Non-digestible proteins and protease inhibitors: implications for defense of the colored eggs of the freshwater apple snail Pomacea canaliculata

, 2021
Apple snails (Pomacea Perry, 1810) are successful invaders that cause ecological perturbations, economic losses, and medical issues. A peculiar trait of this snail is a high biological potential, related to the absence of predators of their eggs.

Dietary inclusion of golden apple snail egg powder as a natural astaxanthin source modulates MUC2 gene expression without affecting performance or organ weight in laying pullets

Italian Journal of Animal Science
Golden apple snail eggs (GASE) is a potential natural source of astaxanthin, a carotenoid with notable antioxidant properties. However, the presence of antinutrients within GASE raises concerns regarding their effective utilisation in animal diets.

Technical note: Sustainable snail meal enhances duck egg production and health

Poultry Science
This study evaluated the effects of replacing soybean meal with snail meal on laying performance, egg quality, and blood parameters in laying ducks. Five experimental diets with graded levels of soybean meal replacement by snail meal were formulated: T0 (0% replacement), T1 (25% replacement), T2 (50% replacement), T3 (75% replacement), and T4 (100 ...

Embryotoxicity testing of pesticides on snail eggs

, 2009
To assess the hazards of chemicals for the soil, juveniles and adults of several soil organisms such as earthworms or snails have been used as biological models. To our knowledge, no terrestrial standardised bioassay concerns the effects of pollutants on
