Live snails

Our farm is engaged in the sale of live snails wholesale and retail. We only deal with Helix Aspersa Muller snails.

Helix Aspersa Muller

This variety of snail is known as the French "little gray" snail. Muller is served as an aperitif and delicacy in many restaurants. The Muller snail gained its fame thanks to its ability to adapt, the ability to survive in any conditions.

The Muller snail grows quite quickly (3-4 months), unlike, for example, other types of snails. Muller meat has a high concentration of protein, amino acids, an ideal balance of calcium and organic radicals, phospholipids, carbohydrates and minerals.

Anabiosis of snails

"Hibernation" or defensive reaction of snails. The snail falls asleep under unfavorable conditions for which the snail, when the temperature drops, forms an epiphragm - a film of frozen mucus, with which the snail closes its own shell. Air remains in the shell between the epiphragm and the body of the snail. In their natural environment, snails are in the soil at a depth of up to 25-30 cm, and do not leave the state of suspended animation until the earth warms up.

In this state, the snail can be from 4-6 months.

Causes of suspended animation of snails can be different: seasonal temperatures, illness, stress, adverse environmental conditions.

Snail breeding

The process of breeding snails is divided into stages: reproduction, appearance and growth of snails, collection of snails.

At the stage of reproduction, the broodstock is in the room for breeding and laying eggs.

At the stage of appearance and growth of snails, small snails appear from the eggs, which are kept indoors for some time. Starting from May, when the weather becomes consistently warm, the young snail is placed in outdoor enclosures. For fattening a young snail, a special variety of rapeseed or lettuce is used.

The stage of collecting snails begins from September-October, when the temperature begins to decrease, after which the snails are placed in a refrigerator for up to 8 months.
