Introduction to Snail Farming

Snails are derived from the wild life environment and are used as food, feed or source of revenue in given parts of the world. Usually unknown to animal production specialists and often officially ignored also by the livestock services of their home areas even though their meat may be appreciated and command a higher

price than more conventional animals.

Snails are invertebrates with soft bodies covered with hard carcareous shells. More also snails are hermaphrodites i.e. they are capable of reproducing on their own without any form of mating with a female or male gamete.

Snails are often found lying around in bushes across West Africa, even till recent days but there as been significant change in finding them now lying in bushes due to heavy deforestation.  We can easily find them in bushes during the wet season, normally from April-September in large quantities.

Now some farmers found it as a lucrative livestock and they adopted it and started rearing them. This process is known as “Heliculture”.

Snails do not require much money in feeding them as their food is naturally available in form of green leaves and some fruits.
