GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND CARCASS YIELD OF GROWER SNAIL (Archachatina marginata) FED MAIZE CHAFF AND PAWPAW FRUIT

The effect of the nutrient composition of maize chaff and pawpaw fruit-based diets on growth performance and carcass yield of giant African land snail (GALS) was investigated. The feeding trial was for 56 days. A total of two hundred and forty (240) grower snails with an initial average weight of 64.06±0.19g were randomly selected into two groups with six replicates respectively (20snails/replicate) in a completely randomised design.
