INFLUENCE OF Archachatina marginata SNAILS’ GROWTH PHASES ON BODY WEIGHTPREDICTIONS USING SIMPLE LINEAR AND QUADRATIC MODELS
This study evaluates body weight predictions in Archachatina marginata across different growth phases, showing that the quadratic model provides higher accuracy, particularly in late growth phases, with aperture length and diagonal length as key predictors.
IMPACT OF EGG SIZE AND EGG WEIGHT ON HATCHABILITY AND GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA SNAILS
This study investigates the impact of egg size and egg weight on the hatchability and growth performance of Archachatina marginata, showing that medium-sized eggs yield the best results for hatchability and juvenile growth.
ASSOCIATIONS WITHIN THE DIFFERENT EGG SIZES AND BETWEEN BODY WEIGHTS AND LINEAR BODY MEASUREMENTS IN Archachatina marginata SNAILS
This study examines the associations between egg traits and body weights in Archachatina marginata snails, highlighting significant correlations that can guide crossbreeding and selection for genetic improvement in snail farming.
CORRELATIONS BETWEEN BODY WEIGHT AND GROWTH TRAITS OF Archachatina marginata SNAILS OFFSPRING AT DIFFERENT AGES
This study examines the correlations between body weight and growth traits in Archachatina marginata offspring. The BO X BS mating group showed the highest correlation values, indicating heterozygote advantage for improved growth and returns in snail farming.
THE EFFECT OF DIETARY INCLUSION OF AZOLLA PINNATA ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA
This study investigates the impact of Azolla pinnata on the growth performance of Archachatina marginata, showing significant improvements in weight gain and shell size, especially at a 50% inclusion level.
BIO-STUDIES ON EFFECTIVENESS OF BENTH LEAF (Pouzolsia guinnensis) FOR IMPROVED PRODUCTION IN GIANT AFRICAN LAND SNAIL ECOTYPES
This study investigates the effectiveness of Pouzolsia guinnensis as a feed additive for improving fertility, hatchability, and growth traits in giant African land snails, including Achatina achatina and Archachatina marginata strains.
MALACOLOGICALAND PARASITOLOGICAL SURVEY OF FRESHWATER SNAILS COLLECTED IN OJO AREA OF LAGOS, NIGERIA
Explore the malacological and parasitological survey of freshwater snails in Ojo, Lagos, focusing on species like Bulinus truncatus and Pila ovata, and their role as snail vectors. No parasitic infections were found, emphasizing the need for health education.
