Feeding snails (Archachatina marginata) with leaves: growth performance, carcass characteristics, nutrient digestibility, proximate composition and minerals contents of snail meat.

This study explored the dietary impacts of some plant leaves (Centrosema pubescence leaves, Moringa oleifera leaves and Ipomea batata leaves) on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of Archachatina marginata reared in confinement. A twelve (12) weeks feeding trial on nine hundred and sixty (960) African giant land snails (A. marginata) fed various leaves was evaluated.
