Snail Farming as an Alternative Profitable Livestock System for Sustainable Development

2021
The current population dynamics is projected to increase yearly, and expected to challenge the Sustainable Development Goals, especially in relation to food and nutrition security. While the demand for agricultural food products is increasing, the availability of cultivable land is either stable or decreasing due to various environmental factors such ...

Dynamics of Diplostomum spathaceum infection in snail hosts at a fish farm

Parasitology Research, 2006
Ecologically sustainable disease prevention in intensive monocultures, such as fish farming, is based on the knowledge of the ecology of parasites and the identification of the key proportion of host populations for parasite life cycles. In this paper, we examined the life cycle dynamics of the pathogenic trematode Diplostomum spathaceum at a fish farm

Distribution of trematodes in snails in ponds at integrated small-scale aquaculture farms

Acta Tropica, 2013
In integrated small-scale aquaculture farming, animal and human excreta maybe used as fish feed and pond fertilizer, thereby enhancing transmission of fish-borne zoonotic trematodes (FZTs) from final hosts, like humans, pigs and chickens, to snails. Areas within a pond could vary in trematode egg-load due to the immediate bordering land, and this might

Snails and snail farming: an introduction for the veterinary profession.

The Veterinary record, 1992
In the past veterinary interest in snails has been confined to their role in the transmission of disease; nowadays the trend to keep these animals in captivity--for food, for study, as 'companion animals'--means that the profession is increasingly likely to be consulted about their health, welfare or conservation.

Population Dynamics of Aquatic Snails in Three Farm Ponds of Puerto Rico

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1970
Abstract Three ponds containing Biomphalaria glabrata, the snail host of schistosomiasis, and other aquatic snails were studied in Puerto Rico for over a year to determine birth, death. and growth rates of the snails. A sampling system involving an Emergy dredge was used to estimate the total number of snails in the ponds as well as the amount of ...

The detection of snail host habitats in liver fluke infected farms by use of plant indicators

Veterinary Parasitology, 2011
Field investigations in 361 liver fluke infected cattle- or sheep-breeding farms on acid soil were carried out during thirty years in March and April to record indicator plants in relation to the category of site colonized by the intermediate host of liver fluke, the snail Galba truncatula. Seven types of snail zones and six species of indicator plants

A Practical Approach To Backyard Snail - Farming

Nigerian Journal of Animal Production, 2015
The housing and feeding requirements necessary for quick multiplication of snails were studied using fifty mature African giant land snails of the species Archachatina marginata (Swainson). Their initial weights ranged from 250g to 450g. The feeding materials used were green pawpaw fruits and leaves (Carico papaya), shaft from fermented milled maize ...

Microbial flora associated with the soils of edible snail farms in Southern Nigeria

Nigerian Journal of Soil Science, 2006
Microbial analysis of soil samples collected from snail farms in two different locations (Ughelli, Delta State and Obokofia, Imo State) in southern Nigeria were carried out and compared with that of soil samples collected from ordinary farmlands in these locations.The snail species encountered in this study were Achatina achatina and Archachatina ...
