FINANCIAL PLAN ON A COMMERCIAL SNAIL FARM ON A FREE RANGE SYSTEM OF 1000 SNAIL BREEDERS
1) Cost of structure on 2plots.......#1,600,000
2) Cost of breeders......#400,000
3) Cost of feeding 30,000 baby snails from 2 months to 8 months using the snail feed as supplement. On free range cost of feeding is zero,
due to abundant fruits and vegetables that will be heavily planted inside the pen. Waste fruits and vegetables can be served once a while.
Cost of snail feed..........#200,000
The breeders are expected to lay 30 eggs each in a breeding season of 6 months.
Mortality rate of eggs projected @20% will generate 24,000 eggs
which will develop to baby snails and Adult/Matured snails
Sales of 24,000 matured at 10 months @ #500 each will give 24,000 × #500 = #12,000,000.
Estimated profit = Sales - Cost of building + Cost of feeding supplement + Cost of breeders + Cost of labour attendant for 1 year.
#12,000,000 - #1,600,000 + 400,000 + 200,000 +180,000 = #9,620,000.

snail is considered to be high-quality food packed with protein and is also a great source of iron. It contains 15% protein, 80% water, and 2.4% fat which makes it an alternative food for people requiring a high protein low-fat diet. Here’s a breakdown of individual
benefits snail provides the body.
Protein
Snails do provide a low-calorie source of protein which is essential for building and repairing muscle and is also better at filling you up than carbs and fat. Many people look to seafood as an easy source
of protein, but actually, snails have more.
Iron
The iron nutrient found in snails is essential for building red blood cells and carrying energy around the body. A lack of iron can lead to extreme fatigue and anemia.

Vitamin B12
Often cited as the ‘energy vitamin’,

Snail slime Use in cosmetics

The benefits of snail slime in skincare were officially discovered by Dr. Rafael Abad Iglesias, a Spanish oncologist in the 1960s. He applied radiation therapy used for killing cancer cells on common snails. It caused the snails to secrete
mucus due to agitation. He noticed that injured areas on the snail’s skin were healed quickly. Dr. Rafael Abad Iglesias tested the snail secretion on humans and concluded that it could help expedite the restoration of human skin.

In the 1980s, a Chilean family
owned a snail gardening business to sell escargots to French wholesalers. Through many days of handling these snails, they recognized that their skin became softer and clearer, with scars and cuts by metal cages noticeably reduced. The eldest son of the family,

*CALCIUM AS PART OF SNAIL DIET*
WHAT ARE THE NATURAL SOURCES OF CALCIUM?
There is need for appropriate inclusion of certain nutritional supplements needs
which includes calcium in snails’ diet. Low calcium intake will slow growth rate and
cause the shell of the snails to be
thinner. The growth and performance of animals
generally is dependent on the quality of feed consumed. Poor intake of feed will
ultimately result into poor growth and poor production & development. Snails need
regular supply of calcium and phosphorus for shell formation,
good health and
maximum egg production. Minerals in the tissue aid digestion, absorption and
transformation of feed to release energy. For hatchling calcium need is 3.5%-4.5% for
growers same as for hatchlings while for adult 5.5%.
We shall consider the various

WHAT ARE THE MERITS OF SNAIL FARMING? 

From our own experience, they include, among others: 

1. Snail farming in Nigeria is a virgin in the kingdom of livestock as a result the earlier investors without doubt have bright prospects in exploring this venture.
2. Snail farming is a practicable and viable venture yet unexplored in Nigeria. If it has worked elsewhere, it will work in Nigeria. 

3. This technology has been approved to be most lucrative farming venture presently, as it requires far less capital investment,
while much profit is being generated in a considerable short period. It has lower risk compared to other livestock farming. 

4. The demand for snail is higher than the supplies as such the market potential of snail is inexhaustible, locally and internationally.

*Types of diseases in Snail farming*
The common diseases affecting snails either in their wild or in their cultured environments includes:

Fungal diseases mainly Fusarium Spp affects indigenous snail species native to West African region.
These diseases is commonly referred to as rosy eggs disease and the affect eggs turns reddish brown and die off.

Parasites such as Alluaudihella Flavicornis are diseases vectors to snails both in their wild and under domestication.
Bacterial diseases caused by Pseudomonas Spp especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes intestinal infections in snails. This disease affects snail’s normal growth and development processes.

Deficiency diseases, it occurs mostly in domesticated snails with

*WHAT TO DO WHEN ANTS ATTACK YOUR PEN.*
These are what to do when ants invade your snailery without panic or using of
chemical or spending money.

A simple process with the benefit of affordability, safety and time saving is to:
*Method 1*
1. Remove the snails and wash them in water to free them from any attacking predator. Be careful while you do this, so you don't break their shells at the hedge or
drown them in water. Don't commit the mistake of dropping them in water or
keeping them there to get rid of the
ants. Wash them one after the other.
2. Search and remove all discoverable eggs as much as you find. Keep them according
to hatching procedures.
3. Boil water to boiling point and generously apply the hot water on the soil of the snailery. The water
