13/12/2024

Did you know that snail farming is gaining traction as a sustainable agricultural practice worldwide, especially in regions like Nigeria? Beyond their delicacy, snails are eco-friendly, producing minimal waste and requiring fewer resources compared to other livestock. Plus, their slime is now a hot commodity in the skincare industry, valued for its healing and anti-aging properties.

Here’s a fun fact: a single giant African land snail can lay up to 1,200 eggs a year. With the right setup, this could mean a highly profitable farm with minimal investment!

As a snail farmer in Nigeria, the key to your farm’s success is giving your snails the right food at the right time. Hatchlings (baby snails) and adult snails need different types of food to grow and stay healthy. This guide will explain what they need and how you can give them the best care to boost your snail farm.

𝑪𝒂𝒏 𝑩𝒂𝒃𝒚 𝑺𝒏𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒔 𝑬𝒂𝒕 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒅?

Yes, baby snails can eat formulated feed, but it must be suitable for their age. Hatchlings need more nutrients like protein and calcium to grow strong and healthy. The feed should be finely ground so they can eat it easily. You should also add natural foods like soft pawpaw leaves, lettuce, and crushed eggshells to give them extra nutrients.

𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑯𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑲𝒆𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝑭𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉

Hatchlings grow fast, so they need plenty of energy and nutrients. Here’s what you should focus on:

- 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒊𝒏: They need 20-25% 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑖𝑛 in their feed. This helps them grow muscles and build strong shells.

- 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒄𝒊𝒖𝒎: Make sure to give them 𝑐𝑟𝑢𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑑 𝑒𝑔𝑔𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑠 or 𝑐𝑢𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑏𝑜𝑛𝑒. Calcium is vital for shell formation.

- 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓: Keep their enclosure moist and provide foods rich in water, like cucumbers. Snails can’t survive if it’s too dry.

- 𝑭𝒊𝒃𝒆𝒓: Hatchlings need soft, easy-to-digest food because their digestive systems are still growing. Foods like boiled yam or soft leaves are good.

- 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒆: Feed them 3 times a day with small amounts to match their rapid growth.
Since snails are nocturnal and more active at night, 𝑖𝑡’𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑑 ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑡𝑤𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑎 𝑑𝑎𝑦—𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔. Make sure to leave food overnight so they can eat when active.

𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑨𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒔: 𝑭𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝑴𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆

Adult snails aren’t growing as fast, so they don’t need as much protein or calcium. However, they still need a balanced diet to stay healthy and produce strong shells.

- 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒊𝒏: Adult snails only need 15-18% 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑖𝑛 in their feed. Too much protein can cause shell deformities.

- 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒄𝒊𝒖𝒎: Adults still need calcium, but not as much as hatchlings. Leave cuttlebone or crushed eggshells in the enclosure for them to nibble on.

- 𝑭𝒊𝒃𝒆𝒓: Increase the fiber in their diet with more leafy vegetables. This helps with digestion.

- 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒆: Adults can be fed 𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑎 𝑑𝑎𝑦 or every other day.
Since adult snails are most active at night, 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 or every other evening. Leaving food overnight allows them to eat naturally during their active hours.

𝑨𝒅𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑩𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏 𝑺𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏

Snails in Nigeria behave differently depending on the season. Adjust their feeding routine based on whether it’s rainy or dry.

- 𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒚 𝑺𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏: Snails are more active, so feed them more 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦-𝑟𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑠 like ripe fruits and high-protein feeds.

- 𝑫𝒓𝒚 𝑺𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏: During the dry season, reduce their food slightly since they become less active. Focus more on ℎ𝑦𝑑𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 with water-rich foods like cucumber and pawpaw.

𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒏𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝑬𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕

The environment affects how well your snails grow. Hatchlings are sensitive to dry conditions, while adults can handle a bit more dryness. Here’s how to manage their space:

- 𝑻𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆: Keep it between 25-30°𝐶. If it’s too cold, they’ll eat less and grow slower.

- 𝑯𝒖𝒎𝒊𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒚: Maintain a humidity level of 80-90% to keep your snails active. Mist their enclosure regularly, but avoid waterlogging it.

𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒏 𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑨𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒅

Many snail farmers make mistakes that harm their snails. Here are some to watch out for:

- 𝑶𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑨𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒔: Too much protein can deform their shells. Stick to lower-protein feeds.

- 𝑼𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑯𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔: Hatchlings need frequent feeding. Missing meals will slow their growth.

- 𝑵𝒆𝒈𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑴𝒐𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆: Snails need a moist environment. Dry conditions will make them inactive and slow their growth.

𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒆

To make it easier, here’s a simple feeding schedule:

- 𝑯𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔: Feed 2 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑎 𝑑𝑎𝑦 with finely ground formulated feed, soft leaves, and calcium supplements.

- 𝑨𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒔: Feed 𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑎 𝑑𝑎𝑦 with whole leaves, some fruits, and occasional protein supplements.

𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏

Understanding the differences in feeding hatchlings and adult snails can make or break your snail farm. Hatchlings need more protein, calcium, and water, while adults need maintenance-level nutrients. By following the feeding schedules and keeping the environment moist and warm, you’ll raise healthy snails and improve your farm’s productivity. Always monitor their growth and adjust their diet based on the season.

By applying these feeding tips, you can see faster growth rates, healthier snails, and better profits from your snail farm.

Did you know that some of your favorite fruits and vegetables are man-made?

Broccoli doesn’t grow naturally! It was developed over time through selective breeding from wild cabbage. We can thank human ingenuity for this nutritious veggie!

Lemons? Same story! They’re a hybrid fruit, created by cross-breeding a bitter orange and a citron. We might think they’re natural, but they’re a result of centuries of cultivation.

Even oranges are a product of cross-breeding mandarins and pummelos, not naturally occurring fruits.

While these foods aren't considered GMOs (genetically modified organisms), they show how humans have always shaped the foods we eat through selective breeding and hybridization. The difference? GMOs involve lab-based gene alterations, while selective breeding relies on choosing the best traits over generations.

This is why I don't completely oppose GMOs and why I laugh at those who scream the loudest against them—they're often ignorant of the science. Many of the fruits and veggies we eat today were shaped by human hands, just in a different way.

The key takeaway? Science and agriculture have always gone hand in hand to make our food more diverse and sustainable!

To grow healthy snails that mature quickly and fetch good prices, providing the right nutrients is key. Just like humans, snails need a balanced diet to thrive. If they lack essential nutrients, they won’t grow well, their shells will be weak, and they might not produce as many eggs. Below are important nutrient sources to include in your snail feed.

1. 𝑨𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒍 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒔
Animal proteins are vital for snails. You can give them fish, meat, animal offal, or even cow dung. These are rich in proteins that help snails grow strong and healthy.

2. 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒔
Plant proteins are another great source. Soya beans, cowpea, groundnut cake, dried cassava leaves, and Moringa leaves are excellent. Blending them into a powder makes it easier for snails to digest and absorb the nutrients.

3. 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒃𝒐𝒉𝒚𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔
Carbohydrates provide energy for your snails. Good sources include wheat, maize, rice, guinea corn, cassava, and yam. Make sure to blend these into a fine powder, so the snails can easily consume them.

4. 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑶𝒊𝒍
Adding fats and oils from groundnuts, melon seeds, or palm kernel is important. These help in energy storage and overall growth.

5. 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒔 (𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒄𝒊𝒖𝒎)
Calcium is crucial for shell development. Feed your snails with ground-up bone meal, eggshells, or burnt snail shells. Oyster shells are also a good source. Without enough calcium, snails' shells will be weak, affecting their market value.

6. 𝑽𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒔
Vitamins from fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, ripe bananas, and plantains are essential. They help with growth, egg production, and overall health. A well-fed snail will grow faster and reach maturity earlier, making your farm more profitable.

𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒏𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒅
With all these nutrients, you can create a balanced and nutritious feed for your snails. By combining the right amounts of animal proteins, plant proteins, carbohydrates, fats, oils, minerals, and vitamins, you ensure that your snails get everything they need to grow healthy and strong. This customized feed can be more effective than relying on natural foraging alone, leading to faster growth and better overall production.

𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏
Ensuring that your snails get all these nutrients will help them grow larger, stronger, and healthier. This leads to better sales, whether you’re selling locally or exporting. Remember, a healthy snail is a profitable snail!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐒𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫?

If you grew up in rural Nigeria, you probably remember the excitement of "snail-picking" when the rains came. It was fun gathering those snails and keeping them under a big pot, right? 😊 But let me ask you this—does that make you a snail farmer? 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗢!

Being a snail farmer goes beyond just picking snails from the wild. So, what really makes you a snail farmer? Let’s break it down:

1️⃣ 𝑪𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒔: Not all snails are created equal. You might be tempted to start farming with snails you’ve picked up here and there, but that’s a mistake. Some snails grow so slowly that six months later, they’ll still be the same size! Imagine how discouraging that would be. That’s why selecting the right species—like 𝘈𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘢—is key to success. ✍️💯

2️⃣ 𝑼𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝑵𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔: Snails are patient creatures, but they still need proper care. A true snail farmer knows how to create the right environment for them to thrive. This means knowing what they eat, the best housing for them, and how to protect them from predators.

3️⃣ 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝑲𝒆𝒚: Farming snails isn't something you do once in a while. It’s about being consistent—feeding them properly, monitoring their growth, and keeping their environment just right. It’s this dedication that sets a real snail farmer apart from someone who just picks snails after it rains.

𝗦𝗼, 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺, 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲, 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲! 💪
