Snail farming is the gradual rise of the aquaculture industry in recent years, with people's pursuit of healthy, green food, snail as a high-protein, low-fat aquatic products, the market demand is gradually increasing, the scale of breeding is also expanding. The snail farming industry is showing a vigorous development trend.
The cost of snail breeding mainly includes the cost of early seedling, bait, electricity and other expenses. Taking one mu of breeding as an example, about 200 catties of small snails and 40 catties of large snails are put in the early stage, plus bait and other expenses, about 1060 yuan needs to be invested. Raising three crops a year costs about 3,500 yuan.
And the profits of breeding snails are very considerable. About 8,000 catties of snails can be harvested a year, and the income is about 1 according to the wholesale price of 2 yuan per cattyAbout 60,000 yuan. After deducting costs, the income per mu is about 130,000 yuan.
To carry out snail farming, you first need to understand its basic requirements and processes. The pH value of the water suitable for the growth of snails is 70~8.0. The water temperature should be kept at 20-30 degrees Celsius, and the suitable water depth should be at 15~2.About 5 meters. In the process of breeding, the water quality needs to be changed regularly to ensure that the water quality is clean, and the sediment should also be cleaned up.
In snail farming, proper management of food** and growing environment is very important. Snails are omnivores, mainly feeding on plant feed and plankton, so it is necessary to ensure the abundance of plankton in the water during the breeding process, and some vegetable residues can be added as supplements. In addition, the eutrophication of the water body should be cleaned up regularly, and the thickness of the sediment in the water should be controlled to ensure that the growth environment of the snail is clean and sufficient.
The prevention and control of common diseases in snail farming is an important part of ensuring the efficiency of breeding. In the breeding process, common diseases include snail necrosis, ulcer disease, infectious anemia, etc. In order to effectively prevent the occurrence of these diseases, the management of aquaculture waters should be strengthened, the water quality should be kept clean, the water pollution caused by overfeeding should be avoided, and the breeding density should be strictly controlled to avoid excessive intensive aquaculture. In addition, check the health status of snails regularly, and isolate them in time if any abnormalities are found** to avoid the spread of diseases. In addition, establishing a sound epidemic prevention system and rational use of antibiotics and vaccines are also important means of preventing common diseases.
Marketing and profitability analysis is a key part of the aquaculture industry. At present, snail breeding varieties are abundant, and the taste is delicious, which is loved by consumers. At the same time, with people's emphasis on healthy eating, the demand for green and organic food is also increasing, which provides a broad space for the market sales of snails. In addition, the snail breeding cycle is short, the investment is small, the income is high, and the market potential is huge. Therefore, for farmers with certain breeding conditions and technologies, snail farming is a very promising and profitable industry.
With the improvement of people's living standards and the deepening of attention to healthy diet, snails, a high-protein, low-fat aquatic product, have broad prospects. Driven by the most supportive policies, the snail breeding industry will usher in better development opportunities, and technology research and development will further improve the efficiency and output of snail farming. In the future, with the continuous maturity of breeding technology and the increase of market demand, the snail breeding industry will usher in a better development prospect.
