So what's the slime used for?

Good for asthmatic patients (curative) and also used in making body creams that regenerates the skin. Its the in-thing now in cosmetic products worldwide. Google snail slime cream.

After 5months you should be having at least 20,000 snails excluding mortality and other factors. You can sell off your breeders then for 300 or 250 if you like.

Good effort. Keep it up.

Good and informative tread.
What is the cost of feeding them to maturity?

Awesome

Their food will be part if the construction we will do for you. It will be on ground. You can supplement with poultry mash.

How do I get in touch with you. Am interested in this since I have a parcel of land. Contact me on godsong2000@hotmail.com

Mortality can be quite high , and you seem to have only painted a rosy picture. You can expect as much as 10% mortality even in wet season. In dry season you may be unluckier. Also snails are very moody creatures and when you have overcrowding, as when you say 1000 can turn to 20,000 you will have problems , and they usually resort to cannibalism . Yes, snails eat up one another including shells. What about ants ? If a big enough army of soldier ants discover your snail farm, you can lose all of your snails in just one day. I will advise that anyone should first try on a very small scale first before spending so much money and time on this quite risky venture. I am talking from experience.

Those things you complained about have been factored into the construction.

The breeders field is different from the babies field and also different from the harvest fields. Cannibalism has been greatly reduced as a result of this.

Ants' problem has been anticipated from the beginning and knowing fully well that ants don't fly, a system has been put in place to take care of them too.

In this system the snails are in all round season as they get water evertday. There is artificial irrigation system set up in all the fields.

I luv snails

very nice business thinking of starting it very soon

Vegetation

how do you ensure that the planted vegetation is sufficient for the snails considering the fact that snails eat a lot of vegetation

Afrocatalyst:


Yes. There is the fabric of it and the synthetic. The client's choice finally. The fabric is more expensive and can last 10yrs and above. While the synthetic has a shorter lifespan.

..
Thanks. Pls where did you buy yours?

pls estimated cost of 50by 50 plot of land.I am so interested. hopefully we do business together soon. send to finejoephrasa@yahoo.com
