2. What are the breeding methods of snails?

1. Open-air cultivation method

Open air cultivation of snails can be carried out by using farmland for cultivation. After ploughing, the soil will be fine, broadleaf trees will be planted around the field to shade the sun, and nets will be used to block the surroundings to prevent snails from escaping. The roof of the flat roof can also be used for cultivation. Loose soil with a thickness of more than 10 cm will be placed on the roof. Several grapes will be planted around and set up to shade the sun. The nets will also be used to block the surroundings. The advantages of open air cultivation method are fresh air, good humidity, fast growth of snails and light incidence of diseases. It should be noted that water should be sprayed in time when the weather is dry. Keep the soil moist, timely drainage of rainwater, prevent the invasion of natural causes and livestock, and pay more attention to raising big cats at home.

2. Indoor breeding method

It can be divided into two kinds: plane culture and three-dimensional culture. Plane culture is to build a square with a height of about 25 cm and a size of 2-3 square meters indoors with bricks. The square is padded with pine trees with a thickness of more than 10 cm. Three-dimensional culture is to make wooden boxes first.(Box height about 25 cm, length depending on the need) and shelves, in the box pad more than 10 cm thick loose soil, and then put the box layer by layer on the shelf, this breeding method is simple and easy, less investment, safety, it should be noted that every day open the doors and windows ventilation, adjust the temperature and soil humidity, keep the soil clean and indoor hygiene, the box is covered with breathable nets to prevent snails from escaping.

3. Plastic greenhouse cultivation method

Select a 30-meter-long, 6-meter-wide open space, first plow again, build a 30-cm-high wall around, build a plastic greenhouse, open the door front and back, level the soil plowed in the shed, and then cultivate it. The advantage of the plastic greenhouse cultivation method is to adjust the temperature and prevent natural enemies. However, it should be noted that shade facilities should be added in high temperature seasons to keep the soil moist and the air properly convected.
