@Dyoungforester...
Like how many mature snails is ideal for a snail pen of this dimenson{length,breadth,height} 10ft by 5ft by 3ft.

50-100 snail is OK.

Thanks..

Hello everybody,

really interesting reading. I would like to ask you. Is there many of snail farms in Nigeria?

Thanks for your response

HOW tO MAKE YOUR SNAIL GROW BIG aND bIGGEr
Alternate a variety of choice greens with compounded feed
Don't feed snailswaterleafs
Greens that will make them grow well and fast: mulberry leaves, pawpaw leaves, matured and about to ripen pawpaw fruits, locust bean pods (the yellow pulp inside) and the young green leaves as well
For ur baby snails feed them boiled eggs, loyamilk (high in calcium), mashed young tender leaves of mulberry, ugwu, pawpaw, and spray them "liquid ultra cal D" once a week during feeding (their body/foot absorbs it well).

Pls how can one get liquid ultra cal D ?

dyoungforester:
Feeding

What are those shredded things?
How do u clean up with food scattered like this?

dyoungforester:
Thanks @ gadget. If I want to give an advice with 1000 snails I would go for SEMI INTENSIVE system reasons been because it is more productive and it requires less work but total monitory is not feasible in terms of management routine like knowing the actual number of your snail..... but you can harvest your snail at night by bating them with fruiting juice then harvest the matured ones and leave the immature ones..... but with proper care and management you will shake the world with your WEST AFRICA GIANT LAND SNAIL. 1000 snails can reach up to 20million snails within a year.
Price analysis
I think with that number of snails you can get each of maginata from 80-100 because in Edo state one goes for 120 naira. while fulica can will be lower than that of maginata.

Why do u have to bath with fruit juice?

dyoungforester:
Do you know that selling of snails requires measuring of the total length of the snails before selling which the outcome measurement will determine how much each snails can go for when I first heard it, it sound strange to me but with proper explaination from my CO-FARMER with several years experience I later understood while it is done so.

Pls can u explain why this is done?

that method was adopted based on some farmer interest but now the method is stale...

snail business is a real business not under way round...

good evening great farmers

A time has come, the wind had blown, the nation had called, the called must be answered to without an iota of slackness among the feeble people. Dyoung Forester (I. E the C. E. O of Dyoungforester farms) is or would be leaving his beloved family and his Animals for the nation call to another man's land. My Beloved bunnies I. E RABBITS would miss me, my snails, sheep, goats, my crops would never forget my care for them. My neighbor in school would never forget their so called WORKERHOLIC, those passers-by who used to say eku ise ni beye would miss me, my vetenary services to my neighbors farm would never be forgotten. My campus villas I. E V. I mosque, Independent villa would never forget one of my nickname (Abu Debenson), my wife to be would also say Honey, Ife mi, Ayo mi I'm missing you already, my customers would also say Dyoung where are you? we want to patronize you.... Infact I can't forget all these memories. So the nature called is behind all these I. E NYSC program at Delta state. So Delta state had already hijacked me from my loved one in South west here, so no worries the spirit of entrepreneurer never dies irrespective of the constrains we go there we chop their money by given out what we have...
God bless my family
God bless my Home town
God bless FUNAAB
God bless Nigeria.
Our passion can never be truncated with these NYSC program. (Amin).
