2024-02-05 01:45:28 120

White jade snail (scientific name: Cantareus aspersus) is a common terrestrial snail, also known as "French snail", which is usually raised and eaten by people. The following is a detailed introduction to white jade snail breeding:

1. Site selection and environmental preparation

  • Temperature and humidity: White jade snails like a warm and humid environment, and the suitable temperature is generally between 15-25 degrees Celsius.

  • Lighting: White jade snails are sensitive to light and should be maintained with appropriate lighting.

  • Ventilation: Maintain good ventilation and avoid an environment that is too humid or dry.

2. Feed and feeding management

  • Feed: White jade snails mainly feed on vegetables, fruits, oatmeal, cardboard, etc. When feeding, attention should be paid to providing fresh and clean food.

  • Stocking Density: Avoid overcrowding and maintain appropriate stocking density to allow snail activity and growth.

3. Habitat and facilities

  • Container: Prepare appropriate containers such as glass boxes, plastic buckets, etc. to provide sufficient space for snails to move around.

  • Soil: Put an appropriate amount of moist but not too moist soil or pupa soil to provide adequate shelter and habitat for the snails.

4. Reproduction and disease prevention and control

  • Reproduction: White jade snails are hermaphrodites and can self-fertilize. Care should be taken to control the number of reproduction to avoid over-reproduction.

  • Disease prevention and control: Regularly check the health status of snails to avoid possible disease problems caused by overfeeding, too humid environment, etc.

5. Growth monitoring and management

  • Weight and body length monitoring: Measure the weight and body length regularly to observe the growth status of the snail.

  • Management: Deal with injured or sick snails promptly and keep the breeding environment clean and hygienic.

6. Keep the environment clean

  • Clean the snail breeding container and soil regularly to keep the environment clean and avoid the growth of bacteria and mold.

7. Marketing

  • If it is commercial breeding, we should pay attention to the demand and price of the sales market, and reasonably plan the breeding quantity and timing.

The breeding method of white jade snails requires care and patience. Reasonable feeding management and breeding control are important factors to ensure the breeding effect. Through scientific breeding technology and good management practices, breeding efficiency and quality can be improved and better economic benefits can be achieved.
