1. Farming Methods for White Jade Snails

(1) White jade snail farmland farming method

Choose farmland or vegetable garden land surrounded by shade trees, plow, level and harrow it fine, and enclose the surroundings with mesh fencing to prevent the snails from escaping the farming area. In daily management, pay attention to keeping the farming soil moist. When the weather is dry, sprinkle water in time to maintain reasonable humidity. When there is a lot of rain, do a good job of drainage and dehumidification in time.

(2) White jade snail housing farming method

Build dedicated housing or use abandoned factory buildings for snail farming. The walls and ceiling inside the farming house are insulated with plastic foam boards of 5cm or more, and plastic film is attached to the walls and ceiling to prevent the snails from crawling and escaping.

(3) White jade snail greenhouse farming method

First plow the farmland, expose it to the sun for disinfection, then build an arched plastic greenhouse about 6-8m wide and 40m long on it, with a 1.8m×2.0m door at each end for ventilation and transporting items. In warm and humid areas, an open shed-type farming shed can also be built to raise snails in a shaded and rain-sheltered environment. Inside the shed, bricks are used to build multiple farming cells for raising them.

2. Feeding White Jade Snails

In addition, when raising white jade snails, mainly use fresh and tender vegetables, bean seedlings, melons, etc., and evenly sprinkle a small amount of prepared concentrated feed on the green feed. Feed once a day, and the feeding time is preferably 18:00 in the afternoon.

3. Disease Prevention and Control of White Jade Snails

White jade snails rarely become ill, so prevention is the main approach. Regularly keep the farming house clean and hygienic, promptly clean up snail feces and leftover feed, and periodically disinfect the floor of the farming house and the rearing soil.

Warm reminder: Overwintering management of white jade snails is a very important task. The farming temperature must be controlled at 20-30°C, otherwise it will have adverse effects on the normal growth of the snails, such as tuberculosis, shell shedding disease, foot rot disease, etc.
