How to Make Money From Snail Farming Business

 

Snail rearing (Heliculture) is one of the most lucrative farming businesses with huge returns on investments, yet, it is one of the most neglected farming businesses in the world today. Snail farming business is an excellent opportunity for farmers to make a good deal of income within a brief investment period. The demand for snails is very high both in the domestic and export market.

 

 

 

 

 

Snail farming is a process of rearing or raising land snails for the primary purpose of human consumption. Snails are a healthy and as well a tasty source of nutrition; they are known to be an excellent source of protein, iron, and low in fat as well as containing virtually all the amino acids needed by the human body. Studies have shown that the glandular substances available in snails, cause agglutination of some bacteria that are valuable in the body to fight against a variety of ailments.  

 

 

 

In West Africa, during the wet season (mostly between April and September), Snails are found lying in the bushes and can be hand-picked. But due to a high deforestation, there is a significant change in finding them. The demand for snail is increasing on a daily basis, with an inadequate supply. Rearing snails do not require a huge amount of investment, their foods are naturally available in the form of green leaves and fruits, as most snails are vegetarians. They are invertebrates with soft bodies covered with hard shells, they are hermaphrodites, meaning that they are capable of reproducing on their own without coming in contact with themselves.

You should avoid landing on clay soil, good soil is advantageous for snails and will provide them with nutrients. Their shelter must be well covered to prevent escape and must be secured against predators.  

 

 

 

 

 

Snails are said to be the most prolific livestock that produces more than 150 eggs at a go, while some breed can produce up to 500 eggs at ones and can lay three times in a year. You can buy a lot of baby snails for a few dollars and sell them off for profit when they reach table size.
