Giant-snail farming:Heliciculture

Habari News Tanzania

Heliciculture, or snail farming is the process of farming or raising land snails specifically for human consumption, and more recently, to obtain snail slime for cosmetics use.
Perhaps the best known and most often cultivated land snail species in the Western world is Helix pomatia, the Roman snail, Burgundy snail or apple snail. Another species eaten is Helix aspersa. Both of these land snails are European in their native range.
