Plan On A Commercial Snail Farm On A Free-range System of 1000 Snail Breeders
- Structure on 1 plot
- Breeders
- Feeding for 1000 breeders and 30,000 baby snails using the snail feed as supplement. On free range cost of feeding is reduced, due to abundant fruits and vegetables that will be heavily planted inside the pen. Waste fruits and vegetables can be served once a while. Cost of snail feed
- Labour per annum
- Miscellaneous Expenses
The breeders are expected to lay minimum 30 eggs each in a breeding season of 12 months. Mortality rate of eggs projected @20% will generate 24,000 eggs which will develop to baby snails and to Adult/Matured snails
Farming cycle: 12 months
ROI: 30%
(B) ESTIMATED FINANCIAL PLAN FOR 80,000 SNAIL CAPACITY USING 1000 SNAIL BREEDERS, USING A TRENCH METHOD.
- Cost of snail pen construction (Trench system)
- Cost of feeding 1000 snail breeders for a year. The 1000 snail breeders will produce 40,000 eggs in a year. Each of the snail breeder is expected to produce 40eggs in a year.Mortality rate is expected to be 10% for eggs and 20% for hatchlings that will grow to Adults snail in a year.
- Cost of feeding 32,000 baby snails from hatchlings to adult snail in a year
- Cost of purchasing 1000 breeders snail
- Cost of labour (farm attendant).
Farming cycle: 12 months
