The Developmental Rate and Oxygen Consumption of Snail Eggs at Various Temperatures
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung B, 1965 Niedrige Temperaturen verzögern die Eientwicklung der Schnecken Australorbis glabratus und Lymnaea stagnalis stärker als ihren Sauerstoffverbrauch. Folglich bedarf die Embryonalentwicklung bei Minimaltemperaturen größerer Energie durch den Stoffwechsel.

Oxygen Availability and Embryonic Development in Sand Snail (Polinices Sordidus) Egg Masses [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1995 ABSTRACT The oxygen transport physiology of sand snail Polinices sordidus egg masses was investigated using oxygen microelectrodes and open-flow respirometry. P. sordidus eggs are laid in a jelly matrix that rapidly absorbs water and swells into a horseshoe-shaped sausage. The average diameter of these sausages is 37 mm.

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