Abstract:

For many years Poland has been a highly recognized producer and supplier of Cornu aspersum (Cornu aspersum aspersum, Cornu aspersum maxima) and Helix pomatia snails in European markets. Exports include both live snails and snail-derived food products such as snail meat and eggs. Slime, used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, is another economically significant snail-derived product. This paper presents standardized terminology for farm snails and outlines regulations concerning snail farming, trade, processing plants and snail meat obtained.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Edible land snails are intensively exploited and the management of natural populations is a complex issue due the variety of factors involved. Two species of the genus Helix are present in our country, Helix pomatia and Helix lucorum, both of them collected since 1956. Although current legislation regulates the exploited amount and the dimension of collected snails, the exploitable amount is not assessed using appropriate ecological studies. The farming of edible snails has evolved in Romania especially during the period 2004-2008, the first farms being financed by the SAPARD Project.

The decline in snail population in the wild is not only attributed to indiscriminate gathering but also to anthropogenic activities of man. The demand for snails has triggered due to the health and cosmetics benefits creating the need for an intensive snail rearing and breeding system to meet the growing demand at national and international levels and to achieve its sustainability. This study aimed to characterize snail farmers, identify production systems, profitability, market channels and constraints faced by farmers to achieve sustainability in snail production.

Abstract:

Heliceculture (breeding of snails) has been practiced in Europe for a long time, and here, in Ukraine, the first snail farms appeared literally 10 years ago. Ukrainians quickly realized that among all areas of animal husbandry, heliceculture is the most profitable. At the same time, you can start a business almost from scratch, and the risks are minimized. This is how the snail boom spread throughout the territory, and now molluscs are grown in almost all cities of Ukraine. It should be remembered veterinary and sanitary requirements on snail farms must be given important attention, because if

Riccardoella limacum, a haematophagous mite, lives in the mantle cavity of helicid land snails.

Here we present experimental evidence for a new transmission route in the host snail Arianta arbustorum. Parasite-free snails were kept on soil on which previously infected host snails had been maintained for 6 weeks. R. limacum was successfully transmitted via soil without physical

The research material comprised meat samples collected from three snail species (25g from each), that is, Roman snail (Helix pomatia – HP), small brown garden snail (Cornu aspersum aspersum – CAA) and large brown garden snail (Cornu aspersum maxima – CAM). Roman snails came from their natural environment and were harvested in Wielkopolska Voivodeship and Lower Silesia Voivodeship (

Abstract:

Livestock farming in Nigeria is having its share of climate variability problems which can affect its sustainability, snail is one of the livestock products that are highly susceptible to climate issues because they are subjected to several limitations like a longer period of hibernation and heat stress which increases mortality. Due to the health benefit of snail meat that has made its production very lucrative, it became necessary to conduct this study on the management and climatic pressure on the efficiency performance of snail farmers by adopting a stochastic frontier approach to operatio

The Tunggu Pampang Reservoir is one of the reservoirs located in the city of Makassar. The functions of the reservoir area was tourist attractions and fish farming locations so that the local community uses them for swimming, fishing, selling, and gardening. The existence of various types of freshwater snails in the reservoir has the potential to act as intermediate hosts for trematodes in animals and humans. This study aimed to analyze the type of cercariae in freshwater snails. This research is a descriptive survey to determine the distribution of trematode larvae. The stages of this researc

Abstract:

Snail farming being a low cost farming process that requires minimal professional skill requirements has gained more attention in recent times. Snail meats are rich in protein but are vulnerable to microbial contamination due to their habitat. Smoking and drying are the most common method of preserving snail meat in Africa, especially Nigeria. The quest to retain the nutritional value of snail meat while preserving it fresh has necessitated further investigation. Fresh snail meats were preserved by canning in three packaging media (brine, vinegar, brine-vinegar). The effects of canning time, t

So, the research was conducted at Can Gio mangrove forest to analyze the stomach content of S. paramamosain.
