- W994902017 abstract "There is inadequate information on quality feedstuffs for large scale production and all year round availability of snails in Nigeria. This study evaluated the performance, carcass analysis and sensory evaluation of cooked meat of growing Archachatina marginata snails fed plant wastes as a sole feed ingredient. 120 growing snails of mean weight of 132.91±2.13g were randomly allotted to 4 dietary treatments of pawpaw leaves (PL), whole lettuce (WL), lettuce wastes (LW) and cabbage wastes (CW). Each treatment was replicated thrice with 10 snails per replicate in a completely randomized design. The feeding trial lasted 6 months. Treatment effect on shell length and width was significant (P<0.05) with snails on LW recording highest while no significant differences were observed in the shell thickness gain (P>0.05). The highest dressing percentage of 43.2% was obtained for snails on LW while the lowest value of 35.19% was recorded for snails on PL. The treatments had no appreciable effect on the nutrient composition and sensory quality of the snail meat. The highest dry matter digestibility of 83.50% was recorded in snails on CW which was statistically similar to those on LW (83.33%) while the least value of 78.33% was recorded in snails on PL. The weight gain and feed per gain followed the same pattern as the dry matter digestibility. It can be concluded that growing snails can utilize lettuce waste as well as cabbage waste as sole feed thereby increasing the feed data base for snail production in the Tropics." @default.
