A Detailed Guide to the Breeding Methods and Techniques of the White Jade Snail
Snail meat is tender and plump, rich in nutrients, and a high-protein, low-fat food that is deeply loved by people. Among these is an important snail variety, the White Jade Snail. So how do White Jade Snails breed? What breeding management techniques are there for White Jade Snails?
1. How White Jade Snails Breed
The White Jade Snail is hermaphroditic and mates with another individual. In artificial breeding, as long as temperature and humidity are well controlled, they can breed in all four seasons.
2. What Breeding Management Techniques Are There for White Jade Snails?
1. Breeding Preparation
Snails are a wild species, while the White Jade Snail is a superior variety improved through long-term cultivation by people. In artificial breeding, the first thing to do is create an environment suitable for their survival if breeding is to succeed. First is temperature: the suitable growing temperature for White Jade Snails is 20-30 degrees, and they grow fastest at 26-28 degrees. There are also certain requirements for humidity: the air humidity in the indoor environment should be 75%-95%, and the soil humidity should be 35%-45%. When raising them, it is best to choose garden soil with higher fertility or soil rich in organic matter as the feed soil.
2. Raising Density
Choose snails with strong adaptability to the environment, a darker shell color, a body weight of about 40 grams, and strong activity as breeding stock. Then determine the raising density according to the growth time of the White Jade Snail. Generally, the raising density for breeding snails is about 150-200 per sq m, while at one month of age 2000 can be raised per sq m, at two months of age 800 can be raised, and gradually shifting onward, when they reach adulthood and can be sold, 30-50 are raised per sq m.
