Did you know that snails are the most
prolific livestock animal producing more
than 150 eggs at a time in one clutch? Its
also the livestock that requires less stress
in breeding them. You can buy a baby snail
for less than N30 and make more than
N200 as profit on such snail when it
reaches table size.
The prolific aspect is that you can decide
to breed 4 snails and before a year runs
out you will have more than a thousand
snails in your snail farm.
So let me take you into the commercial and
medicinal/ nutritional value of snails.
Introduction to Snail Farming:
Snails are derived from the wild life
environment and are used as food, feed or
source of revenue in given parts of the
world. Usually unknown to animal
production specialists and often officially
ignored also by the livestock services of
their home areas even though their meat
may be appreciated and command a
higher price than more conventional
animals.
Snails are invertebrates with soft bodies
covered with hard carcareous shells. More
also snails are hermaphrodites i.e. they are
capable of reproducing on their own
without any form of mating with a female
or male gamete.
Snails are often found lying around in
bushes across West Africa, even till recent
days but there as been significant change
in finding them now lying in bushes due
to heavy deforestation. We can easily find
them in bushes during the wet season,
normally from April-September in large
quantities.
Now some farmers found it as a lucrative
livestock and they adopted it and started
rearing them. This process is known as
“Heliculture”.
Snails do not require much money in
feeding them as their food is naturally
available in form of green leaves and some
fruits.
Nutritional/Medicinal Value of Snail:
Snail meat is high in protein than that of
pig, poultry, fish cattle, sheep and swine.
Iron content (45-59mg/kg), low in fat
(0.05-0.08). and contains almost all the
amino acids needed for human nutrition.
Recent studies indicated that the glandular
substances from edible snails cause
agglutination of some of certain bacteria,
which could be of value against a variety
of ailments. It can also be used to combat
some body illness of human including
whooping cough, anemia.
Commercial Value of Snail:
Consumption of snail globally:
There is a flourishing international trade
of snails in Europe and North America. In
France the annual requirement is about
5million kg; 60% of which is imported.
The estimated annual consumption in Italy
is 306million snails. In West Africa snail
meat has traditionally been a major
ingredient in the diet of people living in
the Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Ghana and
Cameroon.
In spite of the considerable external and
demand, commercial snail farms such as
those in Europe, South-East Asia and the
Americas do not exist in West Africa. Here
in West Africa snails are gathered from the
forest.
Demand for snail meat in Nigeria:
Snail farming is one of the most lucrative
farming Venture anyone can embark on in
Nigeria. It is far easier than any other
animal rearing business and twice more
profitable too.
Snails are real source of wealth and the
great thing about snail is that, its in high
demand. If you have good quality of snails,
hotel and eateries will literally queue on
door for it because it is used for making
very high priced nutritious delicacies.
Sadly, Nigerians are inclined to go into
business that carry so much noise and
bells, thereby neglecting such lucrative
area of business like snail farming; in
Nigeria which can as well be exported to
international countries and earn huge
foreign currencies.
