Snail breeding is currently an environmentally friendly feature of rural aquaculture. Snails are high in nutrients, with sufficient protein, human fat, and some vitamin e and minerals, which are very necessary nutrients for the body, so they are favored by everyone. Snail breeding technology has a low threshold, breeding is very fast, and the production volume is also very high. Because the snail consumption population is cold, the demand is very small, resulting in a poor snail sales market and too few farms, which is the primary reason why farmers are reluctant to raise snails.
Snails are rich in nutrients. The snail body contains 82.8 grams of water, 9.9 grams of protein, 1.4 grams of human fat, 4.4 grams of sugars and carbohydrates, 73.0 calories, a variety of nutrients and minerals. Snail beef is tender, delicious and nutritious, and is particularly different from other small animal foods. It is a high-protein food in the small animal meat products food category, low calorie, but also with a variety of fatty acids and antioxidants beneficial to the body, and with a variety of beneficial nutritional elements, is a nutritional food for the elderly, especially the "three high" patients of high-quality nutritional food. Snail protein content is even higher than raw eggs, when in 100 grams of snail beef protein can reach 60.04 grams, the composition is very high, in carnivores is not common. Therefore, snail beef is regarded as a high-grade delicious food that enhances physical fitness. According to Li Shixuan's "Compendium of Materia Medica", snail beef also has many diagnostic and therapeutic effects, which can cure many diseases, and it is not explained too much here. Therefore, snail beef is a very good nourishing health product and efficacy and function, is a high-quality health care specialty food.
Snail products, in foreign markets, the annual consumption of more than 400,000 tons. Snail frozen meat in the New York market price, equivalent to rmb181.19 yuan / catty. A dish made of 6 snails abroad can reach a market price of 18 US dollars. Fresh snails in France, Italy and other places, the market price of the sale market is equivalent to rmb58.05 yuan / catty. However, fresh snails in China, the market price of 7.5 yuan / catty, mainly hotels and other high-end consumption. In China's entrance and exit of white jade snail fruit canned 9,000 to 14,000 US dollars. At this stage, China has already developed and designed a series of health care products with snails as the key raw materials, a series of biochemical drugs, a series of composite nutritional beverage products, a series of skin care products, canned fruits with rare wild game, frozen meat products and other commodities. We can also extract and produce pure natural moisturizing creams from snail metabolism liquid chemicals for skin care applications. The snail enzymes we also obtain from snail beef are the key processing raw materials in many fields such as the medical industry, nature, textile industry, skin care industry and brewing industry. Therefore, the economic benefits of raising snails are very rich.
Snails have such good development prospects, is a very brilliant whole industrial chain, why is the development trend of the snail industry chain so slow in the village? Even unwilling to raise it? What is the most critical reason? (1) As a food class, snails have only one kind of high-end consumption at this stage, and the consumer population is small. At this stage, the group taking snails, only some people who are very familiar with the nutritional components of snails and some customers who are curious about carnivorous nature, and their reception of foreign guests to visit these, the consumer population is very small, resulting in very small sales. (2) There is no habit of taking snails. This problem is more complicated, because in our country is a multi-Chinese nation of our country, every Chinese nation, every region, every group, and each of its people, the diet structure is different, the ancient history of snail taking is very rare, the vast majority of customers do not take snail beef habits. This is also the snail as a food class, at this stage is not mastered by many customers, accepted, is the snail commodity sales market is narrow primary reason. (3) The breeding and economic value of snails is in a blind spot closed situation, without universal publicity planning, not under our control. At this stage in the countryside, if you mention the nutritional content and economic value of snails, many farmers show suspicion, indicating that they do not understand the relevant expertise of snails. (4) At this stage, rural snail breeding is a designated and committed breeding method. At this stage in the countryside, snails are a one-stop breeding and market sales, and it is a point-to-point operation mode, otherwise, the snails raised by farmers cannot be sold. There is no market for sale. (5) Snails are fresh food and have an expiration date. Once farms do not find a market for sale, the snails raised become waste or waste, which can lead to property damage.
In general, all the above reasons are also the primary reason for the shortage of snail farms in rural areas. Because of the existence of this reason, agricultural breeding snail farms are very few, raising snails at this stage in the countryside, although the economic value is high, is a good new project for farmers to get rich, but has not obtained universal publicity planning, marketing promotion and popularization, snail breeding industry in the countryside is very outdated, still need to develop and design.
