FACTORS AFFECTING GROWTH OF SNAILS.
Snails will grow when provided with proper environmental and nutritional conditions.The following factors affect growth of snails; these are 1) stress; sudden noise,vibration ,excessive light and excessive touching of snails are stressors that prevent normal growth.
2) overstocking; keeping too many snails per floor space,results in cannibalism , reduced growth and expected turn over.
3)feeding; snails can thrive on fruits,vegetables and compounded ration, but to get the desired growth the snails need to be placed on supplements to boost growth.
4)temperature;the higher the temperature the lower the growth.A temperature above 35 degrees will reduce growth rate of snails.
5) moisture content; the snailery must be moist to assist growth and reproduction,the lower the moisture content the slower the growth rate.
All these factors are still centered on bio security protocols, if not ensured the snails will not grow at all and many will be riddled with disease and many more will die.
