so breeders should pay attention to differential treatment.
