Latest Info You May Never Know On Snail Farming In Nigeria:

As lot of People look for a getaway venture from poultry and fishery business, the offensive smell from livestock with larger body mass, for those who like to cut there share in Agric and would not like the stress and don't have the time to consistently monitor your farm animal as you have in piggery, rabbits, grasscutter, poultry and the cost of pumping water, and a low cost mega venture in the livestock business sector of Agric, Snail rearing is another untapped venture in Nigeria and Africa at large. You can do this business without the need for a single staff and undue over head cost.

Be you a civil servant, private enterprise employee or worker, or be you a business man with a plot of land or a long time acquired acres of land languishing and wasting away somewhere, believe me, like magic, you can turn these to another money making venture as snail is a great delicacy in Nigerian dishes home and abroad, hotels and history.

By facts, and discrete data collation, the Nigerian domestic population stands at 210 million people. The Nigerian's figure scattered all over the world is pegged at another 205 million as almost 1 out of  7 black men or women all over the world is a Nigerian, to couple with the Chinese, Koreans, Indonesian, Central Americans, Europeans Japanese, Thais, Taiwan, Malaysians, Australians, Brazil's over 4 billion population all over the world, I believe Africa and Nigerians can exhaust the opportunities in the snail industry to make real cash with the least stress in the snail sector.

In Nigeria, With a minimum of #600,000 naira you can set up a 43 tonnes snail farm capacity of 215,000 snails or more snail farm capacity on an Acre or 6 plots of Land with start up stock of 1,000 point of lay snails at #400,000 naira of AA or AM breeding stocks. Your mode of pen set up could be extensive or intensive or curtain method. As you do this if breeding the AA stocks, be ready for a population explosion of snail stocks as much as a million plus snails in a matter of a year or 2. So be sure you have sufficient space to manage this unforseen surge of snail population

You can scale down your budget to accommodate the same 1000 or 500 start up snail breeding stocks on a plot of land as well with the same budget of #600,000 naira for pen set up or by far less to as low as #300,000 Naira to accommodate 1000 snail stocks depending on pen models and structure to meet your means and needs on a plot or half plot of land.
That is comparatively you can spend less than #1 million naira to set up a snail pen than the #4,5 million naira it may cost you to set up a 1,000 layers capacity poultry farm and yet you still make by far 10 times the profit you will make from poultry or fishery business provided you have the right market and links or down line to offload your products at an appreciable market value. Alternatively to cut out snail feeds totally, you can have your snails on your farm you intend to weed using organic control by introducing your snails but in a well guided approach so as to make your snails less vulnerable to pest. Your plantain plantation if well secured can be used after the harvest of your plantain, as you can introduce your snails at once without delay.

In snail business, you cannot lose as it is now a fast changing phase for low cholesterol protein option and popular among the elites who are extremely conscious of their cholesterol level. For those thinking if to patronize or opt in snail business or not, I can say its the only livestock business I know for now with low or negligible risk as your cost of production is by far reduced be it organic or hybrid or fattening raised snails with improved feeds.

At DOT SVC & Co LTD we sell Point of Lay at #2,800 per kilo and a kilo has 5 to 6 AA snails in it. Per snail is sold at #500 naira, but you can pay #450 per breeding stock if your buying between 100 and 200 snails. For supply of Snail quantity ranging from 300 stocks and above, you can pay #400 per one. Dont forget that an AA snails lays between 350 to 500eggs per clutch and lays up to 3 to 4 clutches per year unlike the AM breeds which lays between 6 to 12 eggs per clutch and also lays 3 to 4 clutches per year.

We also sell highly fortified and formularized fattening snail feed of 50kg per bag for #3,500 as against the #6,000 to #7,000 naira price in circulation for the benefit of people interested in snail feed distribution. A bag of highly fortified 50kg snail feed is sufficient to feed 1,000 snails for 1 months and if the fattening feed is used in an intensive snail pen system, your snails will be ready for sale in 6 to 8 months with each weighing up to 300gram to 450gram or 500gram at the end of the 6 to 8 months.

*Note that* an average Point of Lay (PL) breeding stock AA snail is sold for between #700 to #2,500 elsewhere that's only if you can ever find a genuine and honest dealer in AA stocks honest to sell you AA stocks less than you get from us.
