Talking about the mixed culture of snails and maggots

In order to improve the economic benefit and biological transformation of breeding snails, the method of mixed culture of snails and earthworms is being used in many places at present. By using this feeding method, earthworms and snails can increase production at the same time. This is because the feces of agate snails are rich in organic matter, which can be used as a good food for earthworms. According to calculations, the average weight of each snail is 32. 75 grams, and about 1. 5% of the faeces are discharged in one day. About 5 grams, while the young snails weighing 0. 45 grams excreted about 0. 5 percent of their feces in one day. 09 grams. After mixed culture, it not only makes full use of the organic matter and food residue in snail feces, but also avoids the soil work of cleaning boxes and ponds every week.

In addition, according to the experiments in Guangdong and other places, although the brown agate snail can eat the corpses of earthworms, it will not harm the earthworms living in the potential soil when the feed is sufficient, and there is no phenomenon of killing each other between the two. In the process of mixed culture, the growth and reproduction of both snails are relatively normal, and grow better than single-fed snails.

According to the proportion of agate snail mixed with earthworms, the earthworms can basically clear and digest the faeces of snails, and both grow better than normal. In mixed culture, the amount can be calculated according to weight, and the ratio of snail to earthworm is 11:1 to 15:1. At the beginning of breeding, the number of earthworms can be less. Because in the process of mixed culture, earthworms will also grow and reproduce, so in the breeding process, it depends on the growth and reproduction of snails and earthworms, and the proportion should be adjusted at any time. If you find that there is too much earthworm manure, you can remove some earthworms and replace some new soil. Recently, some farmers have carried out comprehensive culture on the basis of mixed culture of earthworms and snails. It is to use the residue after cultivating mushrooms as feed for earthworms to raise earthworms, and then to raise snails on the feed bed for raising earthworms. The excreta and leftover food residue of snails are the feed of earthworms, and the feces of earthworms become high-quality organic fertilizers for crops and flowers. In this way, mushrooms-earthworms-snails-crops and flowers form a small cycle of biological comprehensive utilization, which can further improve economic benefits.
