How to improve the Survival rate of breeding Snail

Snail farming is a newly emerging breeding industry, which has become a common game on the table, and its market demand is also on the rise step by step. It belongs to high-protein animals and has high edible and medicinal value. But because it is an emerging aquaculture project, its aquaculture technology is not yet mature, and many people die in large areas when they breed. So how to improve the survival rate when raising snails? Let's have a look!

1. Breeding ground

The venues for raising snails are generally based on boxes, and when choosing boxes, try to choose transparent boxes, because this can well observe the growth of snails. The specific size depends on the size and number of snails. Choose a larger box as far as possible to make the snails move better and leave a few small holes to keep ventilated. After selecting the box, spread the breeding soil at the bottom of the box, and choose the soft and fertile soil to keep the soil in a moist state, and snails can not grow in a dry environment, so wet the soil regularly.

2. Feed

Breeding snails are generally raised from childhood, snails have a very mixed diet, for young snails, we can feed some cucumber pieces and tender leaves, and so on. Daily feeding times should not be excessive, control the surrounding temperature, the amount of feeding depends on the weight of the snail. When feeding adult snails, they are also fed with some pieces of fruit, grain powder, etc., and the feed can be varied, which can better promote the growth of snails and improve the survival rate. But snails can't eat salt, so avoid putting food with salt. Snails will die if they eat salt seriously.

3. Culture conditions

Snails do not need the sun for their growth. If they are directly exposed to the sun, they will get sick and die. When the temperature is controlled in the range of 16-30 degrees, the best growth temperature of snails is about 25 degrees. We also need to control the humidity in the air, because snails like a humid environment. And to keep the pH in the soil moderate, if the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 5-40, it will cause the snail to adapt and die. Snails are hibernating animals, so we need to do a good job in overwintering management of snails to ensure successful hibernation.

4. Breeding environment

The growing environment of snails should be kept clean. Snails are addicted to cleanliness, so we must do a good job in the hygiene of boxes. Clean the box regularly, dispose of the residual food and excrement in the box, and change the feeding soil to create a good growing environment for snails. You can also put an appropriate amount of leaves and branches in the box for snails to climb and rest. Pay attention to the ventilation of the box, but also to prevent the invasion of snail natural enemies, to ensure the survival rate of breeding. Disinfect the box with peracetic acid regularly.

The above is the main way to improve the survival rate of snails, to improve the survival rate of snails, mainly to strengthen the management of snails. Maintain the surrounding environment in order to ensure that the snail has a good growth process. We must pay attention to preventing the invasion of natural enemies, which will cause destructive harm to snails. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you.
