Snail rearing and management
A. Breeding methods are roughly divided into two types: outdoor open and indoor closed. Outdoor open style includes ditch type, shed type, courtyard style, etc., let it in the protective ring, similar to growth and reproduction under natural conditions. Indoor enclosed culture can use earthenware pots, plastic pots, wooden boxes, concrete pools, barrels, cylinders, cans, etc., with yarn cover, wet cloth, film sealing, heat preservation and anti-rat poison. Closed indoor breeding facilitates the regulation of temperature and humidity. With sufficient feed, not only can the snail be released from hibernation, but also it can be used for winter winter breeding. It is best to use a plastic film to keep the room indoors for keeping temperature and humidity. B. Preparation of cultivating soil 1 Uncontaminated pastoral soil 30%, sandy soil 30%, yellow sand 20%, cinder ash 15%, stone powder 5%, mixed comminuted, uninhabited by the sun 3 to 5 days disinfection, insecticidal After sieving, add water so that the humidity is about 40%. The thickness of the soil in the pot was: 10 cm into the worm, 7 cm from the worm, and 3 cm from the young worm. The larvae were changed from 1 to 2 months. 2 Sponge Replacement Method Place a 5cm sponge on the bottom of the pool, box, etc., and keep 4 times the weight of the water. Clean up the residual food daily and clean the stool once every 3 days. C. Feeding methods For young pups within 1 month of age, some fresh leaves should be fed. The concentrated feed is boiled on the leaves with hot boiled water and fed once a day. The optimum temperature should be controlled at 25～30°C, day and night. The temperature difference should not be large, do not spray the young worm directly when spraying. In addition to growing green material, it is necessary to cast more concentrate and add trace elements and additives. The daily feeding amount is 7% to 10% of the weight of the snail. Feed should be placed in a food rack or food bowl in order to remove debris. The stocking density increases from dense to thin, with individuals increasing from 400 to 200 per square meter. 603025cm terrariums can be stocked in 100, 5-6 months later, the shell height 4cm, weight 40g or more can be harvested. D. Wintering management can relieve hibernation under artificially controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. If the feeding conditions are not met, when the temperature drops to around 15°C, heat preservation treatment should be carried out according to local conditions. If it is transferred into the room, the raising soil is thickened to 25cm and the surrounding batting is kept warm. China Agricultural Network Editor
