Re: The A-Z Of Snail Farming In Nigeria (what Nobody Will Tell You For Free!) by Hondo27(m): 3:03pm On Jun 01, 2017 |
What is reason for it ? But it is AA ? And I know it's slow growing but more prolific. Your group is great I have a snail hunt organized for weekend and it's a great help to many unemployed women . |

You have a n excellent farm project it's easier than I thought to get started you information helps avoid mistakes in a friends compound that has lots of greenery she found in a few hours 75 good sized snails nearly market size. I think she could preserve this habitat by enhanced feeding and calcium supplements 1 Share

I am in enugu and about to start this snail venture. Thank you @Lordhugo. I have read and have follwed this thread since November 2016. I presently have no snail now and plan to ask some women around to help me catch some adults to startoff with(maybe 50 adults) and breed to multiply. My vision is targeting 10,000 by July next year (long term vision) and probably scour for available market to process for export. God bless you @lordhugo P.S Any small farmer in enugu? Please call zero49601061 would like to see your small farm. |

onyexx: You can get breeders for 400 Naira. Pre-lay will cost 250 Naira. Snail prices are fluid anyways. |

Hondo27: Very nice. Please drain the holding container. Add some hole so it doesn't hold water. Snails drown. 1 Like |

Rawpheeher: If your area is prone to underground pests such as termites. You might need to floor with cement. Just make sure you add a good layer (6 inches plus of good soil and compost thereafter) of soil. |

Hondo27: They are both fulicas but different sub species. They lay a lot and are found mostly in urban areas. Edible I think so. 1 Like |

Hondo27: Yes, a short block wall for the exterior with a gutter filled with water and a few pesticides to ward off pests. You are in tune already. The interior is different though. (I would like to learn how to make your type of solar dryer.. Can we get to meet?) Check the picture attached.

Toza11: i've come to realize that it's best to leave the eggs where they're laid and only remove the hatchlings into the small pens |
Re: The A-Z Of Snail Farming In Nigeria (what Nobody Will Tell You For Free!) by cashtender: 3:08am On Jun 18, 2017 |
phemmy03: I think so too, if not, I can't imagin how large snail farm will require you moving the eggs to another pen. |
